At some time, he went mad and tyranized his people, forcing them to live by night and other illogical practices. Try to write that neutrally. --Error 00:21, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Of course, the opinions of the Druze should be voiced also, but dont leave out information, just present both sides. Does anyone know what da'wa refers to, specifically, in entry?

[edit] Incomplete - What about the madness???
Something should be said about the theory that he suffered from madness near the end of his life. One could also mention the beliefs of the Druze people.
I have never heard of the theory that he suffered from madness. In fact, the article is biased and does not give the perspective of the Druze.
[edit] Another Perspective
Many believe that Hakim was not actually mad, but that everything he did served a specific purpose. The fact that the article percieves him as mad shows a lot of bias. Many believe that his actions were to turn people back to God and away from other objects of worship. More should be looked into this matter. Also anything said about the beliefs of the Druze should not be taken literally since the religion is so secretive. The Druze did not worship Hakim, they worshipped God. Furthermore, when Hakim disappeared he did not reappear in Lebanon as the article claims. There is very little evidence concerning Al-Hakim and the sources that this page uses are also full of speculation. I have not really found any consistent information concerning Al-Hakim.
[edit] translation of name
"hakim" does not mean 'ruler'. although the word has been used as a title of position, it is best translated as 'wise' or 'judge'.
read some manuscripts of dai syedna ahmed hamidudin kiramani,he has given all explanations about the righteousnous of hakim, the lineage,the claim of the druze,and his acts,... this article is pretty bias ,
"Ḥakīm is also known for his persecution of Christians and Jews and other typical Muslim behavior."
Now if that's not biased, I don't know what is.
[edit] Editing
I added some information about Al-Hakim eccentric behavior, his death and a picture of his mosque. There no need for his religious section because it doesn’t contribute anything to the subject. Al-Hakim was an unstable man and he prosecuted Muslims as well as other religions. --ThutmoseIII 17:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
