User talk:Tariq Habib

Hullo, Tariq -- I've reversed your edits to the Muhammad article and here's why: the encyclopedia is supposed to be neutral, and expressing reverence for Muhammad is not neutral. When you speak and write, you are free to add PBUH and SAW as you please, if that expresses your feelings. But the Wikipedia article should not speak as a Muslim would. An atheist or a Jain should be able to read the article and not feel that it is taking a religious position.

There is lots of work to be done on Islamic articles in Wikipedia -- for example, lots of notable people need biographical articles, etc. Many events in later Islamic history need articles (much of the earliest history is covered.) We also need much more work on Arabic literature, music, and suchlike. You could help with all of this if you liked, and were willing to write from a NPOV, Neutral Point Of View. All of us editing here would be happy to have help. Zora 07:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
