For raising and discussing issues about Culture, Politics and Religion, not just copying and pasting of something from islamonline or where ever.
This is what Qatari, the site owner, said about it a couple of years ago;
1. This site is not a religious site. If you are intent on evangilising your religion, you are welcome to go and use them.
2. Do not cut and paste articles from other sites
3. This site is about Qatar and life about anywhere does involve religion. Reasonable discussion on religion (which leads to understanding) is fine. I suspect this involves questions like "Where can I find a church in Doha?", "What does the call for prayer mean and why do I hear it all the time?", "Why is the weekend on Friday here?", "How do I behave so that I don't offend local religious values?", etc.
4. We do discuss all sorts of things here and discussing some religion sometimes is fine and as long as you are not trying to offend, insult or directly evengelise.
5. If you still really really really only want to post about religion please ask for a blog on the site so you don't clog up the forums. Send me a priavate message if you would like a blog.
Don't get me wrong, I've participated in many of these cut'n'paste threads. I'd just prefer to see them in their own group so that eager participants could subscribe to the group and the rest could just ignore it.

I just wish it was enforced.
