Penalties for violation range from suspension of a domain, to removal of the domain name from the TLD and blacklisting of the registrant, preventing them from being able to register any other names in the .ISLAM TLD. From time to time the .ISLAM PAC may need to be engaged to consult on potential enforcement activities.
