Many articles in wikipedia seem to be a bit too PC, I've putting the dutch articles a bit more in perspective or at least making islam look a little bit more negative. Someone willing to take on the english section?

'''My dear Hume, Wikipedia canst not be modified in a sucheth a manner as which you refer to by the phrase "our way". The doctrine in major force at Wikipedia is one which is known amongst all participants therein as "neutral point of view" or NPOV, to be brief. "Our way" would be for us to putteth forth our point of view without qualification. This wouldst never be deemed acceptable in the realm of Wikipedia.

Nevertheless, my friend, there is hope that truth will out!

That which is worthy of acting upon is the inclusion of POV with qualifying terms writ before the P sucheth as "..so and so claims...", "their website states that...", "some ex-Muslims hold the view that...", etcetera.''' Furthermore...

New articles can be written in NPOV on topics where none hast yet been created. Forsooth, gaze thine eyes uponst the following page as linkethed, below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=ex-muslims&go=Go

Wouldst thou or any participant of this forum herein at FFI like to write such an article on the subject of "ex-Muslims" there? One may do so as a registered member or not. If one registers, then I believe one's IP address is hidden from public view. If one chooses not to register, then one's IP address is viewable.

Once one hath created such an article, then one's work is hardly yet begun. One must create a multitude of linkages unto that article, including directly or undirectly from those articles which most of us here at FFI wouldst find as bland as unsalted gruel and twice as unappetizing as food for thought. Cast thine eyes upon the following examples which lead to the article about our own very cherished Ali Sina:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Ali_Sina

You will see, there, Hume, that there is a link to Ali Sina from Aisha. There is a link to Aisha from Muhammad. There is a link to Muhummad from Islam. The link game is very important. It is important to have as many linkages to the Ali Sina page and other pages like it because this raises on search engines like Google, the ranking of pages that are important in "our" view.

NPOV is bad enough for islam. I made some changes to which there was some objection because people thought they were biased but in the discussion I was able to give them the facts and they accepted the changes. _________________ BAH, Humbug! Back to top elpiojo

Great idea, I added a link in de nl to some opposite views on Islam. I would like to do more. Perhaps all together here in this forum we can compile a list of articles regarding Islam needing some adjustments…??? On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam on the left bar can be found all the links to other Wikipedia pagina's regarding Islam

'''Well my additions also survived and I think we should take It to the next level. There is in the English Wikipedia an page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamophobia And it’s linked quit many times…. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Islamophobia Perhaps we can extract the “best lines” from the different Islam articles regarding to opposite views and construct a paragraph which we all could translate in our own languages. This would give a stronger foundation and more point of view to construct a strong but fair paragraphs:

Opposing viewpoints • Entry on Islam in the Apologetics Index database (http://www.apologeticsindex.org/i07.html). While motivated by Christian missionary aims, it also includes many links to articles or books it claims to refute. • Open Directory Project: Islam - Opposing Views

I guess that an paragraph like this one form the German Wikipedia should execist: Der Islam und andere Religionen (islam and other religions) Der Islam unterscheidet bei seiner Betrachtung Andersgläubiger strikt zwischen monotheistischen und polytheistischen Religionen. Juden, Christen und Johanneschristen genießen den ausdrücklichen Schutz des Korans und haben als «Schriftbesitzer» (اهل الكتاب ahl al-kitāb) in islamischen Staatswesen eine den Muslimen untergeordnete Stellung als sogenannte Dhimmi, werden aber nicht als Heiden (siehe Schirk und Kufr) betrachtet, wenn sie den Regeln ihrer Religion gemäß leben. Gegen heidnisch-schamanische, hinduistische, buddhistische, taoistische und andere religiöse Systeme dagegen ist der Dschihad zulässig und Allah gefällig, den Anhängern dieser Religionen bleibt nur die Wahl zum Islam überzutreten oder getötet zu werden. Bemerkenswert ist auch, dass man dem Islam zufolge nur zum Islam übertreten, aber niemals aus dem Islam "austreten" und sich einer anderen Weltanschauung oder Religion zuwenden kann, obwohl Artikel 18 der "Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte" ausdrücklich Religionsfreiheit jeder Art und das Recht auf Religionswechsel in jede Richtung proklamiert. Dennoch müssen Muslime, die den Islam verlassen, oftmals mit ihrer Ermordung durch ihre im Islam verbliebenen Glaubensgenossen rechnen, denn das Recht auf Religionswechsel im Sinne des Rechtes auf Verlassens des Islam wird von der islamischen Gemeinde (Ummah) nicht anerkannt.

And i also like this line form the Spanisch one. (it’s a doctrine and it should be a part of all Islam related articles.

Doctrina Su libro sagrado, el Corán (Al-Qur'an, la lectura por excelencia) forma la base de la doctrina islámica. The holly book the koran (bla bla) is the foundation / base for the doctrine Islam. (I like that line…)

I hope there are people who want to help, we can coordinate the main article here!?? This is important to make sure that whoever looks up information related to islam will always be exposed to the whole story (pros en cons)'''

Dear dsj,

Many people on this forum are not native speakers of English. They can speak and write in their native language and in English. Hume, for instance, is Dutch. There are also some multilingual posters on this forum. I agree with you that those claims about the Ottomans should be changed. They did try to conquer Europe several times. What were their armies doing in the vicinity of Vienna after all?

Kind regards, That's why people should pay attention to victor hanson's papers and books. They are all about westerners being superior militarily at all times. I didn't know that you people knew so many languages. I only know 2. Back to top Sir Galahad

Dear dsj,

Many forummers are non-Western. I am not sure whether Western or non-Western posters are more likely to speak more than two languages. Like you, I only know one foreign language.

Kind regards,
