Germen (Talk | Contribs File:Nl small.gif) - I am sympathetic to the Mu'tazila and Quran only point of view. Sunni islamic bias in many articles is rampant and should be addressed, though.

Amibidhrohi

Quasipalm - I am a strict atheist and have an interest in keeping religious issues on Wikipedia fair, factual, and NPOV. I am not, however, an apologist for any religion.

Doge120 - I am a Lebanese who would like to raise awarness about Islam and present the correct point of view. There is serious bias in the terror article. Thank you freestylefrappe for introducing me to this guild.

Tεxτurε - Still finding my religion. Not sure what it will be.

Natalinasmpf - very interested in Muslim topics, considering that many of my daily friends are Muslim. I am Christian but very sympathetic to the Muslim faith.

Revolución (talk) - Atheist

Quadell - Buddhist, but very interested in Islam as one of the most important and misunderstood religions. Working to add lots of information in a NPOV voice.

User:Raphael1 - Unfortunately native english speakers mostly have a very bad attitude towards Islam these days because of political propaganda. Although I'm no Muslim myself, I will try to intercede for the muslim Wikipedians. To all Muslims: Please don't take offense personally. Stay calm and occasionally drop a word, which will hopefully wear away the stone in the end. Raphael1 01:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Angrynight - Self-described NPOV warrior, I doesn't matter that I'm a Muslim, I hate your opinion- whoever you are, and will wipe it clean from this encyclopedia. Hell, I hate my opinion.

Autoshade - My goal is respect and truth; accuracy AND precision.

-Maliki-sis

Ali - I will gladly help, thank you to all the members of the Muslim Guild.

cH3r@

SaadSaleem - Firm believer in the fact that the core of Islam is still intact that includes Quran and Sunnah, which came to us through ijma (consensus of sahaba) and tawatur (perpetual adherence of Ummah). Rest is quite debatable.

Torero 23:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC) - Firm believer that all religion, and Islam in particular, is fascism in principle. Stresses the idea that muslims may keep their fairytales to their own minds just as any other may do.[reply]

How's my editing so far? Call 1-800-2GOOD4U! - Newbie to Wiki, strong supporter of empirical evidence (yes, the Muslim tradition can be--and has traditionally been--extremely scientific, so let's work on losing the emotionally-charged nonsense), and extremely interested in this project. I also happen to be Muslim, but am so far unsure how our contributions will have any impact.
