Hello fellow Wikipedians,
== Conversion to Islam ==
The section of conversion to Islam should not belong here. Zoroastrians are not people of book in Islam. There are 4 books in Islam: Tevrat+ Zebur(Old testament), İncil(new testatemnt); and Quran. Zoroastrians are seen as mushriks (people who deny the unity of God) by Islam. burgaz 16:35, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Statement "It is thought that French resistance to this lead to the rejection of Turkey in the 2005 European Referendum." makes no sense. The French were not voting on Turkey, or anything to do with Turkey.. they were voting on a Written Constitution to the European Union, but I think I understand what you mean so will re-phrase it. --[[User:Irishpunktom|Irishpunktom]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Irishpunktom|talk]]</sup> 17:34, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

It appears that there is an edit war between supporters of islam and those who are in [[Opposition_to_Islam]] called [[Islamophobic]] by the supporters of Islam.
Many edits have been removing explaintions on what rules may compell a person to convert to islam. This includes links explaining islam to believers including the ruling on whether a Muslim man may marry a non-Muslim woman and vice versa [http://islamqa.com/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=21380&dgn=4] 7:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC-5)


== Arabization ==
Some writers believe:


Arabization has not to do a lot with Islamization. Islam is a religion and arabs are a people, ethnicity. If no-one opposes with foundation, I'd remove the completely about Arabization. [[User:Paradise Chronicle|Paradise Chronicle]] ([[User talk:Paradise Chronicle|talk]]) 20:49, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
Personally I'm not even sure this article should exist since it seems like little more than a stomping-ground for various islamophobes, but if it's going to exist than those of you who are responsible for its upkeep should at least try to not include blatant pov and factual inaccuracies. I'm not even going to touch on the other paragraphs, but just overlooking the fourth one down.


==Different from "spread of Islam"?==
#"During the Ottoman rule of Balkans, many christians were forced conversion to Islam." Asides from horrible English, this statement is blatantly false: conversion in the Balkans was not forced; otherwise you would have seen far more wide-spread conversion throughout Ottoman domains.
How do we distinguish the content of this article "[[Islamization]]" with the content at "[[spread of Islam]]"?'''[[User:Vice regent|VR]]''' <sub>[[User talk:Vice regent|'''<span style="color:Black;">talk</span>''']]</sub> 15:20, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
#"To ensure their rule and domination over the indigenous Christian Serbian and Croat populations, the Turks forcefully converted the local policy under a policy of Turkification or Islamicization..." Complete lack of knowledge regarding the nature of the 15th century Ottoman state; this "historiography" seems like the juvenile rabble of an adolescent nationalist.
:{{u|Eperoton}} should we merge this article with [[Spread of Islam]]?'''[[User:Vice regent|VR]]''' <sub>[[User talk:Vice regent|talk]]</sub> 02:06, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
#"...or applied intense pressure which was tantamount to forced conversion to create Islamicized Slavs (Serbo-Croatian: po-Turcenaci), the ancestors of the present-day Bosnian Slavic Muslims (Bosniaks)." What intense pressure? Who says it’s intense? Tantamount to forced conversion according to whom? What about the large segment of the Bosnian population that didn't convert? Complete disregard of modern knowledge about the etymology of "Poturi". Ridiculous and primitive disregard for differences in the concept of nationality between the middle ages and modern times.
:Apologies for bringing back this discussion to life. I definitely agree that a merger or deletion should be performed. [[User:Toomuchcuriosity|<sub>too_much </sub>curiosity]] ([[User talk:Toomuchcuriosity|talk]]) 05:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
== Undue recentism ==


The section on history gives undue weight to recent trends like [[Islamization of the Gaza Strip]]. I skimmed through the relevant chapter on "Conversion to Islam in Theological and Historical Perspectives" in [https://www.google.ca/books/edition/The_Oxford_Handbook_of_Religious_Convers/UEzgAgAAQBAJ this book] and it doesn't even mention Gaza. It gives more weight to conversions in Central, South and Southeast Asia, Africa and the Balkans. That's what this article should focus on instead.'''[[User:Vice regent|VR]]''' <sub>[[User talk:Vice regent|talk]]</sub> 01:10, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Basically the paragraph is a joke, and every sentence contains at least two disputable components. I suggest those of you who are interested in this page remove it completely if you want to maintain any sense of credibility it has. [[User:Live Forever|Live Forever]] 17:44, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


