Welcome to the Muslim virtual world

I’m not sure people are still signing onto a online reality a la Second Life—I was never into it—but Muxlim.com is now offering the first Muslim virtual world. From the BBC:

Aimed at Muslims in Western nations, Muxlim Pal’s creators hope it will also foster understanding among non-Muslims.

“We are not a religious site, we are a site that is focused on the lifestyle,” said Mohamed El-Fatatry, founder of Muxlim.com - the parent site of Muxlim Pal.

“This is for anyone who is remotely interested in the Muslim culture and the Muslim lifestyle,” he said.

“From what we have seen from our market research is that most Muslims have a lifestyle that is not so different from everybody else,” he said. “They all share the core values which are from Islam then beyond that they actually have made identities, they have many interests.”

Thanks, Web Guy, for the link.

I am not motivated to get onto Second Life either, but I did read on a technology website that most of the people logged on at any given time are there to gamble and have virtual sex. Presumably these will not be factors on Muxlim Pal, except maybe in Muxlim Paradise. Meanwhile, the good news for the anti-circ activists is that a virtual circumcision can’t possibly be that traumatic.
