WikiIslam is only a wiki and is biased. How can we trust its content?
WikiIslam’s focus on criticism of Islam does not necessarily make us unreliable. If you are looking for critical information on Christianity or Buddhism you would not ask the Pope or Dalai lama and you would not visit a pro-Christian/Buddhist website. There are countless individuals and websites out there which critique all forms of belief, but this does not make them unreliable or they are not generally labeled as hate mongers. Unfortunately this is not the case for sites and individuals who choose to critique Islam. This is through no fault of our own, but the bias of the individuals who write us off as unreliable without ever analyzing our content. In most cases it would simply mean that you will have to look elsewhere for the positive aspects of whatever you are researching, however we actually host articles by Muslims. A wiki is only as reliable as the users, and we aim to make our wiki as reliable and accurate as humanly possible. There is no reason whatsoever that a wiki cannot
Wikiislam is an Islamophobic and a hate website (although it claims to be critical of Islam) that was created in 2006 by “Faith Freedom International” for the purposes of “helping Muslims leave Islam”. It has been reported by several news sources including the Associated Press as being a website that shows a “one sided view of Islam” to make “Muslims look backward and stupid” whilst disguising itself as a website that solely “criticises” Islam.[1]
