Ceasefire and Sharia Law
Early life?
Is there any information about his early years? My aunt saw some show that mentioned him and got all flipped out saying she recognized him as a guy who worked at a store she used to go to... yeah, not putting much into that, but it'd be nice to tell her that he definitely wasn't in the US in 2000 so she'd stop bugging me. --Patteroast (talk) 18:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Dude, this guy doesn't even leave that part of Pakistan. There's no way he was in some convenience store in Jersey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.220.134 (talk) 17:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

2009 February Ceasefire
I added a subsection to the 2009 February Ceasefire section about "Reactions to the Ceasefire." This subsection may not really be as pertinent on Fazlullah's page as it would be on the TSNM page or even on Sufi Muhammed's page (since he actually negotiated the ceasefire).RDavi404 (talk) 14:18, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- No, I don't think that this is quite so relevant to the biography of Maulana Fazlullah. It certainly shouldn't be a section. At best it could be part of a sentence. --Bejnar (talk) 19:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. We should probably edit the article so that it fits more into the flow of it and features links to the appropriately related articles.--RDavi404 (talk) 22:43, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- In fact, I think the whole "Military Situation" section should be omitted or rewritten. "Military Situation" has more to do with the Swat than with Fazlullah.--RDavi404 (talk) 22:46, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have made a first stab at changing the section to /* TSNM activities */ and discussing Fazlullah as the topic therein. Obviously it needs more work. --Bejnar (talk) 16:03, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
forcing vice and virtue
When Bigsaf created the article in October 2007 he said: He preaches forcing vice and virtue .... What exactly does this mean? --Bejnar (talk) 19:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Move proposal
The word Maulana is a title, an honorific meaning master. The Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Honorific titles indicates that these should not be use as part of an article title. Therefore, I propose to move this article to Qazi Fazlullah; although there might be confusion with the former member of the Pakistani parliament, Qazi Fazlullah. See "Archive for the 'Qazi Fazlullah' Category ". I also note Qazi Fazlullah Bin Ruzbahan, the fanatic, (aka Qazi Fazlullah Ruzbahan Shirazi) who wrote Ibtalu'l-Batil. --Bejnar (talk) 17:00, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have been informed that Qazi means judge and may not be part of his name. Does anyone have certain information about his name? None of the newspaper articles that I read indicated that Qazi was a title of Fazlullah, but several did point out that Maulana was an honorific. --Bejnar (talk) 17:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Maulana Fazlullah → Fazlullah (Mullah Radio) — I have requested that the Maulana Fazlullah article be renamed, because Maulana is an honorific. See full discussion here. --Bejnar (talk) 17:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose - on the grounds that English-language media always refer to him as Maulana Fazlullah. We have no additional information about his full name. I also believe that since "Mullah Radio" is a nickname it would not be appropriate to use it as part of an article's title.--RDavi404 (talk) 15:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
