Someone added a link to this site as support for the claim that Aisha was the "youngest wife" of Muhammad. I make no claims about that site's accuracy or lack thereof, but it clearly is a site pushing an anti-Islamic agenda. If Aisha was Muhammad's youngest wife, we should be able to cite a neutral source for that. If she wasn't, the article shouldn't say she was. Either way, we can do better than that for a reference. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 05:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
I think someone is sanitizing the fact that the book depicts Mohammad as having sex with a child. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.67.44.110 ( talk) 01:34, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
I'm removing the following section, for two reasons which I'll list after I post it:
First of all, I don't know which source claims that Aisha is 14 in the novel. The BBC article says, "The novel follows the life of A'isha, often referred to as Muhammad's favourite wife, from her engagement at the age of six until the prophet's death." Second, I'm concerned that unless a third-party source has commented on this particular inaccuracy, it's original research for us to discuss it. If we want to have a section on historical inaccuracies, they have to be inaccuracies that reliable sources have mentioned, not ones that we find. Spellman's complaints would be a good starting point for such a section; so would the review by Marwa Elnaggar. But we can't just copy bits from Wikipedia's article on Aisha and say, "this doesn't fit with what I've heard about the novel". — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 06:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

This is basically a propeganda against Islam ,
every one should atleast post a comment to discard this topic... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.109.47.105 ( talk) 09:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
This article has recently been updated with material I've removed from the Denise Spellberg article due to WP:WEIGHT and WP:BLP concerns. I'd like to hear the justification for the additions, as not all of it appears to be appropriate here, and I tend to doubt all of it can be verified. Cúchullain t/ c 03:49, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
As I explained, much of the material you removed from the article on Denise Spellberg was not in this article (you partially justified this by stating that much of this material was already available in this article, which I respectfully disagree with you). I don't think its undue weight here, since this article essentially deals with the controversy surrounding this book's publication and subsequent cancellation. The material I added deals with the this controversy and the responses it generated in both the media and academia. If you feel any of this information violates BLP (I don't think it does, although I suppose we could tame some of the specific criticisms of Spellberg) or is improperly sourced (I believe the sources cited are RS), I am willing to discuss any specific concerns.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 05:48, 21 November 2012 (UTC))
