Contents 1 Second title 2 Proposed merger

[edit] Second title

Depending on the country of release, the title is also The Trouble with Islam Today, which is the title used on the author's own site [1], also verifiable on Amazon [2]. This easy-to-check and documented information was strangely suppressed twice:

• On 3 March 2006 by User:Ian Pitchford (diff)
• On 27 March 2006 by User:Pecher (diff)

As well as the quote:

That doesn't mean I refuse to be a Muslim, it simply means I refuse to join an army of automatons in the name of Allah.

The result of both suppression was a more inflamatory article, since both the preferred title and the quote display a relativized critic against ONE, CURRENT islam, whereas their suppression portrays an absolute critic against ANY AND ALL islam. I'm putting them back.

[edit] Proposed merger

This is a no-brainer, people! ... obviously the same book, and no reason for two articles ... decide which title to use per WP:MOS, and redirect the other one. —72.75.85.159 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
