Muslim Marriage Crisis?

My father showed me an article in the local newspaper a little while ago (Is he trying to tell me something? :/) Apparently, the article had been published previously in another 209 newspaper. Here is the link from the Modesto Bee about a Muslim matrimonial service written by Jennifer Garza of the Sacramento Bee. http://www.modbee.com/life/faithvalues/story/531576.html. I also recently read a blog article by Shabana Mir about single, Muslim females in the US. Here is the link for her blog: http://koonjblog.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/single-muslim-and-female-a-gendered-forecast-of-the-american-muslim-community/

The articles are an easy read and well worth the time. I'll dedicate one of my blogs to this subject sometime in the near future. Happy reading!

Peace <3

    Salam Ishraq,

    So good to hear from you!!! Mashallah, Imam Azeez is a wonderful community leader. I've had the pleasure of hearing him speak at a conference where I heard him tell an imam joke lolll!!! What makes you think I need a husband now ;)? Maybe after I meet your two wives will I consider marriage haha ;)
