The BBC's weekly The Boss series profiles different business leaders from around the world. This week we speak to Shahzad Younas, founder and chief executive of Muslim dating website and app Muzmatch.It was two years ago, and the then 32-year-old British entrepreneur was in San Francisco pitching London-based Muzmatch to a group of high profile potential investors.
Today the fast-growing company says it currently has more than one million registered users across the UK and some 90 other countries.Image copyrightUsers of Muzmatch can choose for a parent to be able to see their conversations via the app "In the Muslim community a lot of us did, and still do, rely on matchmakers [to find a wife or husband]. These are 'aunties' in the community who know families, and who would match up a son with another family's daughter."
"But I knew I had to make it work. The opportunity was big enough - there are 1.8 billion Muslims around the world, and clearly no one was serving them."
bigots don't, rest do
Yes. And neither are we on pornhub, unless a fake.
My off spring can marry anyone they choose and they will be welcome in my house. No matter what colour or religion. If they are not welcome in yours, or they are not free to chose then someone has a problem. A big problem. The elephant in the room.
Gosh I didn’t know that how do you know if you’ve married the right person
Child abuse
Debra_J_Thomas Speaking for all muslims ?
Indeed
You date on coronation street and drink alcohol....
Muslims do date ...
I can speK from experience, they do date in the uk only to marry someone else from own religion and still want you to be their girlfriend !!!
Why is this a news? 🙄
Tolerant nation!
And yet again, bbc completely befuddles everybody with....wait for it....yet another shite not even news tweet.
I thought forced marriage was illegal in uk?
Not bothered
Or groom young female infidels for sex...
Marry 10yo girls that’s great. How many wives over the age of 18 do you have ? Gtfoh
Damn these cloven hooves......
For any Christians rejecting polygamy. Here is a verse about prophet Solomon' 3 . 'He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines, and his wives led him astray'. Bible, 1 Kings-[11:3]
They also claim that there is a “man in the sky” who tells them things like kill the infidels and child rape on an industrial scale is permitted because they don’t follow Islam, people can justify anything under the guise of religion.
Scrap the BBC licence fee.
Nobody gives a shit.
Is anyone still unclear ?
When will BBC give some real news.
WE MARRY... YOUNG. ARRANGED. FORCED.
impossible marry 'high quality ladies' without have huge wealth. are you origin from arab rich oil country ? Basically prophet Muhammad never gave example a kingdom with dynasties.
And control
Good grief! If anyone white had a site like that they'd be hammered into the ground. ArrangedMarrages
AND BY the way... having SEPARATE websites for dating is not what I would call a good step for INTEGRATION
Yeah sometimes for few hours (called muttah) and the man has to pay.... legal age: 9 (nine) ... but it's not called dating nor prpstitution nor paedophilia nor adultery... it's marriage... so it's moral. ... hint: 'marriage' includes signing a contract
is he saying Muslims are morally superior?
If the BBC want any evidence of anti Muslim rhetoric in the UK then just save all these comments. The tragedy in NZ has clearly not had any impact on many people.
unless your taxi driver-oop's sorry, couldn't resist it.
WTF?!?
Nikah Mutah. Is the system
Don't need to date as already acquainted with your cousin's
Yes you do and it’s arranged for you
We don't date, we just get another wife when we get bored of the last one.
Groom
Muslims don’t date, they get married to their cousins by their parents.
Oh that's good advice. The BBC and this religion have just one thing that connects them, Rotherham and Jimmy.
Yes and treat your wives like chattels & beasts of burden ?
Yes and it's symptomatic of an ideology that is 500 years behind the West's. Integrate, or live in one of the many Islamic countries where it works for you. You must adapt to us, not the other way around and we should assist in that process. It isn't about hatred or Islamophobia
Children, and to control and deny other peoples rights...
Will there be a section for apostates?
Many, many times,
Whether she wants to, or not!
There are other faiths, just to be clear...
Creepy I think you mean we don't date we force marry
Out of touch
Typical twitter replies. Most having no clue how it works.
Great
... who your parents tell you to.
For all religion haters below and probably above who feel they've evolved to a higher plain of existence & don't require religion to guide your lives has that higher plain not taught you the basic teaching of life which is respect & tolerance of others 😏..
Not in Rotherham, Rochdale etc,etc though!
What a great idea for an app! 👏🏽😂
Dating implies choice and equality in making that choice.
So did Henry 8th !
stereo typying yourself is ok & yer like em young.😆
Sly and the family stone, It's a family affair must be played at every WEDDING
Yeah about ten at a time. We marry one in the UK.
Forced.
Hahahha maybe some decades ago but now muslim date n some even engage in sexual activities b4 marriage
Lol! Muslims aren't all the same - of course some date/have relationships outside marriage. The BBC needs to stop encouraging people pigeonholing other people.
FORCED to convert & marry. Of course no place for dating.
🤐
And if it doesn’t pan out....
Jeje jeje
Muslim promotion being pushed by every major media outlet. Such a drive can mean only one thing... Trouble....
