The photograph is inappropriate and/or inappropriately titled; it can best be said to show "A Muezzin giving the call to prayer."iFaqeer | Talk to me! 20:56, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

Thank you to whoever changed the title.
Isn't the word "prophetically" a POV? And/or inaccurate—the quote describes reality as it was, not what change might happen.iFaqeer | Talk to me! 21:54, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

'clergy' isn't really appropriate either as it connotes something similar to what the christian church uses.

[edit] Recent removals

Someone had added a personal essay on popular use of the term "mullah", one that was strongly anti-Salafi and completely unreferenced. I removed it. I also removed a recently created template that is just very very bad. Too long, too detailed, completely incomprehensible to non-Muslims (and probably to many uneducated Muslims as well). Plus it completely unbalanced the formatting -- it was longer than the article! Template needs work. Zora 09:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Still a stub?

Feel free to disagree with me, but I dont think this is a stub any more. Should it be removed from the stubs catagory and have the stub banner at the bottom removed? -Scaeme 17/05/07
