[edit] Future plans

Investigate Wikipedia articles on Arab/Islamic history, assist in cleanup, expansion and removal of bias. For example Muawiyah I and Yazid I. It saddens me greatly that some people choose to use Wikipedia to promote sectarian trouble. I want to help stop this, and help make Wikipedia a place where people can read objective, balanced and accurate articles about the history of the Arabs, and Islam.

I would also like to add more of a secular perspective to Arab history. I am appalled by the idea that the only reason anyone would wish to learn about Arab history is for religious reasons.
