Mission and Scope
Salaam (peace)! The mission of WikiProject Islam is to ensure that Islam-related articles on Misplaced Pages are written in an encyclopedic style, in a neutral and non-sectarian manner, using verifiable and reliable scholarly sources. This is the best place to discuss issues which affect Islam-related articles in general. Discussions about particular articles should be handled on the talk pages of those articles. This is our mission video
The scope of this WikiProject is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Islam available on Misplaced Pages.
Guidelines for editing Islam articles
Main page: Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (Islam-related articles)
To promote consistency in the way articles are written and edited, a manual of style with recommended guidelines exists. Visit it's talk page for current discussion.

Vandalism
Apart from general vandalism to Islam articles, some other recurring forms of vandalism are described below.
- Shaitan Al Mahdi adding NPOV tags to many religious articles; he/she appears to be promoting their atheistic views - Shaitan al Mahdi established as a sockpuppet.
- Unreliable claims regarding the Suhuf-i-Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham) by Moroniidris and possibly other anons. - page protected.
- Vandalism of Kaaba in the form of 'Kaaba was a Hindu temple' - periodic edit wars continuing.
- Vandalism of Black Stone in the form of 'Black Stone is a Vedic relic' - presently under control: BookwormUK banned.
Discussing specific issues
- Discussing whether Allah or God should be used in Islam articles.
- Discuss suggestions for giving Hadith references.
- Discussing whether certain Arabic words and terms are worthy of an article or if they are better placed in Wiktionary.
- Discuss whether to use salat or prayer in the salat article (and possibly others).
Tasks
- Standardise references to Qur'an translations.
- Placing articles in the most appropriate category or categories.
- Fix inadvertent placing of new Islam articles in Category:Islam when a better category (or more) can be chosen.

- User:Raphael1 - Unfortunately native english speakers mostly have a very bad attitude towards Islam these days because of political propaganda. Although I'm no Muslim myself, I will try to intercede for the muslim Wikipedians. To all Muslims: Please don't take offense personally. Stay calm and occasionally drop a word, which will hopefully wear away the stone in the end. Raphael1 01:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
