Please do not spam links to your website. I will be removing all the links to sunna.info. Zora 03:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
You made those assumptions because of my username <g>. I use a common Muslima name and edit Islam-related articles, so lots of people assume that I'm a Muslima. I am a woman (an older woman, a mom, which may be why I'm so bossy), but I'm editing the Islam articles just because I find the subject interesting. I often find myself in the middle of things, because while I am not a Muslim, I believe strongly in fairness to Muslims (all Muslims, not just one group). We've had a bad start, but I hope we can work together. Zora 18:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
The article is a mess. It's been worked over by Salafi editors for whom English is a second language, with occasional intrusions of text by anti-Salafi editors. Currently one anonymous anti-Salafi is replacing the article with a diatribe about Ibn Taymiya being a heretic.
Someone added a notice to the talk page for that article saying that the Arabic Wikipedia had a good article on Ibn Taymiya which had been a featured article. If that article is good, could you translate it into English? That would certainly help!
I would hope that the article gives both the pro and anti Salafi views a dispassionate hearing. Any non-Muslims reading the article should learn that he is not universally accepted. Zora 21:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Shafi3i, please review my posts at Talk:Tawhīd. I want to see your proof/references that the three aspects of Tawhid are limited to the Salafi madhab. And, please post your references at Talk:Tawhīd. I have already posted my own references and explanations. -- JuanMuslim 08:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
