	#: First of all the concept of [[Islamophobia]] is an invalid concept that has been rejected by many notable people. Never has there been a need to define a concept like Christianphobia or Hinduphobia. The criticism of a religion or any concept for that matter can be an intellectual pursuit depending on the quality of the criticism and does not imply a phobia. At WikiIslam we have strict quality standards that we strive to adhere to. We cite our sources, most of which are authentic Islamic sources themselves.

			* When you're trying to make a specific point, copy paste the link to the article you want the reader to see and quote the reference that we use. In many cases, you may see people making all kinds of excuses to reject the link because it is anti-Islamic or a hate site, or a wiki. When you make a link to an article on our site, as a preventative measure, tell the reader right away that they cannot reject the argument simply because its an anti-Islamic site. The references used are reliable. No one can expect to find criticism of Islam on a Muslim website.
