[edit] The "Third Said": POV Notice

The statement "...Adnan Menderes which intended to remove the anti-Islamic laws introduced by the one-party Kemalist rule." is POV. It is a subjective claim that the Kemalist laws were anti-Islamic. Please rephrase. Balbazar 18:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Origin

The representation of Said Nursi on this side is not very scientificly... 6.2.2007

Apart from the coyright-question the older version contained factual errors. 132.230.118.123 09:24, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

As a person born and died in Turkey, the ethnicity should be changed to Turkish, I believe. Any objections? Resid Gulerdem 02:11, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

He is Kurdish Origin talked about free Kurdistan How can you say he is Turkish?

Most of his works are in Turkish language (albeit in an Ottoman style). We should note he is of Kurdish origin, though. 88.234.10.185 19:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Need to clarify English of Bediuzzaman

Just because he was born in Turkey doesn't change his ethnicity, so I am 100% against. --Bijikurdistan 12:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

He calls himself of Kurdish Ethnicity in several places of Risale-i Nur. 139.179.206.147 (talk) 00:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

He is ethnicaly Kurdish, but he didn't fight for seperation. The fight against Turkey was lead by Molla Said (another person). During WW 1 Bediüzzaman fought at the Caucasus-front against Russian Army and Armenian Millitia with an own troop he lead. During War he got injured and captured. During custody he denied an offer to take the lead of Kurdish separetist. He could escape custody, fleeing to the West to Berlin and from there to Istanbul.

[edit] My edit

Fethullah Gulen and Adnan Oktar (Hatun Yahya) are not follower.Risale-i Nur has special style to serve.On the other hand, Fethullah gulen and Adnan Oktar benefit from that interpretation of Koran.That is important point as against secularism.His method gets just to serve for faith. Sadakat

---

Fethullah Gulen says -in a court- that he is not a follower of Said Nursi (Nurcu) in 1974 to now. So there is no need to add his name in "See Also". He reads Risale-i Nur like other millions of people. And he has a specail community which not belongs Nur communities. --Terennum (talk) 17:26, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] tomb?

as it is noted in the article also place of his grave is unknown, but picture on the right claims its tomb. i think image should be removed.-ArazZeynili_talk^contrib_{10:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)}

I have added the needed information. No need for removing now. OnurtheAgha (talk) 14:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photo Changing

I have changed the photograph of Said Nursi with a better one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terennum (talk • contribs) 13:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Influenced" Section

I think there should be names after "influenced" section. Of course Said Nursî didn't try to influence someone, but he influenced. One can influence others even if he doesn't want to do so. OnurtheAgha (talk) 18:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
