A new virtual world, Muxlim Pal, has been launched as the first aimed at the Muslim community.

A new virtual world – the first aimed at the Muslim community – has been created, and its trial version has been launched.

The browser-based virtual world is called Muxlim Pal. It is based loosely on other virtual worlds such as The Sims, allows users to control the life of a cartoon avatar, or pal, with opportunities to customize the avatar’s look and private room. The avatar can be used as a proxy to explore the Muxlim Pal virtual world - which has a beach bar, arena and shopping areas. Although Muxlim Pal can be used for free, premium services provide an option for its user to do more with their avatar or personal room.   

Aside from distinguishing itself as the first virtual world aimed at Muslims, Muxlim Pal sets itself apart on a social aspect. "How it differs from The Sims is that it is social," explained Mohamed El-Fatatry, founder of Muxlim.com, the parent site of Muxlim Pal. "So you can actually be with other people at the same time, interact, and see what their characters are doing."

El-Fatatry said he hoped this virtual world would help Muslims meet and talk to others that shared their interests.

Muxlim Pal’s creators, who have aimed the virtual world particularly at Muslims in Western nations, also hope that it will benefit both Muslims and Non-Muslims by promoting further understanding among those not familiar with the Muslim culture. 

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

In terms of religion, El-Fatatry added, "We are not a religious site, we are a site that is focused on the lifestyle...This is for anyone who is remotely interested in the Muslim culture and the Muslim lifestyle."

According to El-Fatatry, out of the 26 different categories of content contained on Muxlim.com, only one consisted of religion.

Muslim lifestyle isn't about religion?

I find that statement very confusing, given the fact that the word "Muslim" completely, wholely, and utterly refers only to one who has converted to the religious faith of Islam, and is therefore "Muslim".

This would be like if the founder of Catholic website said: We are not a religious site, we are a site that is focused on the lifestyle...This is for anyone who is remotely interested in the Catholic culture and the Catholic lifestyle.

Both the words "Catholic" or "Muslim" when connected to the word "lifestyle" implies exactly that it all has to do with religion, because it is essentially about how the religious beliefs affect and influence the decisions, actions, and provisions for the way in one lives their life.

Trying to divorce religion from the use of the word Muslim is just silly and his attempt at diplomacy for whatever he was hoping to convince me on by making this statement just failed.

So you made a religious-oriented Second Life - admit it and get over it.

Actually I've found religion helps make the whole world a more happy and culturally improved world, which is why I think it would be better if all nations of the world embraced all religions and allowed them to co-exist peacefully.

It certainly works in Civ 4, though admiteddly the various religions in that simulation are esentially identical and don't have unique cultural units such as the 'Crusader' for empires with Christianity as a state-religion (probably a replacement for the Knight, with a higher attack bonus so they have a better chance of killing all defenders, but no chance of retreating when losing), or the 'Suicide-bomber' for those with Islam as the state-religion (a replacement for the Spy, with a much greater chance of destroying city improvements or similar sabotage missions and also incurring a temporary unhappiness penalty and population reduction in the city when doing so, but is automatically destroyed even if the mission is "successful" and may result in non-Islam state-religion civilizations having a more negative view in diplomatic relations). I suspect the game's developers decided to steer well clear of that sort of thing as they didn't want fanatics of every religion targetting their HQ :p

Religion, when viewed at a scale higher than that of an individual or family, becomes just another form of politics, a set of people who for one reason or another believe they have the authority to determine the behavior of others. For a government, the source of that authority is easily identified, be it a quantifiable democratic vote one can claim a mandate from, or an equally quantifiable arsenal of weapons to sieze and hold power with. For the church the source of the authority is inherently intangible, yet appears to carry the same if not more weight in the minds of many humans. How can a government compete with that? It may be that they simply can not. Our so called separation of church and state doesnt stop so called faith-based organizations from being up to their eyeballs in our political process, or trying to sneak back into our public schools whenever possible. When is comes down to it, where will a believers ultimate loyalty be? Terrorists the world over have demonstrated that faith and idealogy override country and nationality. There are plenty of American Jews that would automatically side with Israel if a falling out with the US occured. As long as organized religion continues to assert authority that competes with nation states, we will never find the peaceful coexistence you speak of. I fear it will take some more very tragic events before that will be possible.

That's why Muslim girls aren't allowed to wear their hijab (headscarf) while playing soccer, or a woman in corrections training was booted for wearing it?

