# [[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.

#[[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.

# [[Ghazwa-e-hind]] - add section about the history of the conflict.
# [[Khawarij]] - basic info and sources. Analyze the claim that "Islamic terrorists are khawarij".
# [[Takfeer]] - the greatest weakness of Islam which rips apart the Muslim community, making Muslims kill each other. Article should include the concept of 10 nullifiers of Islam. And takfeer (claiming that some Muslim is not really a Muslim) itself is not dangerous, it dangerous because of the death penalty for apostasy. ADd that takfeer is not bid'a, it's in the Quran "And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the disbelievers."

All faiths and worldviews face persecution in Muslim countries, so one should not be given undue weight over the other.

# [[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.
