The story of WK is very simple…
In the autumn of last year, several non-Muslim posters forum were banned from the Whyislam forum (on the basis of what were perceived as rather flimsy pretexts) after months of actively participating in its activities.
Since the banned Members didn’t want to lose the friendly contacts and the opportunities for discussion they had developed, they decided, half jokingly, to set up a new “sister site”, parallel to Whyislam, called “Whykuffar”.
While initially just a “Kuffar parody” of Whyislam, aimed at “dispelling misconceptions about the kuffar and developing a non-Muslim identity”, the forum developed quite positively, and attracted new Members; it was in fact joined by several Muslims, some of them also banned from Whyislam, some of them not.
Whykuffar’s objective is to allow for a discussion of religious issues, and in particular Muslim/non-Muslim dialogue, without the extensive restrictions and censorship experienced on Whyislam.
While the “interaction” on the forum can be very, very lively, the general atmosphere is quite good-humored, and several Muslims feel quite at home on it.
Except systematic, protracted personal insults, calls for violence and vandalism (which, unfortunately, we have also experienced), most anything goes on Whykuffar. However, due to the episodes just mentioned, membership and posting is by invitation only.
Access, however is perfectly free.
