Clarification of Forum Rules

2. This is an Islamic forum, so any slander against Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala), the Prophets (peace be upon them), Sahabahs (companions of Prophet - May Allah be pleased with them) or noble scholars of Islam will not be tolerated.

3. Promoting non-Islamic/non-Sunni beliefs/website(s) by any mean i.e. signature, profile etc is PROHIBITED.

How does this forum define "slander" and "promoting"? Could you give some examples? I know that some forums are stricter than others in terms of what non-Muslims can/cannot say and I want to make sure I understand these limits before posting.

Thanks,
Shoes

welcome and it is nice to hear from you regarding clarification for these two:

1 - slander: any kind of insulting, abusive, hatred speech.
2 - promotion: plainly putting forward any kind of false beliefs/practices through posts, or posting website links, etc. If you want to discuss something, then you may do so in form a question: for example, do you believe Jesus is God? From there a discussion can start; once the discussion is started then you may bring relevant pieces in your defense.

3 - even though, we allow non-Muslims to discuss their faith, we do not allow useless ongoing, beating around the bush debates. hence, we may close the topics when we fell it has crossed the limit.

the line is very fine so we ask the members to be careful of this

sometime somethings may be allowed depending on the context of words or discussion. however, we have the right to delete, edit, close whatever falls under violation of rules.

I want to make it clear to you these rules do not apply only to non-Muslims; they also apply to deviant Muslim groups
