Brass Crescent Awards 2005
It is time for the Brass Crescent Awards again.
In recognition of the growing talent and creativity of the Islamic blogosphere, alt.muslim and City of Brass are hosting the Second Annual Brass Crescent Awards. The Brass Crescent Awards are named for the Story of the City of Brass in the Thousand and One Nights.
Last year, I was nominated for too many categories and ended up being a runner-up in three.
Here is how I voted:
- Best Middle-East/Asian Blogger: Cha’nad Bahraini.
- Best Group Blog: Hu despite the fact that they don’t post often enough.
- Most Deserving of Wider Recognition: Akram’s Razor which I discovered recently.
- Best Thinker: Thebit of towards God is our journey whose posts are always thoughtful and thought-provoking and usually demand a second read.
- Best Female Blog: Koonj. What can I say, I am addicted to blogs that talk about pregnancy, dissertation, baby names, etc.
- Best Post or Series: That Terror Thing by Chapati Mystery.
- Best Non-Muslim Blog: Velveteen Rabbi.
- Best Blog: um, myself.
So go ahead and vote.

Note: Disagreements are welcome, but please keep it civil. Any comments full of hatred, bigotry, trolling or spam will be deleted and the commenter banned. Do read the commenting policy.
Valid XHTML: You have to preview your comment to make sure that it is valid XHTML 1.1. You will see the "Post" button on the preview page.
Urdu: To comment in Urdu, include "p[ur](urdu). " (with a space at the end and without the quotes) at the start of every Urdu paragraph. If you want to write an Urdu word(s) in an English paragraph, do it like this: %[ur](urdu)اردو%. If you want to put an English word(s) in an Urdu paragraph, write it like this: %[en](en)English words%.
PGP Signing: PGP-signed comments are encouraged. However, clearsigning Urdu text with GPGshell produces garbage.
MathML: Select the Textile with itex to MathML text filter. What you'll use is itex, which is a superset of WebTeX and differs somewhat from standard LaTeX.
Text Filters: For regular comments, whether in English or Urdu, keep the text filter setting to its default of Textile 2. Change it to Textile with itex to MathML when writing MathML.
Gosh. Thanks! I’m honoured. Really.
