Im working on filing a RFC against Zora, i need to see how many people are around that wants to suport that. Are you in? --Striver 18:25, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

A RFC is a Request For Comments. Im going to file one against Zora. It does not have any real implications, but it lets us see how people that are not involved think about her behavior. It also is a prerequisit for a ArbCom, and that can lead to warnings or banning, in the worst case. --Striver 19:32, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Yazid I edit war

I've blocked AladdinSE for edit warring with you on this article. Policy says that all parties should be treated equally, but since you were trying to come to a compromise, and not doing straight reverts, I chose to simply warn you. Edit warring is not constructive behaviour, and in a situation like that, it's better to discuss possible compromises on the talk page, instead of just trying it out. --Phroziac _. o º ^{O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!)} 18:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Misconceptions about the Shi'a

Even though the afd did not show any consensus for merge, the admin has decided that the arguments for merge where better, and has decided that the article should be merged in the already to big Shi'a Islam article, something that make no sense at all.

Salams/Greetings,

As a member of the Wikipedia community who has contributed to articles related to Islam, I thought you might be interested in a project I am trying to get going: OpenIslampedia. Please visit the site for more information.

While it is permissible to re-use content from Wikipedia (as long as it is cited appropriately and released under their GNU Free Documentation License), it is my hope that we will be able to develop new content for OpenIslampedia, more in accordance to the needs and desires of our community and audience.

Interested? Please consider joining us! As you probably know from working in Wikipedia, every contribution counts, no matter how small.

Assalamualikum, from bless_sins

Salam, I'm bless_sins. Although I'm an ex-Sunni, I'm not exactly a Shia either. I belive in complete Muslim unity (whether Sunni, Shia, Wahhabi, Arab, African etc...). I think one of the reason Muslims suffer today is becuase we are divided and continue to fight each other.

I'm not Sunni, however, I don't like it when people attack them (nor do I like it when people attack Shia). Saying that Wikipedia is "infested with Sunni POV" isn't exactly the freindliest thing you can say.

The Quran urges kindness and unity amongst Muslims (I can provide you with verse if you want). Let's all be united in the cause of Allah. Bless sins 02:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikiethics

Hi,

We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that it needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 20:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Khalid! I would like to inform you of this: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shi'a view of Ali.--Striver 09:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Islam

Hi there, The Islam template is used in all Islam related articles and it carries an image of the mosque, if you take a close look at the other religion templates they all carry an icon that actually symbolizes the particular religion. The question is what symbolizes Islam? As a muslim you would agree that we cannot Idolize any symbol as sacred as it would be Shirk. So the next question is what kind of icon would correctly represent Islam and Muslims? It is undoubtedly the Shahada, because without it we wouldn't be muslims. So I have suggested to change the template image from a masjid to a Masjid with the Shahada in it. In order to have the image in the template I need build some consense, could you kindly visit the talk page (Template_talk:Islam) and make your suggestion, lets have the template change so it will correctly represent Islam. (You do not have to support it if you dont like it). thanks in advance.  «₪Mÿš†íc₪»  ^(T) 11:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Islamic Barnstar Award

Please offer your opinion, vote, or whatever about your choice for the image to be used with the Islamic Barnstar Award at the Barnstar proposals page. Although there is consensus for the concept of an Islamic Barnstar Award, some editors would like to change the image for the award. I was just thinking you should be aware of this discussion because you have contributed to Islamic-related articles, received the Islamic Barnstar Award, or have contributed to the Islam-related Wikiprojects, etc.--72.48.104.52 16:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Info on Islamophobic group

Hello,

What follows are the thoughts, expressed in their own words, and in the 'protest signs', of the obscure, very small, but very vocal 'activist group' known as "Protest Warrior".

"What's becoming clear is how the religion of Islam is addicted to war and mayhem. Not a radical minority, not a rogue sect, but its very essence is about submission and sacrifice and proving your worth by worshipping death in this life to gain a paradise of orgies and drunkenness. Their entire history is of warfare, and any accomplishments of their so-called Golden Age has been proven to be merely parasitic off the cultures they've conquered and reduced to dhimmi servitude. That every country under sharia is corrupt, belligerent, desolate and barbaric obviously gives them no pause, except to constantly drive them into further psychotic rage as they refuse to ever accept any responsibility for their conditions. They are akin to the powers in Orwell's 1984; there must always be an enemy. It's no surprise that women are treated like property in these countries as that's the only way Muslim men can feed their egos, to dominate others rather than ever actually produce something."

Kfir Alfia and Alan Lipton, founders of "Protest Warrior"

Their 'protest signs'...

Signs

I thought you might be interested in this group's sentiments. They are currently very actively editing their own article on Wiki and there is a lot of 'group think'. Perhaps you might want to become involved in the editing and discussion process on that page. If you do, please don't vandalize, and try to remain civil. Should you not want to involve youself, please forgive my intrusion.
