The Islamic Monthly: January 2011

The Islamic Monthly is an independent, U.S.-based publication that fosters public discussion on a broad range of issues and concerns related to Muslims in the modern world. The magazine was launched in January 2011 as an effort to create a forum for the free exchange of ideas, perspectives and opinions. We, at The Islamic Monthly, do not seek to be the sole voice of Islam or the Muslim community. Rather, the magazine is part of an ongoing experiment of a free Muslim press eager to build on the rich tradition of public discourse found in Islamic and Western history. We firmly believe that an honest discourse is only possible when we open ourselves to response, criticism, feedback and debate. In this spirit we invite our readers, supporters and critics to participate in this process.