There are many examples where Muslim women are discriminated against: http://noorulislam.wordpress.com/2007/05/19/%EF%BB...

Also, the Muslim culture of marrying up to 4 women isn't respected in Canada. Christian priests constantly push their fear agenda with respect to Islam.

As to the Christians in Canada going to war against the Muslims, they have indeed joined the US in fighting the Taliban.

For about 1,000 years, western nations have been attacking Muslim nations, and still we're waging them. There's nothing debatable about that statement. It's a fact.

Anyways, the west hates Islam, even while it pretends to be open minded to it. Look at this post itself. Out of the first 3-4 posts, 2 of them joked about how good graphics cards would be required for the explosions, and how the game would blow up or something to that effect. You can pretend that the west is open about it, but you're just lying to yourself.

Canada is not a particularly open culture, but the propaganda machine sells it as such. How many other countries have you lived in? I grew up in Canada, and have also lived in the USA and S. Korea. I'm now in Indonesia and China's next. Living in these very different cultures has opened my eyes to the hypocrisy and lies that were drilled into me at school and through the media.

Anyways, the west really never hated islam (or even really noticed it) untill 9/11.

Can you blame them for having such a first introduction?

The muslim nations could of atleast unilaterally denounced the event, instead of keeping quiet while their extremist neighbours celebrated...

You reap what you sow, an unfortunate truth...

Im not saying its right, but they should atleast expect/accept such treament for their lack of strength and unity.

You don't see Catholics making a fuss about being berated in conversations about the sexual abuse scandals. I've never seen anyone do anything; except bow their heads in sadness when its mentioned.

You make a good point, but you neglect to mention that that the atrocities of the Christians during the crusades eventually lead to a reformation. Islam has never had a reformation and they have destroyed movements attempting to do so. According to Islamic leaders, modernity is heresy.

Everybody seems to forget the crusades were a reaction against militant Islam's foray into Western Europe, as far as Spain. The Catholic church felt threatened, and for very good reason. Was it necessary to turn around and do the same to the Muslims as they did to the Christian church? No. But I throw it out there because to simply think the Catholic church randomly went on a killing tirade, when there are no commands in the Bible given to modern day (as in post-Jesus) Christians to do such a thing, is both naive, and insulting/biased against Christians.

Yeah, and you seem to forget your history...

The Crusades weren't a reaction to invasions of Western Europe, they were a response to Alexius Comnenus' request for military assistance in response to the Turkish invasion of Asia Minor following the 1060's.

Not to mention the damage that the Crusades' eventually inflicted upon Eastern Christendom is largely still felt to this day... For all their historical pomp and circumstance, the Crusades are largely a self-damaging affair for Christendom in general.

u obviously dont know much about history. 1.The byzantine empire requested aid against the ottoman turks aggression into asia minor, and
2.the pope was concerned about all the wars happening in europe and wanted to focus European kings efforts away from killing each other and so promised them land in the middle east.

As to your question that "Europe was feeling threatened by islam's foray into Western Europe", well Europe sure as hell was'nt catholic before it was forced to accept Roman catholicism at the end of a sword, so what difference does it make if they're being forced to catholicism or islam?

The highest authority in Islam is about equal to what a Bishop in the Catholic Church controls...

so your modern = heresy item would really need to be taken on a Mosque to Mosque basis

this is also why you never see them calling each other out on subjects like jihad and hating the US... they simply do not technically posses the moral authority to tell them what to do

What about the Caliph? I know there isn't one at the moment, but from what I know about it (a sci-fi novel in the Ender's Game series, and a glance at Wikipedia) it would seem similar to the position of Pope as head of the catholic church.

Maybe it would be better if Muslim countries were united under a Caliph, who did the equivalent of ex-communicating those who use Islam as a reason for terrorist acts.

You've got that backwards. The first crusade that took Jerusalem resulted in every man woman and child in that city being executed by the Christians. Some years later, the Muslims took it back, and it wasn't until the 20th century that Christians have, with the help of the Jews, been able to retake that land. Heck, we still have a nation in prison over this which is supported by Western nations. They put Palestinians in them about 60 years ago, and still we're in support of it. It's unbelievable, really.

Even the Persians didn't invade Europe until after Alexander the Great went on a bloody rampage through their country.

