[edit] "Islamic scholar"

While he did apparently teach at an Islamic center, what exactly qualifies him to be included in the Muslim scholars category? I am not that familiar with him but from what I have read here his formal education was in biology, not religion. MezzoMezzo 02:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ali Al-Tamimi or Ali Al-Timimi?

News reports seem to use the two spellings interchangeably. It does appear that the "Al" should be capitalized, which makes sense for the last name of an American. The website altimimi.org uses the "Al-Timimi" spelling exclusively; it seems to me like the "Al-Tamimi" spelling is used more in more negative news reports — but that's not to say it's the wrong spelling. In any event, the page should move somewhere more correct: Ali Al-Tamimi or Ali Al-Timimi. Discuss. --Quuxplusone 21:51, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I have no real opinion. I just wrote the article as it was a red link on Current Events. Evil Monkey∴Hello 00:27, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Court records spell the name Al-Timimi.

The man's name is Tamimi and the "al" should not be capitalized. I've always seen/heard him reffered to as Tam. and the al is never capitalized in any arabic to english writing. On the other hand it doesnt make much difference... freestylefrappe 22:23, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. violet/riga (t) 18:51, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

In the name of God the Merciful The Compassionate

  Hello. Peace be upon on the followers of guidance. 

You find in this case, as well as some others, that he was targetted and discriminated against. Normally, a crime occurs, and then the person is charged with the crime that he did. The person is targetted, and then a crime is searched for on the person. A person or group should not be targetted, and charged because of animosity and zealousness against the person or the group, but the whole population must be looked at equally, and people charged according to the seriousness of their crimes.

He believes in the afterlife and that all grudges will be settled in front of God in the afterlife. He believes that people should not transgress and in this world's life, and that people should keep patient until the afterlife. That is what he tells others. He teaches the congregation about the greatness of the afterlife. He teaches them to keep it in mind, and that the justice will occur on the day of judgement, where He God alone will repay everyone their just due.

Islam is the belief in One God, and obeying the commands of God, and abstaining from His prohibitions. The wrongs that people do are not from the teachings of Islam, but the actions of a few extremists that do not reflect the teachings of Islam or its followers. These wrong doers do not follow the imams and the scholars, but follow their own thinking and ideologies.

Muslims believe in the afterlife and keep in mind that everyone will be in front of God on the day of judgement, and He will repay everyone for their deeds. With this belief, we keep patient and tolerant of others, that might have done wrong. Everyone will have to meet their Creator, and He will give people what they deserve. The life of this world is short compared to the next life, which is eternal. God will give the full, complete and just accounting.

Do you have a point related to the article? or are u just upset because he was arrested...freestylefrappe 18:58, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

How does being found guilty of inciting terrorism with little evidence make one a convicted terrorist? No terrorist act was committed. Even the judge felt the federal sentencing guidelines were draconian. Including "convited terrorist" in the introduction makes this article non neutral. Why is removing this described as vandalism? Without an explanation, I will have to dispute NPOV. freestylefrappe, if you disagree with some content, please do not continue to mark it as vandalism. --Tamil 04:24, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Paradox

Weird that the article says he was convicted for terrorism and yet again describing him as being against terrorism in private and public. Clearly something is wrong.The Sphinx (talk) 23:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
