Lede

In lede there are following sentences:

"During the time of the third caliph's reign Aisha rebelled. She did not fully approve of his practices on many occasions, and she wanted to avenge Uthman's death, which she attempted to do in the Battle of the Camel."

If we read through the sentences the first sentence says that Aisha rebelled during the reign of third caliph i.e. Uthman but then second sentence says she wanted to avenge Uthman's death and that she attempted to do in Battle of Camel which was against first Shia Imam Ali the fourth Sunni caliph. Although it is known that Aisha didn't fully approved practices of Uthman and at various occasions criticised him. Hence, I feel the senteces should be rephrased to avoid confusion and give full picture. --Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 11:10, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is anybody looking into above issue? Or should I move ahead and fix it?--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 08:11, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say go ahead, see what happens. Dougweller (talk) 12:24, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the lede. Now it says,

"During the time of the third caliph's reign Aisha rebelled. She did not fully approve of Uthman's practices on many occasions. During fourth caliph's reign she wanted to avenge Uthman's death, which she attempted to do in the Battle of the Camel."

Hopefully this settles the issue.--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 16:20, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiislam

I found a site called Wikiislam which portrays Aisha and Muhammed in a very negative way. The only mention of the site on Wikipedia is a reference in the article on Islamophobia. I wonder about responses to the way they are portrayed at Wikiislam? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.9.112.31 (talk) 17:14, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I recently found stuff over the internet about 'thighing', the Islamic practice of Mufa'khathat - Muhammed having intercrural sex with a prepubescent Aisha, and Muslims today engaging in this practice with children. I cannot, however, find actual evidence for any of this - the only sites I come up with are anti-Islamic sites, and the references provided are questionable, or circular. I also just realized that Mufa' khathat is 'Mu Fuck a That'. I emailed Snopes about it all. - 124.191.144.183 (talk) 13:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