== Maybe this page should be deleted (or merge)? ==


I got to this page through a link while reading about the history of Afghanistan. I expected it to be about the historical spread of Islam, but this content is covered by the [[Spread of Islam]] page. The content on this is really disjointed--why are Arabization and the rise of Islamic groups on the same page? Some of the content also seems to violate [[NPOV]]. I wonder if it makes sense to delete the page and redirect any [[Islamization]] links to the [[Spread of Islam]] page or merge this page with the latter. Seems like many others share these thoughts. Please share your thoughts. [[User:Toomuchcuriosity|<sub>too_much </sub>curiosity]] ([[User talk:Toomuchcuriosity|talk]]) 05:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi, The article was reeking of Islamophobia and I have made some unbiased changes. There was incorrect information given on the concept of 'Jizya' and self-made theories on the growth of Islam, such as the uneducated statement of 'high reproduction rates among muslims is the cause for growth of Islam.' Most of the theories described were penned by European orientalists during the Imperialist age to discourage the growth of Islam, and have now been unanimously rejected. I will provide citation to the new information handed in in a few days time. Besides this, may I inform everyone that the term Islamization itself is a derogatory term used by 19th century Orientalists. However I have not deleted the article. The person who wrote the article is clearly an islamophobe if he is sourcing his information from Le Pen! --Neonbulb.

== Orientalism ==


A note on this pragraph:

''Orientalists are attributed with the formulation that the successful conversion of non-Muslims to Islam was due to compulsion and "ill treatment of non-Muslims", such as by oppressive and discriminatory tax codes. Muslims point out that Islamic law does not mandate conversion to Islam, but that non-Muslims in an Islamic state are expected to pay a special tax, "Jizya" in return for protection by the state and right to refuse military duty during emergencies. In contrast, Muslims do not have to pay Jizya, but rather "Zakat" (a religious tax directed to charity rather than the state) and are required to defend the country during foreign invasions. Conversely, a tax code that warrants different tax classifications for citizens based on religious affiliations, a concept alien to modern Western democracies, leaves the Islamic system, vulnerable to presentist criticism. An alternative hypothesis forwarded is the gradual assimilation of Islamic culture by populaces in lands newly conquered by Muslims or demographically transformed through mass Muslim migration putting forward a gentler image of conversion through acculturation, religious education programs in newly conquered lands and marriages among Muslim conquerors/migrants and the local people.''

This is from my point of view a very weired definition which I have never heard before. Who wrote that and could the person provide reference? I have studied Middle Eastern Politics for years, including the Edward Said Orientalism controversy but this is neither referenced, nor does it sound academic to me at all.
--[[User:Arabist|Arabist]] 10:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

A side note to the ever present claim of Islamaphobia..one should take a look at the entrys for Americanization and westerniaztion..those articles DO NOT begin with a denouncment Of anti-american-phobia..
In short this article has (like many Islamic article) been politically edited, i would suggest removing the first two parts (chap 1 and 1.1 ).

== India ==

A paragraph on Islamization in India in the past and present and its effects would be nice. [[User:Zulfikkur|Zulfikkur]] 04:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

==Hundreds of "citation needed" tags.==

These tags make the article unreadable and amount to vandalism by someone who seems to disagree witht he decision not to delete the article. Don't be a sore loser. If you think something is wrong, talk about here, don't make the article unreadable. I am also removing the "factual dispute header" because it refers to the talk page, but there are currently no factual disputes discussed here (all of the factually disputed items have been removed)[[User:Grz77|Grz77]]

19:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
:Not exactly "hundreds" but there are quite a few unsourced statements. I didn't add the original requests for citations but I can see why they are there. I have reverted. Perhaps we should just use the 'articles with unsourced statements' tag. --[[User:LeeHunter|Lee Hunter]] 22:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

::That will also work, I am making the change. I have never seen an article with a 'fact' tag after almost every sentence. It makes it ugly and unreadable. [[User:Grz77|Grz77]] 00:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
==Changes==

