The Blog is back!
ISoc is excited to announce the relaunch of the ISoc blog!
We want this blog to be simply a platform for the Muslims of Cambridge to write on. Were you inspired by the bravery and talent shown on Open Mic Night? This is your chance. If you did perform, why stop? Write about anything from spiritual insights to opinions on current issues, from stories and advice to even poetry! So if you have something to say, send it to us!
