This is a repost for the call for a moderated newsgroup by
the name of soc.religion.islam. I apologize for the repost.
I did not know that according the new rules, one was supposed
to post to news.announce.newgroups first. I am remedying
that oversight. Following is the pertinent information.
Please note that the scheduled date for call for votes has
been moved to Oct. 10th, 1989.
Proposed newsgroup: soc.religion.islam (moderated)
Moderators:
(1) Behnam Sadeghi (oxy!sadeghi@csvax.caltech.edu)
(2) Naim Abdullah (naim@eecs.nwu.edu)
(3) Shari VanderSpek (shari@wpi.edu)
The proposed newsgroup is expected to contain discussions and
articles relevant to Islam that now take place all over many
newsgroups with only a periphral interest in the subject
material.
It is intended that the newsgroup be moderated, so as to
hopefully allow meaningful discussions to take place, as
opposed to degenerating into flame wars where personalities
take precedence over issues.
This is a call for discussion. If everything works out fine,
a call to votes will be made on Oct 10, 1989.
