[edit] Overhaul

I am going to do a heavy overhaul of this page. Does anyone have any objections? ZaydHammoudeh 07:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move the Page

I also think this page should be moved. The name is misspelled in the title (Muhamamd). I have not seen this translation anywhere so I am more or less sure this a mistake. ZaydHammoudeh 07:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shi'a View

I think it seems kind of strange to use include the "Shi'a view" on him. If he is sunni, I think that says enough without saying that the shiat hold an unfavorable view of him. If we used that idea of a model, we would also have to saying the Ashar'i, Qadayani, etc. also hold unfavorable views. Similarly, we would need to say that this on all wikiarticles who dislikes that person. I think it is off the focus of the article and selective to include that.

Shi'a do not hold a negative view of all Sunnis, for example, Maududi is quite ok, and the guy that made the pro-Shi'a fatwa is great in Shi'a view. But MMK is a biased lier. --Striver 15:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Shia aren't biased against Sunnis. We just don't like it when people deliberatly mistranslate verses such as 5:55. Armyrifle 19:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

It should be stated here for the sake of completeness that I never said that Shia hate all Sunnis. To interpret my point like that and then to try reply to this is like building up a straw man and then knocking it down. The point is that if we write the shia view of every scholar, then we need to include the Sunni view on every shia scholar. Then for every Sunni scholar, we need to include the Qadyani view and the Ashar'i view and the Jabriyyah view etc. This is doesn't make sense. It is inserting a POV as Striver clearly stated in his post. ZaydHammoudeh 20:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
