The burden is on you to demonstrate that your material is from a reliable source. Material must satisfy
WP:RS. It is widely recognized on wikipedia that Karen Armstrong is not a scholar of Islam, just a writer. What are her qualifications? She doesn't have any. Compare to the actual Islamic Studies professors we use as sources.

second,
Reliable sources are "authors or publications regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand" and do not have to be a scholar
As I said in comment, if you want to prove that she is unreliable, prove it by citing a supporting source and don't just say "widely recognized"! Do not remove content, add your source to the article if they present a different view.
Don't start calling sources as unreliable who do not comply to your POV (as we see you doing at other Wikipedia edits). ~

The burden is on the editor who wishes to add material to prove that it should be here. Karen Armstrong is not qualified. RS doesn't mean anything you want it to. Otherwise we would be using
Robert Spencer and
Ibn Warraq in the articles on Islam and Muhammad, and I don't think you would like that.

What do you mean "we" - do you belong to some group of people? Pls use your quoted sources (spencer etc.), I do not have any objection to it (Anyways Spencer is heavily quoted in Criticism of Quran article). But do not start making wrong accusations to scholars like Karen Armstrong that she is not reliable without a proof.~
