The Christmas section is about Christmas, the Easter section is about Easter, and the Ramadan section...?

is about Islam?

Now, first of all, I am not a Muslim, so perhaps I should not be commenting, but it seems odd to me that the section on Religion and Spirituality is not subdivided, and all of the questions about Christianity, or Christianity vs. Atheism. Meanwhile, questions about Islam are all in the Ramadan section, which I would think is just about one particular holiday. It gives the appearance that Yahoo! does not consider Islam a real religion. I don't think this is Yahoo!'s real opinion, but it is how people are using Answers, and I think it is unfair.

Who would support a petition to have the Religion & Spirituality section broken down into subtopics like Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and of course, Islam, and having the Ramadan section become for questions specifically about the holiday and its traditions and observances?

    Thank you for your consideration. We really do appreciate it....but whenever I poast a question or try to answer one in the religion and spirituality section I usually get extremely hateful and unconclusive answers. Everyone there either answers based on a stereotype or twists the facts and does their utmost best to put Islam in the worst kind of light. It's sad but true and I find that putting up a question there has absolutely no benefit at all so i just don't bother anymore. I'm new to the Ramadan section but I've gone through previous answers and I find that here people actually bother to answer the question and you can get the answers from muslims who understand your question and can relate to it.

    Although I guess it would be beneficial for others to hear the truth from actual muslims and people who actually know the correct answers to certain questions as opposed to random people who will base any and all of their information on their own hate for Islam (although it is an undeserved and misinformed hate). I suppose it would be nice to have that option too.

    Anyways, thanx for your concern and if they do make a section for Islam please email me and let me know :)

    Because then they might have got to make a piece for each and every faith. Then after that you just might be complaining, why is not there a Baptist phase, we preserve getting attacked by means of Catholics.. blah blah blah. There are tons of Christian boards for Christians handiest wherein you'll safe haven your self from differing viewpoints. This is Y!A that's an open discussion board for anybody to reply questions. You whinge of being attacked, however then you definitely name atheists delusional, whilst while to name atheists delusional is just like the pot calling the solar black.

    You yourself said it; Ramadan is about Islam.

    Islam is an international Religion where folks from every walks of life comes for guidance. The non Muslims who post here are looking for guidance.

    I know, when I first came here I'm like they should have a Christianity, Islam, and Judaism section, not a holidays section.
