FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
unmoderated group talk.religion.islam

Newsgroups line:
talk.religion.islam Unmoderated scholarly discussion of religion of Islam.

Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 12 July 1994.

This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting
questions only contact rdip...@qualcomm.com. For questions about the
proposed group contact Basalat Ali Raja <gwy...@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.


CHARTER (Proponent)

For the discussion pertaining to the theological aspects of Islam as a
religion, as opposed to the cultural or sociological aspects. It
should serve as a forum for:

[1] To increase the understanding of the readers about the Quran, the
Hadith and the Sunnah of the Prophet.

[2] As a base for discussions about comparitive religions with regards
to Islam.

[3] As a forum for discussions of various mystical systems pertaining
to Islam and the validity (or lack thereof) of such systems.

Although this newsgroup is unmoderated, it is hoped that the
participants will carry out discussions in a scholarly and
civilized tone.


It is felt by several people that it is necessary that Usenet have a
newsgroup specifically for the discussion of Islam that is not
moderated and hence cannot be controlled by anyone. Over the past few
months, people seem to have forgotten that newsgroups are intended for
discussions, and not for fighting over control over who controls that
particular forum. It is hoped that this newsgroup will help rectify
that situation. The only legitimate argument against the creation of
this newsgroup is that it will propogate flames. Unfortunately, given
the large number of newsgroups already available, it is already
impossible to control this. Furthermore, from its earliest inception,
Islam itself has spoken out against censorship and supported freedom
of speech. During the days of the Caliphate of Ali, the Kharijites
used to abuse the Caliph openly and threaten him with murder. But when
some of them were arrested for these offences, Ali set them free and
told his officers: "As Long as they do not actually perpetrate
offences against the state, mere use of abusive language or threat of
use of force are not such offences for which they can be imprisoned."
The other argument being used, that the creation of this newsgroup is
intended to divide the Muslims is both laughable and hypocritical. It
is laughable because any single Muslim is able to read more than one
newgroup at a time. Furthermore, it is hypocritical because Muslims
on the net, as a whole, believe that a newsgroup is NOT a nation or a
group of people - this is exactly why most of them felt they had a
right to vote against SRIA and urged others to do the same.

FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
Unmoderated group talk.religion.islam

Newsgroups line:
talk.religion.islam All aspects of Islam and Muslim culture.

Votes must be received by 29:59:59 GMT, 2 May 1995.

This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting

questions only contact vote...@f10.facts.uky.edu. For questions about
the proposed groups contact Basalat Ali Raja <gwy...@halcyon.com>.


CHARTER

For the discussion pertaining to the theological aspects of Islam as a
religion, as opposed to the cultural or sociological aspects. It
should serve as a forum for:

[1] To increase the understanding of the readers about the Quran, the
Hadith and the Sunnah of the Prophet.

[2] As a base for discussions about comparitive religions with regards
to Islam.

[3] As a forum for discussions of various mystical systems pertaining
to Islam and the validity (or lack thereof) of such systems.

Although this newsgroup is unmoderated, it is hoped that the
participants will carry out discussions in a scholarly and civilized

tone. It is also very strongly recommended that this newsgroup not be
used to discuss personalities of various Muslims, but rather, Islam
itself.


COMMENT FROM THE PROPONENT

A year ago, or so, a newsgroup was created in the alt hierarchy,
alt.religion.islam. Its purpose was to provide an unmoderated forum
for discussions about Islam and serve as a testbed to prove or
disprove the viability of talk.religion.islam. It has been very
successful in this regard. There are some articles that are posted
there that are definitely not relevant and are off the subject;
nonetheless, the majority are quite pertinent. For this reason, I
think we should create a newsgroup in the Big Seven hierarchy.


HOW TO VOTE

Erase everything above the top "-=-=-=-" line and erase everything
below the bottom "-=-=-=-" line. Do not erase anything between these
lines and do not change the group names.

Give your name on the line that asks for it. For each group, place a YES or
NO in the brackets next to it to vote for or against it. If you don't want
to vote on a particular group, just leave the space blank. Don't worry
about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your reply
inserts.

Then mail the ballot to: vot...@f10.facts.uky.edu
Just Replying to this message should work, but check the "To:" line.
