:That would be nice but there's only a few of us regular editors here and we dont have the time to chat or moderate chat. People are asked to go to forums on other websites. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] 21:05, 28 January 2011 (PST)

==Jannah==
I can't seem to find an article specifically on paradise - there's one for Jahannam but not for Jannah. I know the site's purpose is to criticize Islam but I think a pretty good case can be made against the Islamic heaven (sex slavery, no broadband etc.). I'm not a scholar of Islam so I'm reluctant to start one myself. -[[User:Orange124|Orange124]] 10:39, 2 June 2011 (PDT)
:Yeah, ATM we do have some articles related to heaven (72 virgins etc.) and a lot of primary sources ([http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Heaven here]) but we have no main/general article discussing everything. I'll add it to our to-do list. Thanks! --[[User:Admin3|Admin3]] 10:42, 2 June 2011 (PDT)

==WikiIslam run by the same guy?==
I notice this website is neutral to biased against islam.
Is this website writen by many christians?
As the christianwiki, is definately extremely pro christian biased. <small>&mdash;The preceding [[WikiIslam:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:60.242.71.160|60.242.71.160]] ([[User talk:60.242.71.160|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/60.242.71.160|contribs]]) {{#if:04:19, 13 March 2012|&#32;on 04:19, 13 March 2012|}} </small>
:This wiki is an independent one, so if you're trying to suggest there is some sort of connection with this site to other wikis, you'd be wrong. Doing a quick Google search, I found that there is a [http://wikichristian.org/index.php/Main_Page WikiChristian], and they are pro-Christian. It would be, considering it is obviously owned by a Christian and they make this clear by having a "Statement of Faith" and the first words you read on the main page is "Welcome to WikiChristian! God bless you."
:The owner of WikiIslam is atheist, and the majority of editors/contributors are either atheist or agnostic. There are also Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Zoroastrian editors/contributors. But seriously, how is the religious affiliation of editors a concern for anyone? The wiki is open to all critics so long as they adhere to our policies and guildlines. If their personal beliefs go against TOE, which the site supports, it's not our concern, and we're not in the habit of interrogating our editors and contributors.
:BTW, that has been covered in our FAQ already ([http://wikiislam.net/wiki/WikiIslam:Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_is_the_religious_persuasion_of_the_contributors_to_WikiIslam.3F Link]). --[[User:Sahabah|Sahabah]] 04:59, 13 March 2012 (PDT)
::User60.242.71.160, apparently you have inspired one of your co-religionists to post a Yahoo!Answers [http://archive.is/http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20121209052050AAXMKca question] titled, "Why is WikiIslam run by the same guy who runs WikiChristian?"
::This is a great display of how morally bankrupt pious Muslims can become. Deciding to fabricate a lie in an attempt to discredit the site (in a similar vein to how they tend to scream "[[Glossary_of_Islamic_Terms#C|Christian Missionary]]" at everyone, regardless of the critic's beliefs or occupation).
::He claims, "Just a whois lookup gave it away". But, as the Yahoo!Answers user named Anjali helpfully pointed out in reply to this Muslim, the whois lookup shows nothing of the sort. WikiChristian.org/com etc., is run by [http://archive.is/http://www.whoisxy.com/t3resultpage.aspx?type=domain&q=wikichristian.com&rid=239521 an individual from India], WikiIslam's [http://archive.is/http://www.whoisxy.com/t3resultpage.aspx?type=domain&q=wikiislam.com&rid=239522 registration is private] (clearly this apologist is one of the [[Muslim Statistics (Education and Employment)|many illiterate people]] who follow Islam). --[[User:Sahabah|Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 21:55, 9 December 2012 (PST)
:::Just for the record, in his continuing campaign to spread lies about WikiIslam, the same Muslim has opened [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20121213004152AApgYUt another question] on Yahoo!Answers. This time he's claiming we are an Islamic site, but we called him a "moron" for his imaginary edits on an article related to science and banned him. Any user/reader here can check our related talk pages, edit summaries and block logs. Doing so would reveal that this claim is false. We expect editors to be civil to one another on this site. Calling another editor (Muslim or non-Muslim) a "moron" would in itself earn you a ban here. Oh, and we know this Y!A member reads our forum messages, so just for his benefit, science does not say [[Creation_of_Humans_from_Clay#The_Scientific_Hypothesis|man was created ''from'' clay]]. --[[User:Sahabah|Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 14:42, 20 December 2012 (PST)
==History of Jihad==
WHY was the HISTORY OF JIHAD section removed? (anon IP)
:The HOJ series of articles was removed due to multiple reasons, one of them being use of inappropriate language and text that was not suitable for this site (specific quotes can be provided if needed). There were also no inline citations that would confirm the validity of what was being said (this is a core policy for our articles). There is also no known authorship. In other words, we don't know who wrote it. HOJ was imported to this site a long time ago and that time we had little content and no policies. HOJ used to exist on its own site [http://www.historyofjihad.org] but it looks like its offline right now. Here's one copy ---> http://islam-watch.org/HistoryOfJihad/index.html --[[User:Axius|Axius]] 13:19, 24 March 2012 (PDT)
::Anon will probably never see this message, but the History of Jihad site is back up. --[[User:Admin3|Admin3]] ([[User talk:Admin3|talk]]) 03:05, 2 August 2012 (PDT)
==Arabic word nikah==
IS there a page regarding the details of arabic word nikah , which means "sexual intercourse" ? and why quran uses that word for marriage in several passages ?
