[edit] Islamic extremism

Islamic extremism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The article seemed to originally redirect to Islamic terrorism. The redirect was undone by a user User:Poulton who has done the same to a number of religions in an attempt to create POV forks against them. see these diffs [1][2][3] and [4] for further POV-pushing acts. There is a similar deletion debate on Hindu Extremism. Such articles are watering holes for partisan edits and POV forkings and should be avoided. Useful material should be redirected to Islamism or Islamic terrorism where they can be added with neitrality.Rumpelstiltskin223 23:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete and merge with Islamic terrorism per nom; there's no need for a fork. TSO1D 01:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Any definition of 'extremism' is POV. ॐ Priyanath talk 02:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Better referenced than Christian extremism, but still blatantly POV and West-centric (is that a word? Well, it is now!). I don't see much potential for a rewrite, either. Some of this material could be added to Islamic terrorism if done so in an NPOV manner. Heimstern Läufer 02:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Foo Extremism is a neologism.Bakaman 03:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Delete I have an opinion that all Extremism sites should be removed whether they are about Hinduism, Islam, Christianity or any other, because those extremist elements are not derived from the ‘Truth’ of those religions but from those of who were ‘Fanatic’ of those religions or misused those religions. So it is not prudent to observe Extremism in Islam, but wipe out those weeds of customs, which were introduced within the Islam from the pre-historical times and the fanatics who misuse the Islam.

  • Comment I oppose having this term redirect to Islamic terrorism - it would promote the POV idea that any Muslim who is "extreme" about their faith - i.e., a fundamentalist - is necessarily a terrorist. If anything, if the result is "delete," it would be better redirected to Islam. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hyperbole (talk • contribs) 07:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC).
  • A more prudent course is to work on Religious extremism, and salt all the X-ist extremism pages.Bakaman 16:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - inherently pov — Lost(talk) 07:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Perhaps an article on Religious extremism (currently redirecting to Extremism) can be written that examines the general phenomenon based on academic studies rather than newspaper clippings. Only such a scholarly article dealing with the sociological, psychological, political, historical and religious aspects could be sufficiently encyclopedic. Abecedare 08:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I agree it should be deleted and any relavent material should be merge with Islamic terrorism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ALM scientist (talk • contribs) 16:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC).
  • Delete, ok, I've changed my mind on this topic. New article on Religious extremism would be a better option. --Duke of Duchess Street 03:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
