I removed a section that had some serious POV issues. It was clearly written from a Muslim perspective, which is not neutral. It also contained original research in regard to what the Koran does or doesn't say. It also had irrelevent information about the Muslim world as a whole (and also didn't cite sources for that). MezzoMezzo 21:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Between me and an anonymous user there have been a number of back-and-forth edits in the past few days. My concern is that some mention of pre-Islamic patterns should remain in the article. (Without this, it doesn't seem like there's as much to distinguish Islam in Ethiopia from that in other countries). When I have time I can consult one of the sources I have on hand and expand this information. Also: if "Mecca," "Sheikh," and "Hussein" are the common English spellings (and this being, after all, the English Wikipedia), then those are probably the ones we should use in the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:32, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
The article says that most Ethiopian Muslims are Sunni, yet the last paragraph talks as if Ethiopians are Sufi. Does this mean that one can be a Sunni and also Sufi or is there a contradiction in the article? — J M Rice 15:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
There have been recent back and forth editing concerning which is the largest religion in Ethiopia- Christianity or Islam? The Islamic claim cites the cia factbook and the state department for support- so why not keep this claim?
The claim that Islam is the largest religion in Ethiopia should not be deleted, even if the editors feel true about their claim that the commonly cited sources, that of the United States state department and the CIA, are inaccurate. Why not just have both claims with both sources stay on this article and let the readers decide for themselves from all the information available, just like on the Ethiopia article?
I understand there is disagreement ... BUT it is one thing to dispute the facts in the reference, but quite another thing to leave the reference in place for the CIA Factbook AND change the statistics. I have reverted the most recent set of edits that did that. DON'T do that. Proofreader77 ( talk) 03:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Some text was deleted due to PoV and/or other quality issues, but it did contain a mention of Sheikh Hussein (sp?). As of this writing there is no separate article on the subject. A book I have, African Ark, presents it in such a way that it would seem to distinguish Islam in Ethiopia from that of other countries. (Whether the pilgrimage to Sheikh Hussein's tomb are othodox or heterodox, I won't attempt to answer, nor would I wish to do so.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

but the US State department has contradictory figures, putting Islam as being about equal or a slight majority, so a need for review of the figures might be needed (Sunnis Islam=45%-50%, Orthodoxy= 40%, Protestant 5% and the rest traditional). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.196.230.133 ( talk • contribs) 15:26, 22 October 2007
why did you remove it you arent even a member!! just tell me why did you remove it althought it exists in wikipedia it self in ethiopia religion page!!! and by the way in most reliable statistics show that muslims percentage in ethiopia may reach to 65% of the total population althought orthodox christianity still the state religion!! so even the percentage of 45% to 50% is underestimated!!

Who is the mufti, who is the iman, where is this info, it is very poor in content, what about Eid, what about the new intergration of Eid into the ETV network or the great religious dialogues which go on in Ethiopia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.118.152 ( talk) 23:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
