[edit] Anti Dhimmitude

I dont know the term, but i have been here long enough to know when something is not encyclopedic.--Striver 10:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 18:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I know the term. It's a little bit like the Muslim version of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League. Or the Muslim version of "reverse discrimination." There's been some press about it. It's a topic that would enrich the knowledge base of Wikipedia. The article needs some better writing, though. OfficeGirl 19:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
The ADL "defends" Jewish interests, this is nothing more than bad faith criticism of Islam. Nothing unencyclopedic with that, but it's notability is.--Striver 10:50, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge anything not already there with Dhimmitude, a notable enough neologism; this is entirely dependent on that one. - Smerdis of Tlön 20:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Respectfully, the two terms are completely different and it would be awkward to merge them. Dhimmitude is a subject prominent in the writings of Irshad Manji and other moderate Muslim authors, and these aspects would be a godd addition to that article. The press coverage and writings concerning "Anti-Dhimmitude" would be completely unrelated -- the explanation of the meaning and origin of the term is the only point of similarity between the two.

  • Merge with Dhimmitude. I really doubt that there is enough that can be written about this word to merit its own article. BhaiSaab talk 20:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep the term gets 20,300 hits on google[2]. The term is increasingly found used throughout the blogging community to describe a specific behavior relative to fundamentalist censorship and intimidation.--CltFn 13:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge with Dhimmitude as suggested above. ITAQALLAH 17:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Anti-dhimmitude is quite different from dhimmitude; anti-dhimmitude isn't just the position that dhimmitude in Muslim countries is wrong; it's much more than that, and as such it warrants its own article. Arrow740 06:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
