Martha Stewart show bit

I took out a paragraph describing a Martha Stewart show on redheads, as I don't think it added anything. Someone else disagreed and put it back - fair enough. But it's also (IHMO) poorly written at the moment. Would someone care to try to improve it? Ocicat 19:24, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Google translates it as "Red to green eyes."--Gandalfe 17:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad

It is not only white-history that claims that muhammad had red-hair, other sources also maintain that he did, Martin Lings for example. Von Scherwins work contains most of the informataion on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.82.48.54 (talk • contribs)

"According to some sources" is easy to justify with "some" references. A Google search for "Martin Lings" + "red hair" + various spellings of Muhammad comes up with eight unique hits, none of which corroborate this claim.

Apparently there are hadith (narration about the life of Mohammed) that say he had red hair in his beard, but that's all. See Talk:Muhammad

Africans

"Red hair also occurs amongst people of African descent; famous African-American redheads include Malcolm X."

Whoaa- Malcolm X attributed his red hair to the fact that his grandmother (or great grandmother?) was raped by her Scottish owner. Don't quote me on that because I don't have his autobiography with me here. But I asked about that on the Malcolm X entry and someone confirmed that is in his autobigraphy. My point is - Is there ever red hair in black people from Africa that are not mixed race? Also, that is kind of a loaded sentence. I don't think you could just leave it the way it is without an explanation. IMHO --cda 17:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
