[edit] Muslim

I removed this as I fail to see how one can be "Muslim" simply by virtue of parentage. Last time I checked, Muslim meant a follower of Islam. It is a statement of faith, not an ethnic inheritance. Saying "She is Muslim from her father's side" isn't factually accurate. Unless it is verifiable that she is a practising Muslim (or any other religion for that matter) or was raised as a muslim, that should be left out of article. Even if it can be sourced, it would more accurately be written that she is a practising Muslim (with a cite). Given that she apparently just met her birth father recently, I have a hard time believing she was raised in the faith.--Isotope23 ^talk 18:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

On an unrelated not, Ms. Thomas gets 100 cool points for naming her son Tron.--Isotope23 ^talk 18:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

You have an extreme view on determining who is Muslim and who isn't. According to Islam's teachings, every human is first born as Muslim. What do you say to that? Why you talk about ethnic when we are talking about Muslim or Islam? It sounds like you're the confused one. If her father is Muslim then she was born to a Muslim father, there is no reasons to conceal this.--Khan1982 11:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

If it can be reliably sourced that her father is Muslim, it would be perfectly acceptable to say that "her father is Muslim" in the article.... and while I'm aware of Islam's teachings, it still would not be factually accurate to state that she is "Muslim from her father's side" as a statement of religiosity or ethnic identity if she was not actually raised in the faith. I'm not trying to conceal anything; I'm simply insisting on sources and accurate statements.--Isotope23 ^talk 14:42, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
