== The article reads like an advertisment == |

Every time I logged in more and more controversial topics (but nonetheless important for any religion) are removed and replaced with want-to-believe POV versions if at all. |

maybe cap the amount of religious sympathizers editing the articles? [[User:Shiftadot|Shiftadot]] ([[User talk:Shiftadot|talk]]) 09:02, 26 February 2010 (UTC) |

Budhist Nam-Rupa & Islamic Allah are similar
Buddhism is the world’s first and very ancient atheistic religion.Islam,on the contrary, is a monotheistic religion.According to the Buddhist philosophy Naam-Rupa or cosmic energy governs the universe.the cosmic energy is formless and invisible.the visibility of this formless cosmic energy is experienced by human beings through the forms of living and non-living things.The forms appear and disappear but the cosmic energy is eternally present in the cosmos constantly governing ,destroying, creating and organizing. It neither shrinks nor expands but it constantly changes which brings dynamism,rhythm and order in nature.Man has no control on nature. Allah in Islam,apart from all-pervading is omnipotent,omni-present and omniscient which means all powerful,present everywhere and knowing everything.Allah is the creator of the universe. Nothing happens without his will. He is the cause, he is the effect of every thing.supreme force is formless, not having an image.Such a supreme power Allah is formless and still gives birth to different forms — living and non-living.(Dalit Voice 16.1.2010)--Nrahamthulla (talk) 10:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Automate archiving?
Does anyone object to me setting up automatic archiving for this page using MizaBot? Unless otherwise agreed, I would set it to archive threads that have been inactive for 30 days.--Oneiros (talk) 12:42, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Gibberish in the lead
Currently, the lead states:
- The word Islam is a homograph, having multiple meanings, and a triliteral of the word salaam, which directly translates as peace. Other meanings include submission, or the total surrender of oneself to God (see Islam (term)). When the two root words are put together, the word 'Islam' gives the meaning 'Peace acquired by submission to the will of God'.
This is all nonsense, and the link cited is broken:[1] It would suffice to state (though probably not in the lead) that Islam literally means "submission," as is adequately explained in the section Islam#Etymology and meaning.98.203.142.17 (talk) 00:27, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Broken links may be checked via the wayback machine and so may not necessarily be useless. Regards-Shahab (talk) 07:45, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Size of images
The images should be as small as possible in this article. Thanks!--AYousefzai (talk) 05:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Deleted comment
This is the place of a now deleted series of comments by a proselytizing user, so understand the following few comments in this context. I removed them on the grounds that they clearly violated WP:FORUM and as the article describing policy on talk pages suggests, perhaps that user would be better suited to his own blog.

- Without a doubt the above three sections by User:Nasireddin are inappropriate for the article as they are primarily unreferenced - the references presented are from primary sources - and are written in style that best be described as pontificating. On a talk page these comments by this user are taking up space unnecessarily and could very be in violation of the policy you mentioned WP:FORUM. I was biting my tongue unless that user moved these comments to the article itself. Supertouch (talk) 16:07, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- I agree and you should just remove it.--AYousefzai (talk) 16:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

The Picture On the Top of the Title
The picture which is on the top of the "Islam" title is the Arabic word of God. It will be better if that piccture was a Moon, which is the symbol of Islam. Becausethe religion pages in Wikipedia has their symbols but Islam has Arabic writing. Religion shouldn't have a language, if we want to be objective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.110.232.67 (talk) 19:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Islam is now the largest religion in the world
Could someone update the article to reflect as of 2009 Islam is now the number 1 religion in the world. As reported by fox news and AP Sunday, March 30, 2008 the Vatican confirms. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,343336,00.html

- That doesn't mean what you think it means. Islam (with all its sects/denominations) is greater than Catholicism, a sect/denomination of greater Christianity. The comparison doesn't very much make sense. --Ari (talk) 06:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
Islam in America
Why is there nothing on Islam in America? I have access to journals at my school containing information about it. How can I add to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rommette (talk • contribs) 19:47, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Actually a better place to add information would be in the Islam in the United States article. Regards-Shahab (talk) 09:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
