This and that
:I wrote most of the criticism section and tried to stay clear of casting one side of the conservative community out into the cold. I suggest we use the term Islamism (or jihadism) for political Islam and use the word Islam as an umbrella for all practices of the religion. I’d like to hear what longtime editors and proprietors think on this issue. [[User:JasonNYC|JasonNYC]] 19:09, 29 September 2012 (EDT)

CMOS, the most widely used style guide, says to follow Merriam-Webster on matters of spelling. They give the Muslim holy book as "Koran." ''[http://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=Koran&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 American Heritage]'' does the same. [http://ajrarchive.org/article.asp?id=4239 AP style] is "Quran". "Qur'an" is the usage of religious tracts and seems a bit overly deferencial here.
There a page on violence in the Koran [http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm here]. Verse 9:5 is especially relevant since it was [http://www.fas.org/irp/world/para/docs/980223-fatwa.htm a Bin Laden favorite]. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 15:07, 10 March 2014 (EDT)
