In the vast pool of online matchmaking, lovelorn Muslims have no shortage of options for finding their matrimonial match: Meet Me Halal, Muslim Mingle and Salaam Love are just a few sites promising users a spiritually suited soul mate. Wardah Khalid, author of the "Young American Muslim" blog for the Houston Chronicle, says Muslims of her generation "Connect on so many more things." Abbas Rattani, the creator of Mipsterz, says that while the premise of Hipster Shaadi doesn't speak to everyone, for users uncomfortable with casual courtship, the site is a "Nascent approach at dating and trying to wrestle" with their ties to Western culture and Muslim traditions. By choosing to join the particular community of Hipster Shaadi, young Muslims have ownership of their lives without doing away with the "Broader culture of support," Safi says.
