I cannot find this discussion in the archives, so I'm copying it from history now. /X

Edit requested

An Edit is requested. I made a recent study on Muhammad's father. I found an interesting discovery.. According to Ibn-Hashim and Ibn Ishaq (Historians) Muhammad's Father and Grandfather married 2 different women in the same day. Abdullah married Amina and Abdul-Muttalib married Hala. According to records Muhammad's father died a few months after marriying Amina, Records also show that Hamza (Son of Abdul-Muttalib and Hala) was 4 years older than Muhammad. Which means that Muhammad was born more than 3 years after his father's death since Abdullah and his father married in the same day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Inreet (talk • contribs) 09:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

i want to edit a pic on this page give me the rights or how can i become the established user for editing.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Imaerian (talk • contribs) 06:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

ResolvedAchieving "established" status is simple: your account simply has to exist for four days, and you have to have made 10 edits. That's it. You can read Misplaced Pages:User access levels for more info on this. However, I would go to Talk:Muhammad/Images and post there before editing any images on this page, since this is such a controversial topic. Also, in the future, you should ask questions like this on your own talk page, using the {{helpme}} template. {{editsemiprotected}} is for requesting specific edits to this article. Thanks, and happy editing!--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 06:34, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Need clean-up

Some links are broken, but I am not sure whether these links are intended to be included in this article or not. Can anyone help? Thanks. --Minjokherald (talk) 03:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Pics

You have only heard of 2 Muslims right now who have only but kindly asked to remove the pictures. The Muslim Ummah does not care whether wikipedia is censored or not. The Dutch printed a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad, that was within itself controversial because of content. but regardless we not only got the company to apologize but also the government. The Pope said derogatory comments and we made him apologize. If this leaks out to the known public, we muslims don't give a rats ass whether your laws permit you to put up these pictures. Eventually we will get them reserved through peaceful or forceful means. I rather you keep yourself on the safe side and not bring up a huge controversy and just remove that damn pics. Your information does not need the use of pictures that depict the prophet in anyway. So do the world a favor and take them off.

CapTa1n_Half

Kindly remove the so called pics of Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W).

Regards,

For All Muslims

Removal of Picture at least

In the section of Traditional Views sub headed European and Western Views there is a particular image of Muhammad(PBUH) suppposedly placing the Black stone. This picture has various factual errors as it was fabricated at about 1315 about 7 centuries after the prophet Muhammad(PBUH)'s life so therefore the author's depiction is incorrect. Moreover, the artist himself "Rashid al-Din" is from a Jewish denomination so therefore the image that he has fabricated is biased due to conflicts between Islam and Judaism. As well as the text under the picture tells the reader that this is a picture of Muhammad(PBUH) and does not make it clear that this is an fabrication by a Jewish artist that has much controversy. By allowing this picture to be displayed on Misplaced Pages, you are in effect twisting people's knowledge and beliefs on Islam. Please remove the unwanted image.

Regards,

A Barden

A Barden, please read important notice at top of page for more information. Garycompugeek (talk) 19:18, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

See message above. You can opt to remove these pictures when you view pages like this if you want. Ollie Fury _Contribs 21:50, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

please remove the pics of prophet muhammed. it is true that we can change the settings of our browser but how can we muslims be in peace when we know that some muslims and even non muslims look at those pictures and study them accidentally or even on purpose when we know that pictures of living things are prohibited in islam? i beg you in the name of all muslims to remove those pictures because its an insult to our prophet ant our religion. please understand our feelings. no one would appreciate someone else insulting their religion. i know in this modern world pictures are common but no matter what religion is the same and we have the right to tell you what its like in islam. as you know there are stuff from non muslim biographies of prophet muhammed too and we feel its a must to remind you that in islam this is an insult. please please think about this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.84.130.48 (talk) 16:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry but the answer is no. As stated before, Misplaced Pages is not censored. I can only suggest that you create an account, and configure your browser to remove these pictures. Ollie Fury _Contribs 17:46, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
