[edit] repetition of other templates?

the template looks pretty much like a replica of Template:Islam with added sections from Template:Fiqh. is there a reason it's not made redundant by these pre-existing templates? ITAQALLAH 11:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

There are other sections as well not on that template. A navbox template has the advantage of being able to be placed in articles where an infobox template would be too big, or where there is a specialized infobox (i.e. Shia islam) where Template:Islam wouldn't make sense. Besides, many topics have infobox and navobx templates (like Template:Antisemitism and Template:Antisemitism topics, Template:Sikhism and Template:Sikhi, etc.)Yahel Guhan 04:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Islam and slavery

Itaqallah, you said in your edit summary, concur, we don't. but this is something time-restricted and not a significant part of Muslim life/culture. if you believe it is, please substantiate it on the talk page.

Firstly, how is it "time-restricted? Secondly, reguardless of whether it is a significant part of much of muslim life/culture today, it was so in the past, even as far back as the time of Muhammad, so in that sense, I think it is very relevant. Yahel Guhan 19:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

It's time-restricted in exactly the same way Christianity and slavery and Judaism and slavery were time-restricted (note their absence from their respective topic templates). Slavery was as prominent in pre-Islamic times as it was in post-Islamic times. The only difference was that jurists specified a few rules so as to limit their acquisition. In fact, I think the slavery link may be better placed under the law and jurisprudence category given its discussion in the legal literature. What do you think? ITAQALLAH 23:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

sure. place it there. Yahel Guhan 00:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protection request

Why? I don't immediately see why this template is protected (especially since Template:Islam is not), but could someone 1.) unprotect it, 2.) avoid the redirect for women and Islam to women in Islam, or 3.) both? I will not be watching this, so please post on my talk if I am needed. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] fix redirect - minor issue

The link in this template to Shi'a Islam redirects to Shia Islam. Because of this, the link is not "black" when viewing the template from the Shia Islam. Not a big deal, but something I usually like to fix. Thanks. DavidRF (talk) 15:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Link fix please

Hi would you be able to please change Islam by country (at the Islam and culture section) to List of countries by Muslim population but state as: Muslim demographics, thanks. HaireDunya (talk) 18:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
