Topics listed here are of high importance and their reasons for importance are mentioned below:
# [[Islam]] - Rewrite existing article in a similar vein to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam Wikipedia's article]. The existing content can be moved, deleted or merged with other pages. Article should be optimized for translation (include partial quotes) as it will be the first article to be used for translations. It will give an overview of Islam, cover important information from all Core articles and also contain other information like Muslim Statistics. Use less quote boxes if possible and include quotes in the references. Check [[Site map]] for possible additions and redirect [[WikiIslam:Sandbox/All about Islam]] to [[Islam]] after including any useful information from that article. Split topics into multiple pages (core topics) using a menu on the right.<br/>Importance: (a) This will be the first series of article to be translated into any language. (b) This is an important article because it is linked on almost every page.
# [[Islamophobia]] - ([[WikiIslam:Sandbox/Validity of the concept of Islamophobia|Sandbox]] for temporary article work) term still being used by apologetics to attack legitimate criticism of Islam. Some good points raised here: [http://www.rightsidenews.com/2011012412648/editorial/rsn-pick-of-the-day/anglophobia-or-islamophobia-whats-the-real-problem.html Anglophobia or Islamophobia] & here: [http://ricochet.com/main-feed/Moderate-Muslim-Watch-How-the-Term-Islamophobia-Got-Shoved-Down-Your-Throat How the Term "Islamophobia" Got Shoved Down Your Throat]. Analyze the Runnymede's definition of the term. Other sources: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamophobia Wikipedia], and one of the old revisions ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Islamophobia&diff=322752514&oldid=322750564#Views sample revision], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Islamophobia&offset=&limit=500&action=history page history, see for removal/change of content]), [http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Islamophobia Rationalwiki]. Also see this [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Fake_Anti-Muslim_Hate_Crimes_and_Other_Lies#Islamophobia_on_the_Rise section].<br/>Importance: This term is used to silence criticism of Islam.
# [[Suicide Bombing in Islam]] - add additional evidence from [http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/018-suicide-bombing.htm]. <br/>Importance: This topic is discussed very often.

#[[The Ramadan Pole Paradox]] - Rewrite into a normal and serious article, getting rid of the Q&A format. This is an old article that covers a very important issue. Unfortunately it's age is showing. It's style would no longer be acceptable for new articles created on the site.

# [[Tawheed]], there is already a page [[Monotheism]], but they are not synonymous. In Tawheed, god is the only authority, therefore democracy is haram, because in democracy the "haakimyya" (authority) belongs to the people and not to god. And stuff like that... basically everything that is not Islam is shirk and against tawheed. Scholars> Muhammad al Maqdisi, Maududi.
# [[Muhammad's reputation]] - before Islam he was known as trustworthy according to Muslim sources, but we don't have non-muslim sources. Sirat Rasul Allah contains other absurd stories, obvious myths, that try to prove Muhammad is legit. "Ameen" means trustworthy, but it could be just a name, just like his mom was named Amina.

* Quran/Qur'an inconsistency. We should use only one form. Qur'an is closer to the Arabic original, but that's all. I'd rather use Quran, because that is more natural for English and the articles are in English. People who don't speak Arabic have no idea what the ' means anyway, so why write it? And people who speak Arabic they know without any confusion, that Quran is قرآن. So the ' is not helping anyone. And Arabic also doesn't care when transliterating English words. Arabic doesn't have P and is not ashamed to use B instead (without any weird constructions trying to "emulate" P). So why should English be so submissive and use strange contructions (which no one understands anyway) to get closer to Arabic original? Also Qur'an is still wrong, because 1) the Eglish q is read as k, 2) The "a" is not long as in Arabic. 3) It's missing al- prefix. So a really precise would be something like al-'qur'aan. I suggest to change all occurrences of Qur'an to Quran and set it as a rule.
