THE DAILY BEAST - Feb 24 - Muslim-Americans are going mobile in their quest to find love. They use Minder which is like Tinder but for Muslims. The app launched around Valentine's Day and has already received 2K requests for approval. The app will be released to the public within two weeks. Minder is not the only one. Ishqr is a Muslim dating site that does not allow users to see the faces of the profiles they are interested in before swiping on. Crescent is on Instagram and will launch an app for iOS and Android phones soon. And Salaam Swipe, created by Canadian-Muslim Khalil Jessa, plans to launch this year. The Muslim market is still untested when it comes to monetizing these apps and hard to measure. The U.S. Census Bureau doesn’t track religious affiliation but estimates of the number of Muslims in the US vary between 2M and 7M people.