:Hi anon. No, we haven't at the moment, but it's on our very log to-do list. You may be interested in [http://www.translatingjihad.com/2011/03/update-fatwa-it-is-permissible-to-have.html?showComment=1299979475816#c4843074915730208352 these comments/posts] by Greenforest that covers the meaning of nikah. --[[User:Admin3|Admin3]] ([[User talk:Admin3|talk]]) 23:27, 14 June 2012 (PDT)
==Mirror?==
This site is blocked in some countries; any chance of creating a mirror that might allow direct access without having to use a proxy service?
:The mirror would probably also be blocked eventually. They'll have to use proxy or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_%28anonymity_network%29 TOR]. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 04:57, 20 June 2012 (PDT)
==First article page created. Now I have questions==
I've created my first article here (http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Quranic_Error:_Mary,_the_mother_of_Jesus_or_the_sister_of_Moses%3F)
Since I'm new to wiki editing, I was wondering if someone could see if i've used the guidelines and standardization in the correct way so far. Just a little test to see if I'm on the right track. I definately do not want to pollute this website.
Also I have this question: What do I do when an article is not finished? For now I have the words "Under Construction" at the top of the article. But this is sort of a work around. I haven't found a way to work on the article offline so that it can be published only when its finished. So I was forced to save the page and make it clear that it's still under construction. But perhaps there is a more conventional way to deal with these situations?
Also, feel free to, if you're a native English speaker, fine tune my English here and there. Since English is not my first language, I doubt at times whether my style is recognizable and not too 'Dutch', if that makes sense. [[User:Truthseeker|Truthseeker]] ([[User talk:Truthseeker|talk]]) 12:38, 30 July 2012 (PDT)
:I've added the "under construction" template to the page (to do this, just add ''<tt><nowiki>{{Underconstruction}}</nowiki></tt>'' to the top of any page). As long as that is placed on the page, it is fine. So don't feel that you have to rush yourself.
:I'm wondering, how many articles do you have to import? I think it's best if we wait for you to finish importing them all and then add them to the new articles list as a complete series (we can give them their own "front page" [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Parallelism_Between_the_Qur'an_and_Judeo-Christian_Scriptures like here], and of course you can continue adding new pages to it).
:You will also notice that I've moved the page to a title without any special characters (taking out these ''': , ?'''). This is because those characters tend to break incoming links. We get around it by adding this template at the bottom: ''<tt><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Qur'anic Errors: Mary, the Mother of Jesus or the Sister of Moses?}}</nowiki></tt>'' --[[User:Admin3|Admin3]] ([[User talk:Admin3|talk]]) 04:43, 31 July 2012 (PDT)
::I have only a few. I was hoping others could pick up the series. But I now think it's best to not use numbers for episodes. But like you said, after we have a few the articles they can be added to lists. I'm not as fast as I would be in Dutch, so it may take some time to finish the articles.[[User:Truthseeker|Truthseeker]] ([[User talk:Truthseeker|talk]]) 12:16, 31 July 2012 (PDT)
==Whoops! All Quran quotes fail ??==
It seems that the cmje.org website you refer to for Quran quotes is offline. Is this temporarily or should we start looking for a different Quran-quote template?
:Yea you're right its offline. I've written to the website owners and asked if its going to be back up. Otherwise there were some duplicate copies of that website on other places the last time I checked and we can switch. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 21:12, 30 July 2012 (PDT)
::Looks like they got the site back up: http://cmje.org/ . --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 10:15, 1 August 2012 (PDT)
::It looks like it's down. --[[User:Paul99|Paul99]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 5:18, 27 August 2014 (CMT)
