[edit] Spelling of Resalatu Alghufran.
The wiki page Bangsian_Fantasy has the spelling of Resalatu Alghufran as either Risalatu'l Ghufran or Resalatu Alghufran but not Resalt Alghufran as it is in the last sentence of the third paragraph of the main article i.e. we have has it as , or even inspired, by Abul-'Ala's Resalt Alghufran. I'm an English speaker only - please confirm that I can change the spelling of this translated book title to the most commonly used form which seems to be is, Resalatu Alghufran.

- I've corrected it, though still unhappy with the reference to Dante I guess it can stay to be internally consistent with the other Wikipages.Ttiotsw 09:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Atheism
I've read his work extensively and have found no evidence of any out-right atheism. He does attack religion, especially Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, but never denies the existence of a deity. I have therefore changed "atheism" to "apparent lack of belief in revealed religions". Also, I changed "extremely rare" to "rare", because there are other famous figures in that period who were atheist or non-religious, such as Al-Razi and Ibn Al-Rawandi.
This is ridiculous. Please remove atheism quote. There is not a single shred of evidence that he was atheist and not a muslim. Attacks on practised religion are very common in islamic poetry throughout ages. 86.143.145.37 21:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of Quotes.
A low volume IP editor http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=194.126.31.20 removed the quotes back in 30th October. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al-Ma%27arri&diff=84610226&oldid=84392005 They have done this elsewhere (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adam_and_Eve&diff=prev&oldid=81615103 and it was reverted). I thus call it vandalism unless comeone can tell me why it can't stay.Ttiotsw 12:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
