This is the submission form for essays/op-eds:

Guidelines

Essay op-eds should adhere to the following guidelines (this is a growing list currently under construction):

Style

  • Do use capital letters and fullstops where appropriate. Do not use SMS language or excessive ALL CAPS.
  • Although essays/op-eds can be informal in style, keep the level of your tone and language within reason.
  • Make sure your submission is 1000 words or longer, and at least 3 paragraphs. http://www.wordcounter.net/

Content

  • Do not submit racist, homophobic or sexist content. This includes derogatory comments towards Arabs or other ethnic groups often associated with Islam.
  • Focus on issues related to Islam. Do not use essays/op-eds as a platform to debate or attack atheism/theism/religion or to claim "_____ is just as bad as Islam."