Hopefully this article is more useful now, still needs a lot of work but I hope I have raised the bar for quality and set the tone at the least.--[[User:Tigeroo|Tigeroo]] 09:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I would wish that someone from the Wiki team decides to delete some of the unreferenced text entirely. Much of this stuff is opinion rather than fact. Removing it would be more beneficial than anthing - the only reason I am not doing it is that I don't want to be told that I am vandalising the article.
--[[User:Arabist|Arabist]] 10:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
:I thought your edits today were a big improvement and I'd encourage you to go ahead and delete stuff that's not supported by citations. --[[User:LeeHunter|Lee Hunter]] 18:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Lee Hunter,
thanks for your welcome message and your encouraging words... Will certainly continue working on this and other related sites.
Greetings, --[[User:Arabist|Arabist]] 19:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

== Reference, please note ==

Could those of you who edit or edited parts of the article please make sure that you provide references for your texts. Please also ensure that references work - I have found several ones on this page which either all refer to the same page number (in which case you have to change the "name" of the reference slightly in order to refer to different pages in the same book), or simply to a book without any page numbers, which is slightly useless because in this way everyone can reference any statement by refering to a book which nobody knows and where nobody can verify the content. It is really important in an article about such a politiced topic to stick to certain rules.
Greetings,--[[User:Arabist|Arabist]] 13:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
==Merged with [[Spread of Islam]]==
Please note that a major chunk of this article has been merged with the article [[Spread of Islam]]. The article is left to deal with the neologism and increased observances of existing communities.--[[User:Tigeroo|Tigeroo]] ([[User talk:Tigeroo|talk]]) 13:28, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

== Weasel Words ==

== No detrimental effects? ==

Although it is true that islamification / islamisation has consistently resulted in overreactions from conservatives and christians, this article mentions absolutely nothing about the perceived downsides of islamisation. Additionally, it treats it as purely an intra-islamic idea, which is almost entirely the opposite of what the average person thinks of when they hear the word.

This article simply seems to suffer from the idea that you should remain completely neutral, instead of pointing out both the good (greater unity, greater social order, and perhaps increased cultural vigor) and the bad (violence, non-extremist support for islamisation as opposed to solely extremist groups, and the problems of western, far eastern, and african governments in finding ways to accommodate islamisation without losing their own values). <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.141.211.87|67.141.211.87]] ([[User talk:67.141.211.87|talk]]) 22:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==A good model==

A good model for what this article might become is [[Christianization]]. Certainly, as it stands, it is whollly inadewuate, an embarrassment to Wikipedia.[[User:Historicist|Historicist]] ([[User talk:Historicist|talk]]) 23:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

==Nothing good in this world==

The articles doesn't shows that [[islam]]ization never made good things, in this world. Poverty, corruption, violence ever became bigger, not smaller, after islamization. See the case of Iran. In 1977, before the [[Islamic Revolution]], average [[Iran]]ian was richer than an average [[Portuguese]]. Today, average Iranian is more than three times poorer than a Portuguese. And [[Portugal]] hasn't any oil.[[User:Agre22|Agre22]] ([[User talk:Agre22|talk]]) 15:35, 26 December 2009 (UTC)agre22

== Citation needed ==

As stated in previous discussions, many statements lack citations. This is problematic in the "Modern Day" section as these un-sourced statements suggest that contemporary revival of Islam is fueled by fundamental/radical Islamic beliefs. I've added additional citation tags for statements that suggest such strong theories with sources. I invite the community to find reliable sources to reference those statements. Otherwise, I will plan to remove such statements if no sources could be found. [[User:Djrun|Djrun]] ([[User talk:Djrun|talk]]) 18:29, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

== Premodern vs. Modern Islamization, Unfortunate Scholarship, and Talibanization ==

This article (and Wikipedia more generally) has two notions of Islamization: (1) The process by which a non-Muslim society becomes Muslim and (2) The process by which a Muslim society acquires Muslim leadership and policies, often with a [[postcolonial]] undercurrent. (Contrast this with the one notion of [[Christianization]]: The process by which a non-Christian society becomes Christian. The notion parallel to (2) is in fact manifest in [[Francoist_Spain#Catholicism|Franco's Spain]] and [[Russian_Orthodox_Church#Post-Soviet_recovery_and_problems|Post-Soviet Russia]], but is never referenced as "Christianization.") It's the difference between the Islamization of a populace and the Islamization of a regime. The former is a process which has not taken place to any significant degree since the height of the [[Ottoman empire]] in the [[Balkans]]. The latter is a largely postcolonial process with roots in Arab dissidence against the Ottoman empire and later the French and British empires. Arguably, the two processes meet in the relatively recent expansion of Islam over and beyond the [[Sahara]], in competition with [[Christianity]] to replace Africa's native religious beliefs such as [[animism]] and [[shamanism]]. The causes, etiologies, and historiographies of these two processes, aside from the unique situation in Africa, are '''highly''' distinct. However, it is unfortunately the case that much scholarship and popular regard does not care to draw a careful distinction. Adding to the confusion, a distinction between (1) and (2) did not exist in the era of [[cuius regio, eius religio]], i.e. all of pre-modernity including almost all of Muslim expansion.