The first crusade was partially in response to the Seljuq Turks who took over Anatolia, part of the Byzantine Empire (a.k.a Christians) in the 11th Century. That's what he was talking about. Those wacky Roman Catholics got a little too rambunctious so they decided to kick it into high gear and re-take Jerusalem while they were at it. Those wild and crazy guys... besides, they had all these mercenaries just doing nothing, fighting amongst themselves, so they figured they'd point them at the Holy Land and see what happened.

@wordworm so you blame the West and not Egypt and Jordan (and the other contributing muslim nations who said nothing)?
You do realize that the Palestinians are in Gaza and West Bank. Both territories that were under the control of muslim nations right? That when these territories were ceded to Israel , that Jordan and Egypt first both rounded up local Palestinians and forced them into these territories? Instead of doing the good muslim thing of letting in their own countries. It's not like the Israelis wanted the palestinians since they had declared war on Jews (and lost) multiple times over.
But no the muslim view throughout history is it always someone else's fault. Hell you even blame Alexander so I guess it goes back to the beginnings of Civilization (Western of course).

/Ridda (Islamic Apostasy) is all someone needs to know to distrust a devout muslim.

George Bush II is a terrorist. He's killed 100s of thousands. Clinton's reign saw some terrorist acts in Iraq, including the bombing of a school. Just because they're killing Muslims, it doesn't mean that it isn't a terrorist act. Heck, 9/11 was mostly about Saudi terrorists, but I don't see the US/UK going in there. The US in particular has been one of the bloodiest nations of the decade. Let's hope that Obama will reverse all this. He seems to be Muslim friendly - but he's just a president, and he's got a huge country of anti-Muslims to deal with. Heck, even McCain thought it was funny to sing, "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.

In recent history/experience from the famous 9/11 to now in Mumbai (India) ,from Saddam Hussien to Iran to Hamas to Hezbullahs to Al Qeida etc -

Allaho Akbar means "God is great"

*a terrorist walks into a mall*

"ALLAHO AKBAR!"

*EXPLOSION*

It would be more like if an non-denominational Christian lifestyle site went up. A place where Christians can get together and talk about whatever, with other Christians of all denominations. Islam is no more monolithic than Christianity, and to try to compare it to Catholicism is inaccurate - inaccurate enough to lead to poor conclusions.

Think of it like the YMCA - It's got Christian right there in the title, but that doesn't mean it's all about Christianity. Or a Jewish Community Center - there's lot's going on, not all directly religious, all within the context of the greater Jewish culture and community

Also, not to nitpick, but Muslim can refer to one who is born a Muslim, not just a convert.

How 'bout a christian driving his car into a crowded market place and detonating, taking out a cool 30 people-odd co-incidence that they are all muslims isn't it?If its their misinterpretation of the innocent Koran that spurred them on to mass murder, why don't we hear everyday of similar widespread murderous actions from individuals(stonings, honour killings or)large groups of people(ala Al Quida, Taliban,etc)who misinterpret and twist the bible?(Suicide-bombing evangelists anyone?)-ALLAH AKBAR!!-I know all you politically correct idiots will rate this comment down(When Islamists unite in their Koran-induced hated n mass-bomb the west, and you wake up with a fat muslim guy on your bed, standing above you with his RPG-shaped d#ck in you a#$- you'll understand). So if you agree with me, rate this comment up!!

Evidently you've never heard of the Tamil Tigers, who've been killing hundreds of thousands of people for over 30 years in Sri Lanka. Crikey, they couldn't possibly be terrorists because they're not muslim, could they?


oo!

"How it differs from The Sims is that it is social," explained Mohamed El-Fatatry, founder of Muxlim.com, the parent site of Muxlim Pal. "So you can actually be with other people at the same time, interact, and see what their characters are doing."


Huh? What, you completely ignored The Sims Online and just compared your service to The Sims in order to make it look like you innovated in the same genre?

Holy cow,
people, let each of his own. If you want to be a christian, be a christian. If you want to be a muslim, so be. If you want to worship E.T., worship E.T. As long as you keep from forcing all around that you are the only one in the world with copyright to highest geniality of your belief I couldn't care less about your belief.

There are web sites for like every thinkable groups of interest. Web sites for computer geeks, web sites for engineers, web sites for kids, for elderly people, for jews, for christians. From this point of view this system is just based for some target audience. It's no different from ... WoW for example - target audience being muslim in one and average teen kid in other.
