[edit] Our Lady of Fatima is/is not Fatimah Az-Zahra?

I've looked around for academic sources that might link this two together. As such, I found no connection other than the fact that the name of the place of the former miracle is Fátima, Portugal (see its wiki page; note also that Fatimah Az-Zahra wasn't mentioned at all on that page). So if you can find any, please include it in reference, I would greatly appreciate it. As of now, I am removing the link again not out of spite, but because I think we can objectively agree that no evidence points to any link between the two yet. I would be happy to leave it in if you can cite a source to support it. Haya shiloh 02:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I do not have any online source, but there is such a conection made in the Muslim world, in Iran, they make a huge point of a supposed quote from her saying "i am the daughter of the prophet". --Striver 21:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it is odd to link the christian Fatima to the Muslim Fatima just because they have the same name. Fatima is common name in Portugal and Brazil, and might have been inherited from the times the Iberian peninsula was under Islamic rule.--A Jalil 22:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

As said, they support the conection on the above quote. --Striver 09:28, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Based on what I know about Virgin Mary apparitions throughout history, I still find the link somewhat tenuous. I've added "citation needed" tag to it to alert anybody who might know any online reference to put it in. Haya shiloh 20:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
