Prince Rashed Al-Khuzai

The Prince Rashed al-Khuzai section is two giant run-on sentences, obviously direct-translated from Arabic. I considered removing it altogether but will leave it up with a cleanup tag for anyone who wants a crack at it. --Sillimin (talk) 23:43, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any proof that Qassam founded the Black Hand? As far as I know, the Black Hand existed in 1919 while Qassam only found followers once he became imam of the Istiqlal Mosque. Please correct me if you have any sources refuting this. I am using the following source: Tom Segev, One Palestine, Complete: Jews and Arabs Under the British Mandate (New York, Metropolitan Books), p. 130 (Black Hand) and p. 360 (Qassam).

Clarity

If you're going to edit this article, at least have the imperative to research the topic. Qassam's death hardly triggered the Arab Revolt of 1936. It was a good indicator of the resistance that was developing amongst the Arab population in Palestine, but it was not the catalyst that brought about action as the article indicates. Just as well, it does not add credibility to the article when you present it from an obviously biased perspective. Using terminology such as "carved up" brings about emotions which have no place in historical study. Whoever chose to edit this article with such disregard for factuality has further contributed to Wikipedia's decline as a credible source for information regarding the humanities. I'd say you should be ashamed of yourself, but it's already quite clear that you intended to cloud this controversial topic with polemics rather than provide an accurate perspective of the past. You won't be finding any recruits on Wikipedia, so please do leave history to historians, not propagandists.

istiqlal

the article presently points to the moroccan party called istiqlal. i guess that's wrong. Arre 10:35, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