SteveBrookesMBE Really 🤔
I guess there are as many different kinds of Muslim as in other religions. I hope.
Men?
Oh dear. A real sense of difference here.
Weirdo, the religion of peace and Rotherham taxi pedos.
And that makes you better than?
It’s called ‘arranged’.........
And groom..
Woman has no choices but marry back into the family, giving outsiders no chance
Arranged....
They sure do get a hell of a lot of coverage for such a small % of the population 🤔
Yes, children
Couldn't really give a shit to be honest
Yeah the parents choose with whom and force the wedding
Well... sometimes they date but end marrying someone their parents either choose or approve, right?
Only dates muslims enjoy.
And groom
It Begins with R...
Most people here carry std's
Possibly because they can't they can't get a date 🤣🤣🤣
Or else...
Archaic
And think of the misery it causes.
What did these Muslims do?
You wanna go on 'Married at First Sight' then mate...
Even the BBC sounds like the daily Mail, is the UK Tory government embarrassed on how NZ handled themselves in the wake of the terrorist event?
😂
Thanks for this headline news....
Muslims don't date 9 year olds, they force themselves upon them then marry them
That's that sorted then
It's actually a racist app, because I betcha white people aren't welcome on the platform.
You don't marry, you own.
...our cousin's 😂
It’s not true
Who gives a fk, this is not news! And thats because they all get their not interested prior, to busy grooming and gang raping kids.
Not the Saudis I saw in action on their Bahrain weekends . KSA
Yes this is a fact but im against the idea of this App .. I’m a muslim and without diving in details i assume it’s not the practical way to find your future partner. It comes without a plan while being in touch with people around you such as work,school..
Then groom 14 year old white girls
Racist
CIA: According to reliable sources, some people plan to march in the UK to plan a terrorist attack.
Unless your 1st cousin has other plans 🤔
So you marry and then get to know the person ? 🤔
Muslim's don't date they date rape in rotherham at least
And?
Or behead
Six year old girls.
That is less of a problem when u r allowed to marry four wives at the same time, and divorce one by saying that is ur wish three times.
as well as drug, groom, rape English children
‘Our cousins’
Usually a relative ........no hate please it’s a good old fashioned joke so laugh 😆
.... Those under the legal age, in UK Law of course !
Marry divorce marry divorce marry marry upto 4... 20 times.
'British'
Groom*
Yah, children tbh.
They lie as matter of course.
Clickbait 🙄
So what?
How many?
TBF we didn’t date either. But then our women gained voting rights, higher education and professional careers, i.e. life choices beyond household, so now we do.
Yeah, this is all perfectly normal, nothing to see here
That used to be a thing in Europe too, back in the feudal age before the Enlightenment, when people were still in thrall to primitive ape superstitions.
We all know what and which! World sees so many things everywhere, everyday!
I could tell what the comments would be☺️ this photo is so smug. Pushing buttons shouldn't be this easy.
Like these then?
Wrong headline. They are allowed to have wives. I think this a good idea because it stops husbands from cheating on their wives
Wtf lol? My rich experience with 'muslims' in this department suggests otherwise hahaha
Britain should never never ever forget
Up to four women at a time!
...9 year old girls
marry..... and breed.
That’s not a good thing
you marry but have a low rent white girl or two on the side.
Religion...the last acceptable form of exclusivity and bigotry. Some day, in the far future we’ll have evolved beyond this ridiculous fairy tale, and will shake our huge frontal lobes in bewilderment..
family abuse and domestic violences come right after..
That’s why Muslims are so successful worldwide as a culture, that they run to societies where dating is normal. Must enjoy the silly moment. NoHateJustTruth
😂😂👿
...and repent at you’re own leisure. What are the relevant divorce figures like?
Hahaha that’s not true they sneak date. Seen sooooooo many hiding holding hands and kissing running when they think someone they know coming.
You marry and divorce after few months or years and still looking to marry more
Cousins, specifically
Interesting
My absolute worst nightmare.
‘and give are inferior wives a beating or two’
And that explains the Honduran Caravans! Dating app will be prepackaged with Honduran woman paid by Mike Pompeo to disguise themselves as Muslim women, in effort to advance 'Global Domination Under the Cross', per Pompeo, the Muslim men will become targets, and farmed of assets.
le advert, Husband with 3 wives wants a fourth must be beautiful 37 22 36 or thereabouts 20/30 index linked pension included with credit card option for a very good bottom line
This is true. 😄
I have easily 15 Muslim friends that think you are just talking bs
“Thots and roasties HATE this man”
That Explains It!!!...
Bit fast
I want to meet a female!!!!
Yikes!!!😬
Yeah and some also marry little girls age 10 and thinks it's ok
lol
In order to appeal to the university campus and the impact of the penetration systems, the temporal factor and the labor force help to complete the current investigation and have the right to set the trading areas
Hypocritical
A date or two before marriage wouldn’t hurt though
And sometimes you're even told who to marry :)
that is generally how Islam works, yes
