ISSUE 6
OUT NOW

Within the Western Muslim communities I’ve been around, I always found the process of starting an “initiative,” towards some particular project or set of events, to either fall short from its potential or devolve into abysmal failure. Often it was a lack of intensity and enthusiasm from the core members that throttled it, but even for projects by young Muslims that have that, they all eventually get riddled with the characteristics that define the suffocating existence men face in the modern world today.

Lowly bureaucratic customs, endless browbeating by a slew of make-work “experts” in matters such as “outreach” and “community organization,” positions often taken up by people with minuscule spirits; and overall a general lack of direct, masculine initiative to just put out high-quality work in the endeavor. This is what I aim to combat forthright with QAWWAM.

Straight to the point, entertaining, educational, hard-hitting content on a regular basis that strikes at the egos of the unserious and senile enemies running the regime and its organs now, both those pretending to be Muslim and otherwise. A space where Muslim men can benefit from the work of creators they admire freely, without the peering eyes of HR commissars threatening them for their “exclusion.” Literature, history, fitness, politics, fiction, interviews, finance; all outside the mainstream and uncorrupted by modern sensibilities. If we as Muslim men are interested in it, here will be the place to find it.

Welcome to the QAWWAM brand.