([[WP:OR]], obviously.) I believe the carelessness has some rather straightforward explanations. First, apart from the episodes in Iberia and the Balkans, the Western academy and to a much more perfect extent Western ''people'' have shown triflingly little interest in the original spread of Islam (these two are not coincidentally the only major areas that have experienced unilateral de-Islamization), shortchanging the utility of notion (1) above. Second, the presumption in the West is that governments are secular (i.e. "cuius regio, eius religio" is pre-discursively rejected), which can be interpreted as a mild manifestation of Western [[ethnocentrism]]. My position is that "Islamization" is best used in parallel to "Christianization," and not as an unreflective [[lexicography|lexicographic]] fall-back in the face of the necessity for a word describing (2) above by the spread of [[Islamism]].

Of course, these sentiments are not reflected in word usage in [[Anglophone]] society at large, but that is because Anglophone society is confused about Islam, especially political Islam, and not because it has better plans for the lexicon. [[Talibanization]] is a neologism that clearly identifies only process (2). However, it still carries with it strong connotations of the political developments in Afghanistan/Pakistan, very plausibly making it unfit as a general-purpose term for that process. Consequently, despite my position on "Religionization" terms, there are no strongly forthcoming contenders for relabeling notion (2). Wikipedia is a place meant to reflect human knowledge at large. It is clear, however, that the English Wikipedia suffers from various cultural confusions, as is to be expected from any group of people drawing their heritage from a small slice of history. It is highly unfortunate that these confusions afflict the terminology itself, as article titles do not provide a flexible ground for cultural commentary. So it is clear upon reflection that Wikipedia is confused. But because Anglophone "knowledge" is confused as well, it is not inappropriate for Wikipedia to reflect that confusion. Hopefully, Anglophones can reach greater understandings of ancient and modern Islam in the near future.

: I do believe, however, that there is a path out of this quandary, predicated on using a different construction.

On way or another, at just 16 actual references, once you've stripped out the unsourced stuff, there's not really a great to actually merge.

Arabization

[edit]

Arabization has not to do a lot with Islamization. Islam is a religion and arabs are a people, ethnicity. If no-one opposes with foundation, I'd remove the completely about Arabization. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:49, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Different from "spread of Islam"?

[edit]

How do we distinguish the content of this article "Islamization" with the content at "spread of Islam"?VR talk 15:20, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eperoton should we merge this article with Spread of Islam?VR talk 02:06, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for bringing back this discussion to life. I definitely agree that a merger or deletion should be performed. too_much curiosity (talk) 05:09, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Undue recentism

[edit]

The section on history gives undue weight to recent trends like Islamization of the Gaza Strip. I skimmed through the relevant chapter on "Conversion to Islam in Theological and Historical Perspectives" in this book and it doesn't even mention Gaza. It gives more weight to conversions in Central, South and Southeast Asia, Africa and the Balkans. That's what this article should focus on instead.VR talk 01:10, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this page should be deleted (or merge)?

[edit]

I got to this page through a link while reading about the history of Afghanistan. I expected it to be about the historical spread of Islam, but this content is covered by the Spread of Islam page. The content on this is really disjointed--why are Arabization and the rise of Islamic groups on the same page? Some of the content also seems to violate NPOV. I wonder if it makes sense to delete the page and redirect any Islamization links to the Spread of Islam page or merge this page with the latter. Seems like many others share these thoughts. Please share your thoughts. too_much curiosity (talk) 05:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, maybe. At the moment is a terrible mixture of unsourced material and unbalanced sourcing. On way or another, at just 16 actual references, once you've stripped out the unsourced stuff, there's not really a great to actually merge. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:20, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Toomuchcuriosity: I've either copied or rehomed all of the material that was present here either at Spread of Islam or Talibanization, so, pending consensus here, we are clear to turn this target into a redirect. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:01, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Iskandar323 Thank you so much for doing the heavy lifting!! Really appreciate it :)
