About Islamic Network

Blog Service Content Policy

2007-11-12T08:19:00-06:00

MuslimPad is a blogging service for the Muslim community in specific, but anyone can join and create a blog. Blogs are a form of individual self-expression, and therefore, the rules for blogs on MuslimPad are less stringent than for posts on the message board.

Here are the basic restrictions:

1. Denigration of God (Allah) or the Prophets (Muhammad and others) - you are of course free to disagree with/criticise Islam and/or Muslims
2. Illegal activities/copyright violations
3. Sexually explicit materials
4. Hateful/inciteful speech
5. Spamming

Please note that all blogs are the responsibility of the individual authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of Islamic Network. To report blogs which violate our rules, please email info@islamicnetwork.com (please cite specific posts and specific violations). Islamic Network reserves the right to determine if content violates a specific rule.

Forums Content Policy

2007-11-12T08:17:00-06:00

Islamic Networking is an actively interacting online community, and as such, we recognize that people do affect one another. Therefore, in an effort to create a unique culture which is conducive to our larger goals, our forum rules are a little more stringent in order to provide as many users with as pleasant and beneficial an experience as possible.

We are seeking to maintain a message board with the following qualities:

* An environment which encourages different people to join and interact
* An environment which encourages serious discussion or debate on issues related to Islam
* An environment which provides utility, in which people exchange information and network with one another
* An environment which provides social interaction, where people can just hang out or share their passions

We feel that some message boards get dragged in directons that would hurt the atmosphere of diversity, intelligence, and creativity we are offering. In order to create an atmosphere which strikes a balance incorporating all of the above qualities, we have set up some simple guidelines.

Basic Rules (along with the moderation codes which accompany their violation):

Spamming results in an immediate ban and deletion of all posts. (Spam)
Denigration of God (Allah) or the Prophets (Muhammad and others) is not allowed. (Blasphemy) You are of course free to disagree with or criticise Islam and/or Muslims.
Personal attacks against other board members are not allowed. (PA)
Profanity as well as obscenity are not allowed. (Content)
Cross-gender relations must be respectable and not contain flirtatious elements. (GR)
Illegal activities or incitement to engage in illegal activities are not allowed. (Illegal)
Off-topic posts, excessive linking, copy/pasting, 1-1 conversations, or posts with one-word responses like “LOL” are not allowed. (OT)

User Accounts:

Accounts are not deleted - you can stop using it at any time.
Usernames are not modified except in extreme cases - take your time in choosing one.
Users do not have the ability to edit/delete posts after 1 hour - think before you post.

Security:

You must be 13 years or older to post.
Excessive personal information (yours or someone else’s) should not be posted (home addresses, phone numbers, etc.).

Moderation:

All forum postings are the responsibility of the individual members and do not necessarily reflect the views of Islamic Network.
To report posts which violate our rules, please email info@islamicnetwork.com.
Interpretation and implementation of all rules are the final decision of the moderators and are not subject to debate.
Breaking the rules will result in temporary or permanent bans.

IN Merger

2006-03-01T19:13:44-06:00

Islamic Network has officially merged with IlmQuest Media Company and Arees Institute, and alhamdulillah has the key elements ready to become a major Islamic organization and company. With a rapidly growing web presence, a multimedia company which will be revamped to offer the best content in the highest quality formats, and an institute which seeks to push the level of Islamic education to the next level, IN will inshallah be able to have more of a global reach than ever. The board has been restructured, a lot of professional staff have joined, (including legal, financial, technical, and artistic), and the many components of the new company are set to be launched with heavy promotions (only Arees has been locally promoted to date while IlmQuest has done grass roots distribution). And don’t forget the browser is coming…

Site Launch

2005-08-15T20:09:50-06:00

Islamic Network purports to be THE online Islamic site with a homepage loaded with references as well as fresh original content. The Islamic Network homepage is also the place to download Islamic Browser, which features local Adhan Calling (call for prayer), porn-blocking capabilities, as well as a built-in Quran and Hadith Browser function.

Islamic Browser (Beta) Release

2005-06-01T20:05:02-06:00

Well, despite scrambling around frenziedly trying to make our deadline, we had some unforeseen delays here and abroad. But rather than release a premature product, we’re going to go ahead and finish it up proper (one of the astronauts might die, and it isn’t worth the risk). This might take another 2 months (grooooan) but should be well worth the wait. (Hey, even big companies like Microsoft do it. ) Since we have a few delays anyway, we’re hoping to catch the release of Firefox 1.1 as well
