===High priority===
Topics listed here are of high importance and their reasons for importance are mentioned below:
Topics listed here are of high importance and their reasons for importance are mentioned below:
# [[Debating Guide]] - directed towards non-Muslims who are debating Islam. General advice, how to use this site in debates, common types of attitudes seen from the other side and how to deal with it, rejecting a link because it's a wiki, anti-Islamic or "hate" (also link to FAQ, or summarize those questions)<br/>Importance: Our site contains a lot of knowledge. People can learn better debating techniques for Islam related topics when using our information or information from any other valid source
# [[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.
# [[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.

#[[Scientific Errors in the Qur'an]] - high traffic page (top 10), often linked by people, needs review and the under construction template taken out.
:This one has now been done by Lightyears (see the discussion tab for the scientific errors page)
====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.
##The rebuttal has been taken care of in the article.

# Create [[Debating Guide]], a series of pages for topics which are commonly debated about. Its main page will give general advice on debating. This is to help people who are debating about Islam. These pages will be short and quick to read for the reader. For example [[Debating Guide:My topic]]. For some topics people can be asked to check the detailed pages such as: [[Responses to Apologetics - Muhammad and Aisha|Responses to Apologetics: Muhammad and Aisha]]. There may be some duplication of content as some pages have "Responses to apologetics" section. The idea is to make it easy for people to get the knowledge they need in debates. Links to popular debate topics to make it easy for people to know what links or information to use.
# "Did you know" random content boxes, or pages listing interesting facts, quotations and stuff from other pages (e.g. things from [[Kalachakra Tantra]] and so on).

#[[Beheadings in Historic and Contemporary Islam]] - Create article in tabular format like [[List of Killings Ordered or Supported by Muhammad|list of Killings]] but only mention incidents in which beheadings were done under the orders of Muhammad and by his historic and modern followers.

Also summarize incidents of beheadings that have appeared in the Media in the modern world. Examples of historic incidents (see List of Killings for any information): (1) Ibn Hisham, Ibn Ishaq, Alfred Guillaume (translator), The life of Muhammad: a translation of Isḥāq’s Sīrat rasūl Allāh, pp. 755-756. Footnote says: The apostle ordered Uthman to cut his head off. (this incident is about the death of Al-Harith) (2) [[Banu Qurayza]]. A lot of sources will need to be scanned.

* 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.
