All the Rave in Morocco





Salaam Alaikum, Tanger!

The Fourth Corner is now up and live in its first Muslim country (not counting one's occupied by US Troops), thanks be to Allah the most compassionate and merciful. With the Fourth Corner's expansion across the religious realms of the world -- Christian, then Buddhist, then Hindu, THEN Mormon, then Islam -- our editors decided to have a look at how each religion sizes up against its brethren on the web. After all, 40% of people get their news from the internet, odds are that's how they shop for religion too. Who would you bow to based off their internet presence?

Christianity: This site is Facebook for Christians.
Buddhism: The Venerable Master's website is as confusing as Buddhism itself.
Hinduism: Not as confusing as Buddhism, but then again, we've never fully understood the Lord Shiva's intent. According to this, the point of Hinduism is to die without being reborn. Here's the catch: you can't do that by dying.
Mormonism: Summoning the 9/11 muse, this sleek website uses YouTube to show how one 9/11 survivor used his faith to get him through. Edgy.
Islam: Your salat times when you need them! Islam.com: informative, minimalistic, has an app where you can figure out what your Islamic birthday is!
