Added viewpoints of liberal and secular historians to maintain NPOV, as well as features distinguishing the Islamic and Biblical accounts of Noah. --Zeeshanhasan 20:44, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

You have this some "liberal movements in Islam" inserted almost everywhere in these articles, regardless of the topic. In most cases it seems this some "liberal movements in Islam" consists only you and your web site. Here you made the claim that some "liberal movements in Islam" believe that the Quran borrows the flood story from Sumerian mythology. I defy you to find me proof of this claim (other than your own web site). Which "liberal movement in Islam" has said that? Until you post the proof, I would remove that claim. You are inserting you own oneliner beliefs everywhere in all these articles by preceding the beliefs with 'some "liberal movements in Islam,"' it seems. Nice. OneGuy 11:45, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have heard that the prophet that this article is referring to (Nuh) can also be spelt Nua but on your site there is no reference to it. I would like to know why a qualified Re teacher would set a child homework that can not be found if nua is not a way of saying Nuh. As i know that this is a respectable and reliable site for infomation i want to know whether Nua is a true form of saying Nuh or whether the Re teacher was incorrect and has set homework with incorrect information to be researched. Thankyou for your time User:Cool chick needs Info

[edit] proposal to merge with noah

i propose we merge this into "Noah" for the following reasons:

1) it's the same person, whose name is only pronounced differently in different languages.

2) the biblical and quranic accounts of noah provide many similar facts which would best be seen in the context of "compare and contrast."

No! Noah and Nuh are best dealt with via two distinct articles. Merecat 08:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree; Two separate articles are less confusing. Tom Harrison ^Talk 10:59, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree that two different articles are better, but i dont support the notion of "<Arabic name>" is somehow a good name for the "Islamic view of x". "Nuh" is also the Arabic Jewish and Arabic Christian names for the same person, Muslims dont own the name. The correct tittle for this article is Islamic view of Noah, both articles reffer to the same historical person, only difference being that this article is focusing on the Islamic view. There are no solid arguements for naming this article after the Arabic version of the name. --Striver 07:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
