O webu WikiIslam: Difference between revisions

v srpnu 2008 byla stránka vyčleněna z webu FFI a od té doby je provozována nezávisle, aniž by byla provozována nebo provázána s nějakou organizací.

In December 2006, Göran Larsson presented a paper on WikiIslam at a conference in [[Sweden]]. At that point in time, the site was barely out of its infancy, only having been open to the public for three months, and Larsson was very critical. Today, with its new policies, new guidelines, thousands of more pages and the inclusion of pro-Islamic content aimed at presenting a positive image of Islam, WikiIslam remains the same only in name. But even back then in its primitive form, Larsson admitted that he could not label all the site "Islamophobic" in nature.<ref>Göran Larsson - [http://www.springerlink.com/content/p02g0g86387j4t62/ Cyber-Islamophobia?
