Welcome!

Hello Angry Ayrab, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Hi there, I noticed your question about table of contents. But it seems you already know the answer to it. The contents are placed in automatically when more than 3 headings are created, and it appears after the first section. But if you want to create a table of contents manually and put it where you want, use : __TOC__ . If you don't want a table of contents to be created use: __NOTOC__ . On another note, did you know there was an Islamic WikiProject, perhaps you can help out there. Either way, let me welcome you to Wikipedia! All the best and happy editing :-) Akamad 10:27, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you when you made an edit and it appeared here: Special:Contributions/newbies, that page shows edits made by relative newbies. And by the way, you can never ask too many questions, as it says on the top of my talk page, I am always willing to help. If you need anything at all, or just want to say hi, you know where to find me :-) Akamad 10:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, about the TOC, it appears before the first heading. - Akamad 10:57, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Conversion to Islam

Asalamu Alykum, Congratulations on your conversion and mashallah you seem like a salafi brother. I am 19, male, going to UNM and as you can tell, also a muslim. Although I had the advantage of being raised Muslim I am very impressed by your coversion. Good Job on the Halal meat thanksgiving but, you might already now, there are lots of fatwas saying that the food here is still of the people of the book and the main debate ppl were worried about was the way the animals are killed. Well anyway sorry if that didn't make any sense its 4am here and I am tired but I would like to start editing with you soon. Salam and Jazaka Allahu Alkhayer for the good guild logo.

In response to your comment of my talk page...

Wa alykum asalam. Your advice is appreciated. Although I have heard of the many rulings regarding the consumption of food slaughtered by other People of the Book, my ultimate objective is still to eat the traditional halal meat. If you need any help with articles as a new Wikipedian, go ahead an send me a message on my talk page. joturner 13:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are listed under the Muslim Wikipedians category, but not as a member of the Muslim Guild. Feel free to add your name to the list. Btw, I am also a convert to Islam. --JuanMuslim ^1m 15:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Islam

Hi there, The Islam template is used in all Islam related articles and it carries an image of the mosque, if you take a close look at the other religion templates they all carry an icon that actually symbolizes the particular religion. The question is what symbolizes Islam? As a muslim you would agree that we cannot Idolize any symbol as sacred as it would be Shirk. So the next question is what kind of icon would correctly represent Islam and Muslims? It is undoubtedly the Shahada, because without it we wouldn't be muslims. So I have suggested to change the template image from a masjid to a Masjid with the Shahada in it. In order to have the image in the template I need build some consense, could you kindly visit the talk page (Template_talk:Islam) and make your suggestion, lets have the template change so it will correctly represent Islam. (You do not have to support it if you dont like it). thanks in advance. «₪Mÿš†íc₪» ^(T) 12:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Care to comment?

There is a discussion on Roles of non-combatant State and non-State actors in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict talkpage about the inclusion of detail for Israel. I am of the view that Israel should be included but the detail is being continually removed by User:Tewfik.

Tewfik's argument is what he considers the illegality of Hezbollah under UN 1559. How this has a bearing on a balanced representation of aid to the combatants is never made clear. Tewfik has not removed recent requests of arms sales to Israel such as jet fuel and GBU-28's but removed the history of such arms shipments. I believe he is pushing the POV that aid to Israel is only in response to the current crisis or the illegality of Hezbollah under 1559. US aid to Israel is in fact a long standing agreement responsible for the size and makeup of the IDF. Without the aid they would not have a military capable of engaging in conflict. This is a question of balance in the article and if you can take a look and support my position (was working under 82.29.227.171) that would be great. RandomGalen 17:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic Barnstar Award

Please offer your opinion, vote, or whatever about your choice for the image to be used with the Islamic Barnstar Award at the Barnstar proposals page. Although there is consensus for the concept of an Islamic Barnstar Award, some editors would like to change the image for the award. I was just thinking you should be aware of this discussion because you have contributed to Islamic-related articles, received the Islamic Barnstar Award, or have contributed to the Islam-related Wikiprojects, etc.--JuanMuslim ^1m 16:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Info on Islamophobic group

Hello,

What follows are the sentiments, expressed in their own words, and in the 'protest signs', of the obscure, very small, but very vocal 'activist group' known as "Protest Warrior".

"What's becoming clear is how the religion of Islam is addicted to war and mayhem. Not a radical minority, not a rogue sect, but its very essence is about submission and sacrifice and proving your worth by worshipping death in this life to gain a paradise of orgies and drunkenness. Their entire history is of warfare, and any accomplishments of their so-called Golden Age has been proven to be merely parasitic off the cultures they've conquered and reduced to dhimmi servitude. That every country under sharia is corrupt, belligerent, desolate and barbaric obviously gives them no pause, except to constantly drive them into further psychotic rage as they refuse to ever accept any responsibility for their conditions. They are akin to the powers in Orwell's 1984; there must always be an enemy. It's no surprise that women are treated like property in these countries as that's the only way Muslim men can feed their egos, to dominate others rather than ever actually produce something."

Kfir Alfia and Alan Lipton, founders of "Protest Warrior"

Their 'protest signs'...

Signs

I thought you might be interested in this group's sentiments. They are currently very actively editing their own article on Wiki and there is a lot of 'group think'. Perhaps you might want to become involved in the editing and discussion process on that page. If you do, please don't vandalize, and try to remain civil. Should you not want to involve youself, please forgive my intrusion.
