Murder in Islam

Article is solely for pushing the POV of a known and previously banned troll and vandal and substantive material is best dealt with on the Islam and related pages. --TJive July 5, 2005 00:56 (UTC)

• Delete, offensive and sad. Dcarrano July 5, 2005 01:20 (UTC)
• Delete. Hopelessly POV. -- Natalinasmpf 5 July 2005 03:12 (UTC)
• Delete. enough said. -- BMIComp (talk) 5 July 2005 06:57 (UTC)
• Delete, some people may justify killing in the name of Islam that way, but it's hopelessly POV to think all of Islam believers think of this as justifiable. - Mgm|^(talk) July 5, 2005 08:08 (UTC)
• Delete. What everyone else said. This is just an anti-Muslim diatribe. One could just as easily write an anti-Christianity piece listing every time in the Bible God slaughters people or endorses doing so. Frederick R July 5, 2005
• Merge or make subarticle of Islam article. Specific references to ideology are important. Here it lacks context and I don't understand what works are being quoted. -- DavidH July 5, 2005 18:27 (UTC)

Merge some portions with Islam#The Qur.27an and add balancing text showing that the Islamic faith doesn't support murder, if available. Out of context this cannot achieve NPOV. Without context and without commentary this is of little value to an Encyclopedia. Pedant 2005 July 5 19:30 (UTC)

• Delete. Irreparably POV, no point is served by merging this anywhere. Bear in mind, as Frederick R has pointed out, the same kind of article could be written about Christians (or Jews, Catholics, Mormons, Hindus, communists, capitalists, etc.). How far, exactly, should we push that door ajar? -- BD2412 ^talk July 5, 2005 21:17 (UTC)
• Strong Keep The subject of murder and violence in the islamic faith and sharia law is apmly documented in the hadith and historical record. This is an encyclopedic topic even if it does make many people uncomfortable. Analgous articles on the treatment of murder in other religions are also appropriate. Klonimus 6 July 2005 07:27 (UTC)
• Delete, POV title. Radiant_>|< July 6, 2005 13:28 (UTC)
• Delete. Ridiculous collection of out-of-context quotes. - Mustafaa 7 July 2005 21:35 (UTC)
• An article on religious perspectives on murder might be worthwhile. This ain't it. Delete. -Sean Curtin July 9, 2005 01:43 (UTC)
