[edit] Islam and anti-Semitism

This article is a mess. Violates WP:NOR, WP:NPOV. Sources are frequently misquoted. Note there is already an article on Islam and Judaism that covers the interaction of the two faiths and several articles that discuss the treatment of Jews in individual Islamic countries. Delete. Javadane 17:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Note I'd like to add that Bernard lewis says( page 85, Jews of Islam): "In Islamic society hostility to the Jew is non-theological. It is not related to any specific Islamic doctorine, nor to any specific circumstance in Islamic sacred history. " --Aminz 06:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete can probably never be NPOV. --Pboyd04 19:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Any relevant sections should be incorporated into Islam and Judaism (but not wholesale merged). Calwatch 20:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Probably 25% of this article can be rescued and merged into Islam and Judaism. I need to mention that "violates NPOV" is not a criteria for deletion, however. - Merzbow 20:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Hang on, the issue of Islamic anti-semitism is certainly encyclopaedic, and I do not see why the page cannot be NPOV. The section on Dhimmi, for example, is perfectly NPOV (it could do with some sources, but lack of sources is not a reason to delete). The Islam and Judaism article does not talk about what this article is about at all. I casn see no reason to delete - if people do not like what is on the page, go and edit it. That is not the business of AfD. Batmanand | Talk 21:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Islamic antisemitism is recognized and studied phenomenon. Kuratowski's Ghost 21:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Islam and Judaism. Only parts up to Wiki standards of course Bwithh 21:52, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as above - CrazyRussian talk/email 23:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Islam and Judaism does not adequately cover this content at the present time. Doing so is better than having separate articles, and that is the better title, so Merge. GRBerry 03:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

*Keep per above. Briangotts (Talk)(Contrib) 14:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, and if any rescuing of text for other articles then only any items that are impeccably referenced. Itsmejudith 22:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or rename to something that is focused on the Muslim practice rather than the Islam itself or Merge with Islam and Judaism. See my comment above. --Aminz 06:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• I'll support the Merge with Bwithh's reasoning. Either way, the title is inherently NPOV. --ColourBurst 21:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge, though there should be discussion as to whether another name could be produced that would both remove any perceived POV and retain the basic meaning. Tewfik^Talk 21:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - certainly an encyclopedic topic. While POV must be fixed, it cannot serve as a reason for deletion. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 00:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Humus, why don't you just rename the article Allegations of Islamic anti-Semitism?Homey 00:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
    • The current title does not imply that Islam is antisemitic, so I don't see a need to change it. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 02:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Humus Sapiens. Chodorkovskiy ^(talk) 03:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge per above. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib)

• Keep per above --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 12:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete "Islam and Judaism" is clearly a less biased title to describe the inter-faith relationship. A few well sourced statements can possibly be merged into that article. Raphael1 21:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep agree with Humus sapiens. This should not be an stage for bashing the islam, but it is a very valid topic in any encyclopedia. gidonb 00:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The subject is obviously encyclopedic; all NPOV and other problems must be resolved on the article's talk page. Pecher ^Talk 14:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
