Your comment here was appreciated as even I wasn't aware that Muslims can/do eat Kosher. Regards, --RoadAhead ^=Discuss= 20:40, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ya Afghanistan!

While I'm all for noting Ibn Sina and Rumi's cultural heritage as Persian, it seems many editors try to hide the fact that they were born (or from) what is today Afghanistan, so they go through great lengths saying, "Persian Empire in what is today Iran even though it was called Persia, Shahu akbar," and so forth. The Afghani editors, the ones that haven't fallen prey to Pan-Iranism yet at least, are generally more correct in calling them Afghani, except that is against scholarly consensus since if we look at the entry on what Persian technically means, the Tajik and other Farsiwan of Afghanistan are included. So... it's a tough issue. Just remember, any edit made in good faith isn't vandalism, or so Elonka told me to keep in mind. So, those people who change the Shi'a article and say we're kaffir, that is being made in good faith, unlike the ones who just delete the article and link to pictures of penises. --Enzuru 00:25, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it is, they are trying to improve the article. One is obvious vandalism in which they know what they are doing wrong, like deleting the entire page and replacing it with Shi'a are kaffir for giggles. But like, if someone goes through the entire article and deletes the phrases Muslim and Islam so it just says "Shi'a", that is in good faith, they are honestly trying to improve the article. --Enzuru 20:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1. ibn sina was not born in today afghanistan. 2. balkhi (wrong name rumi) was born in balkh in today afghanistan. 3. they were persian like muhamad was arab but not born in saudi arabia. you seem not to see the difference. 4. being persian or iranian does not have much to do with being from what is today iran.--خنیاگر (talk) 04:15, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
