[edit] Web site

Are we sure that the jamiatahlehadith website under the external links section is the same group as the one in the article? It sort of looks like a commercial link. MezzoMezzo 15:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC) Good observation. There is a profound difference between the subject of the page and the group promoted by the above mentioned link. Ahl al-Hadith is a term applied to individuals conforming to a description while the jamiah is a contempory organization utilizing the name whether or not they actually coform to the decription of that group.Supertouch (talk) 18:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Should we put together a section in the article making this distinction? MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

To be honest, it seems better to just avoid mention of site unless someone can provide a sound rationale for listing this web page. From what I can remember of the webpage, was that it gave info regarding this particular group as opposed to info regarding the more general Ahl al-Hadith. Were additional info provided regarding the subject of this article at this site I would say keep it even if it is the website of a contemporary group - but it doesn't.Supertouch (talk) 18:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
