I am removing multiple quotes attributed to him that only reinforce painting his opposition to the state of Israel. NPOV says that obviously we must not hide his anti-semitism, but nor should we make a monster out of him. Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 06:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

A quote should be put up about his anti-gay views, not just anti-Israel views. He's said lots of things about homosexuals, NPOV dictates we can't ignore it.

If the quotes are relevant to him, yes. But unless he's been elected leader of GLAAD or the Anti-Gay movement, they're not. George W. Bush has said a lot of things about cattle, but because they're not relevant to his notable role, they're not included. Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 23:58, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] doctorship? and historical not respecting the bible link

  1. i've seen a few places that consider this guy as a doctor, i don't know much about him and havn't yet read the entire article.. what is certain that there is no mention of this in the introductory paragraph.
  2. i've just happened to catch this TV interview: Al-Zahar making a claim that the Torah is a fabrication (VIDEO) (Transcript), i've been discussing many muslims and the majority of them, when discussing the bible, either said that Islam respects the bible or that they tried to make unscholar naive claims about the bible based on stuff they picked up on hatespeech websites... all fairly easily refuted by someone who can actually read biblical hebrew and knows a little about the bible.
  3. what about a picture on the article? Jaakobou 01:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
