quote:
Wikipedia etc. are not credible sources, it is an online encyclopedia which is not credible, it contains factual and unfounded claims which often can't be seperated. Amongst the non-Muslims, it is heavily criticised for its credibility and accuracy. As for us Muslims, we would likely be more concerned especially as it relates to info posted on Islam.
quote:
One thing I forgot (about wikipedia), I know a brother who tried to clean up the information on ad-da'watus-salafiyyah on the site, was able to post some good info. Later, it was deleted and replaced with nonsense by the moderator who is evidently from the shee'ah. Since the person was a senior moderator, she was able to remove all his info and replace it with lies. That's wikipedia, the online encyclopeida-blog.
