		Islam is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion founded in the 7th century based on the religious text known as the Quran.
		Adherents of Islam are called Muslims (sometimes spelled in older English texts as "Moslem".) In some older English texts they are referred to as "Muhammadans" or "Mohammadan", but this term is not commonly used because Muslims find it offensive, as it implies that they worship Muhammad, which they do not.
		Islam assigns Jews and Christians (and certain other, much smaller, religions) the status of people of the Book on the basis of their monotheism, and their beliefs about God and the world.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Islam (Concept)
		Islam, an Arabic word which, since Mohammed's time, has acquired a religious and technical significance denoting the religion of Mohammed and of the Koran, just as Christianity denotes that of Jesus and of the Gospels, or Judaism that of Moses, the Prophets, and of the Old Testament.
		Historically, of course, to become a Muslim was to become a follower of Mohammed and of his religion; and it is very doubtful whether the earliest Muslims or followers of Mohammed, had any clear notion of the ethico-religious significance of the term, although its later theological development is entirely consistent and logical.
		Hence the Mohammedan theological axiom "Islam is with the tongue, and Iman is with the heart." According to the Hanafites (another of the four above-mentioned schools), however, no distinction is to be made between the two terms, as Iman, according to them, is essentially included in Islam.

	About OpenIslampedia - OpenIslampedia, the Open Encyclopedia of Islam
		It is figuratively said that the gates of ijtihad (independent reasoning, or the act of interpreting religious knowledge in Islam) were closed centuries ago.
		Since then, the production of religious knowledge in Islam has been considered the domain of a scholarly elite (that happens to be mostly male and, as of late, of an extremist and intolerant persuasion).
		Openislampedia will serve as a place to collect the efforts currently underway to force the gates of ijtihad open at a scale unimaginable before, and give substance to the Islamic precept that to practice religion is to become personally involved in the production of knowledge and the exercise of reason.

	Huston Smith: Introduction to The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is ironic that of the major faiths outside Christendom, Islam stands closest to the Judaeo-Christian West both geographically and religiously.
		Concomitantly, though, the Koran and Hadith, or authoritative Traditions that were instituted by Muhammad, abound in references, frequently veiled, to profound, metaphysical truths which the forms of Islam enfold and protect in the way husks protect and conceal their kernels.
		It is a remarkable feature of this new encyclopedia that it takes as its starting point that almost everything in Islam can be viewed in these two perspectives.

		At best, this site will represent a compendium of peer-reviewed knowledge about Islam that is freely accessible, consolidated, available in different languages (eventually), always open to improvement, and representative of the rich heritage and diversity of the religion.
		This is a time when it is crucial for Muslims to assume a larger ownership of the public discourse on Islam than the extremists within the religion and the critics outside it.
		OpenIslampedia can facilitate this by providing a safe online environment for Muslims of all kinds (as well as non-Muslims interested in Islam) to negotiate religious meaning or, at least, to settle on an objective middle ground that considers all sides of an issue and lets readers make their own interpretative decisions.
