ProgressiveIslam.Org is an online space, created for Muslims of all theological orientations to gather and engage in creative, thoughtful and intelligent discussion and debate.

We are not an organization, at least not in the typical sense of the word. We are a team of progressive Muslims, working together in a deliberate absence of formal structure.  So, rather than having a mission statement or by-laws or boards of directors and advisers or a specific goal in mind, what we have is a 'niyya', an intent.

Our intent is simply to provide the technical means and a hospitable environment for the expression of ideas in an open and civil manner. We have a few ideas to start with, but where we go from there is really up to the community of people who contribute to and use this site as a resource.  We've built the site so that it can grow in any direction and take advantage of web technologies.  We invite you to take part and help us grow wherever that takes us.

ProgressiveIslam.Org would like to suggest that you consider giving Ramadan charity to
Second Harvest, the national food-bank for the poor, or to your local food-bank. 

Second Harvest has a local food bank finder on their front page if you need help or want to contribute locally. 

We are building a  Community Portal Resource Page in the Women's Health Project.  Please tell us about services in your community.
