Please help updating with other minority sects Muslims in Kerala including Shias including Bohras common in Mattanchery,Kochi,Kozhikode areas. many Gujarati muslims are Shias. they have their own mosques. Ahmedis/Qadiyanis are present all over Kerala doing missionary work among Mappilas and their worship places can be seen in every major town in north/central Kerala and some southern Keralan towns. Aga Khanis, Khariji etc are diaspora of north Indian muslims. also, please list the important centres of Mappila muslims in Kerala like Malabar towns, central kerala towns like ponnani,kodungallur,vadanappally, chavakkad, aluva, perumbavoor,muvattupuzha-kothamangalam and south towns like karunagappilly, kollam etc. Sunni Muslims in Kerala also differ. Mappilas are a majority only till Ernakulam district. Hanafis coming from Tamilnadu are predominant in south towns. is it correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Praka123 ( talk • contribs) 18:05, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
There is some poor sourcing in this article. A notable example is the Indian Kanoon reference, which is WP:PRIMARY. We never cite legal judgements directly in situations such as this because they are always open to interpretation. It will have to be replaced with a reliable secondary source. - Sitush ( talk) 14:02, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Can I also mention that as per WP:NEWSORG;"Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact."
As you can see if you click on the daily star link, the source is an opinion piece so therefore the source cannot be used as a statement of fact. Mbcap ( talk) 04:26, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Can we have a rock-solid source that explains why the Ahmadis are persecuted in Pakistan? The sentence would then read something like "The Ahmadi community are persecuted in Pakistan because they do not accept Muhammad as the only prophet" (or whatever it is, with a citation immediately following). - Sitush ( talk) 14:53, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
@ Sitush: The content removed in this edit is sourced to a Voice of India Publication, hardly the most reliable. The content itself might be accurate, but the source needs replacing. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 23:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

I have just removed a load of info from Mappila because it appeared to relate more to Islam in Kerala generally than to the Mappila people specifically. Some of what I removed might be relevant for this article, although not all of the sources were great. - Sitush ( talk) 07:56, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Can I add this to the demography section?
In 2015, 42.87 % of births were recorded as Hindus, 41.45 % Muslim, and 15.42% Christian. [1] In 2016, total annual births to Muslim parents surpassed that of Hindus for the first time. [2]

I think it's relevant to mention that Today, Muslims in kerala are given reservation under the Other Backward Communities category. Don't you think it's relevant?
