Before you make up anything[edit]

Make sure you translate the versus of the Qur'an Correct...In chapter 4:15 and 4:16...here is the correct tranlsation

4:15: If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.

4:16 ALLAH (swt) says: If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful.


So please, if you don't know arabic that much, let someone at least who knows good arabic to translate. Otherwise do not make up anything from your mind — Unsigned, by: No need / talk / contribs 23:05, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Possible misinterpretation[edit]

I looked up the quote "I have been made victorious with terror" (added in this edit) and, according to a couple of Islamic sources, this has been taken out of context, is an error in translation and also doesn't justify accusations that Muhammad was a terrorist. I can't read Arabic and the sources may be unreliable so feel free to tell me if you disagree. CowHouse (talk) 06:17, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Personally I have no idea. But I am reminded of christian reactions to what the bible says about slavery. At one time people read it to literally to what it says but now (most) Christians will jump through hoops in an effort to maintain it says something different.
So I agree your links say something different. But it would be interesting to get a quote from Islamic State or some follower of Wahhabism.Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 17:15, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Uh[edit]

This article should probably be rewritten to be less snarky and more accurate, and are those "depictions" really necessary? Oxyaena Harass 23:32, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

@DuceMoosolini I`m summoning you to do the job for us. Oxyaena Harass 23:32, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Browsing this talk page's archives, wow, y'all were really shitty back in the day. Oxyaena Harass 23:44, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, I’ll get on it. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 03:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
While I agree that the casual Islamophobia had to go, I feel like the article's been too sanitised now and reads off like a typical Wikipedia entry. 2402:4000:2381:8E49:78FC:6A5E:4AA3:4F98 (talk) 12:01, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, I'm basically finished with the article for now. If anyone wants to snark it up, by all means go ahead. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 18:38, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Yes, that would be good, given that our job here is to be snarky at woo and miracle-worker types... 183.83.146.18 (talk) 07:24, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
