Woo-hoo! It’s official, islamicate is a banned site. We are not reachable in Qatar. We’re officially censored. Mark of honor. Need a badge to put on the site.

hawgblawg: Robin Wright on Arab/Islamic Hip-Hop
About time MERIP got a blog. Some nice stuff brewing. hawgblawg: Robin Wright on Arab/Islamic Hip-Hop. Merip has a brand new blog, launched today. I intend to contribute posts on a regular basis–but I will not be abandoning hawgblawg by any means. My first was a meditation on how Robin Wright celebrates Arab/Islamic hip-hop in her book, Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion Across the Islamic World. Read it here.
We got a new address
Well, the collective (yes there is more than Ghost Dog and myself, although you wouldn’t know it from the majority of posts) decided if we got two months of greater than a 1,000 hits we’d register a domain for ourselves. We crossed the threshold last night. Those of you who have been coming to us from http://islamicate.typepad.com/islamicate/ can continue to do so. However, you can now also find us at https://islamicate.com/. To most of you it will mean nothing in terms of visiting the site. For us, it’s an important milestone. I’ll be doing a slight restructuring of the site…
