[edit] Bold??

Why is "regarded as the most saintly, pious, chaste, and virtuous woman ever" in bold in the intro? I'm changing it because there is no reason it should stand out from the rest of the section. But if there is a good reason given, then it should be bold; I just couldn't think why it is... --fanturmandos 22:59, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Muhammad in Islam

While this section is certainly interesting reading, it is completely unrelated to the article at hand. The article is about the Virgin Mary in Islam. However, Muhammed's place in Islam is unrelated to that subject as they existed nearly 600 years apart.

The section is also non-sequitor to itself as quickly turns into a treatise on the defintion of Islam and the Muslim faith rather than talk about Mary, Jesus, OR Muhammed.

This is very good material, but it might fit better in more general articles on Islam and comparative religion.

On second reading, I think if we take the last two paragraphs of the Jesus in Islam section and combine it with the middle paragraph of the Muhammed in Islam section to create a new section called "Comparison of Muslim and Christian Views on Mary and Jesus", we can make it work. --Shinmawa

[edit] Rename

Why not name this article to "Islamic view of Mary"?Bless sins (talk) 20:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

That would make more sense. It's not like Virgin is her first name and Mary's her last name. Statalyzer (talk) 15:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
