WikiIslam:About
WikiIslam is a community edited website which focuses on the critique of Islam, whilst also allowing Muslims to respond in separate articles. We are not affiliated with Wikipedia, but we do use the same software that they and many other wiki websites use. This software allows anyone to edit the website, however, all edits are monitored for accuracy by the administration.

[edit] Goals and Objectives
- To be the one-stop source of high-quality factual information critical of Islam. This information is based on its own sources, the Qur'an, hadith and Islamic scholars
- To allow Muslims to have their own articles in response to an article on the site
- To remain neutral towards other religions, world views, and issues of a political nature, such as immigration, multiculturalism, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
- To stay away from extremist, sensationalist and emotional commentary and to let the facts speak for themselves
We host many articles and make a continuous effort in ensuring our content follows the above guidelines. For this reason some articles may need to be reviewed or edited. If you have any comments on a specific article please let us know.
[edit] Who we are
We are editors from all over the world who come from all religious persuasions, including irreligious contributors of no faith. We do not endorse nor share any particular political ideology.
[edit] History
WikiIslam came online on October 27, 2005 with a temporary URL but it was not made public at that time because it was in a testing phase. A handful of editors worked on the website to help start it off. The website was made public on September 4, 2006.
[edit] Technology
WikiIslam is based on the same software that Wikipedia uses. Here is an interesting video featuring Brion Vibber talking about the technology. Brion is the Chief Technology Officer of Wikimedia, the organization which made the software on which WikiIslam, Wikipedia and other wikis run.
