====Responses to Apologetics====

These articles need strengthening and examination of any rebuttals:  

# [[The Story of Umm Qirfa]]: needs additional references from the original sources used in the comic. Contact arabic language people and ask them to translate the arabic text used in the comic strip. Deal with this rebuttal [http://www.islamicsearchcenter.com/archive/2010/01/the-story-of-killing-of-umm-qirfa-the-facts-and-the-lies/] in a "Responses to Apologetics" section.

===Qur'an===

# [[Qur'an and the Big Bang]] - add additional refutation for example Arabic analysis of verse 51:46 (check [http://expanding-universe-quran.blogspot.com/] for Muslim arguments)

# [[Quran and Semen Production]] - evaluate text at: [[WikiIslam:Sandbox/Saved Texts]]. Arguments need to be made generic and not specific for a certain website (as seen [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Responses_to_Apologetics_-_Muhammad_and_Aisha here]). Also add medical references if possible to support claims.

# [[Corruption of the Quran]] - (arabic issue) Check http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Corruption_of_the_Quran&curid=10011&diff=107484&oldid=107471 (Sabi'oon)

# [[Muhammad's Companions and Pedophilia]] - add section about Fatima's marriage to Ali, aged 9-11

===Quran, Hadith and Scholars===

# [[Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Aisha#Fatwas]] - Add additional hadiths linked in Fatwa box [http://www.trinituner.com/v3/forums/viewtopic.php?t=267363&p=6340907]. So "See 12, 13, 14" on our page ... should all be added on the page. Also add additional thighing evidence from [http://www.faithfreedom.org/articles/muhammad-thighied-aish/] - fatwa 41409

# [http://www.faithfreedom.org/?p=331 Attitudes of the Imams and leaders] - big collection of quotes. Find sources then add the suitable quotes to [[QHS]]. Avoid unimportant leaders of small (usually Western) mosques and obscure 'extremists' such as Anjem Choudary, Abu Hamza or Omar Bakri.

===Others===

# [[Islamophobic Muslims]] - a page that gives a brief narrative of the neologisms creation and lists Muslims who would fall under the label, thus showing how ridiculous and/or misapplied the term is.

==Evaluation==

==Multi-Article Tasks==

* [[People Who Left Islam]] - Add ex-muslim testimonies from * [http://khalas.wordpress.com/ here]. One is on that page and the others are linked on the right. These people will have to be individually contacted (if contact information is available) and asked for permission. Once you have permission, proceed as follows: create their page from the [[Special:Form/newapostate|form]]. Fill out the form with as much information as you can get from their testimony or website/blog. Contact them to ask for missing information. [* [http://programmersinquest.blogspot.com/ check for testimony] This person] may also be an ex-muslim. You'll have to leave a comment in their blog and ask them to email you for something important. When they email you back, only then mention that it would be great if they could write a short testimony of them leaving Islam.

* Hadith exporing project: We will collect all the hadiths that exist which we can collect and gain access to and start going through them to find whatever is useful for the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars|QHS]] page series ([[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Islamic Silliness]] and so on). Likely a lot many hadiths will be found and new pages can be created for new categories if needed.

==Image Editing/Creation==

*Expand [[Islam Illustrated]], add from: [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Islamic Silliness]] and any others. Sample: [[Islam Illustrated: Saluting Stone]]

==Routine Tasks==
