Why does this article use "Mohammadinism" instead of "Islam"? BhaiSaab ^talk 00:31, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Because that was the term used at the time.--CltFn 00:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

But it's considered archaic now, and offensive on top of that. BhaiSaab ^talk 00:58, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

we can't go around changing all the words from another time period to deal with the few who object to it. Try to get over it , and do not take offense , because if you did it would only be a self inflicted offense --CltFn 02:03, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I understand that. Although if they perhaps used the word in their works does not require Wikipedia to do the same, does it? It would be more accurate to use "Islam." BhaiSaab ^talk 02:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I do not think that its a good idea to translate it to Islam because , it is not 100 % the same concept--CltFn 03:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Why is the title 'Abu-Qurrah', when the article (and modern usage) would have 'Abu Qurrah'? In my view, "Mohammadinism" should also be changed in the artice. It was not used 'at the time' (Theodore A Q never referred to Islam as Mohammadinism), and is not only insulting but inexact (which is why it is objectionable). 'Islam' or 'Muslim thought' or 'Islamic theology' would be better used.Hostiensis (talk) 09:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
