One link is to Practice Works, Inc., which, according to the web article, privately placed certain shares of its stock with Crescent International, Inc.:


 * "Atlanta, Georgia, December 21, 2001 -- PracticeWorks, Inc. (Amex: PRW) announced that it has completed a private placement of approximately 870,000 shares of the Company's common stock to institutional investors, certain directors of the Company and Crescent International, Inc. ("Crescent"), holder of the Company's Series C preferred stock. Proceeds to the Company totaled approximately $5.7 million...."

Another link is to Ontario, Canada, Newspapers (added May 30, 2003): "Crescent International Inc.", i.e. the monthly newspaper Muslimedia International.

According to the Overview section, "MUSLIMEDIA.com is an independent, free service provided by Crescent International, newsmagazine of the Islamic movement. All articles are from the latest editions of Crescent International. These may be reprinted/reproduced without prior permission, but acknowledgement on reproduction will be appreciated."

Clicking on the Crescent International link will connect you with the subscription page (with office addresses listed at the bottom of the page).

On the righthand side of the web page for Muslimedia International you will find "Muslimedia is an Internet news and feature service from Crescent International, the newsmagazine of the global Islamic movement." Located just above that you will find the link "Muslimedia is affiliated to the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought." The ICIT web site was last updated on September 11, 2002, curiously the anniversary of 9/11.

Comment : It would seem that all of the links to Mansoor Ijaz's Crescent affiliations loop back and forth and go nowhere, with only an occasional "ah-ha" moment or two.
