Talk:Souad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You Guys are wrong! None of this information you put out is true. All you guys say is things you can think of. It's like this can be freely open to anyone to put their information in and you don't care. It's like a dictionary only worse because any body can put what they think in it. Also Souad doesn't claim anything it really happened to her and if you guys would just read the book carefully you would really see what she went through then just saying she claims this and she claims that.
- Burned Alive is a completely undocumented book, that is riddled with historical goofs, medical impossibilities and outlandish cultural hallucinations. It was almost certainly written by someone with little knowledge of the subject. Until the publishers provide some proof of the book's authenticity and answer the questions Thérèse Taylor raised in her debunking review, Souad should be considered no more trustworthy than Norma Khouri.
Articles should be written as neutral as possible. This article clearly is written from a very sceptical point of view. Opinions should be irrelevant.
- To call the book implausible and undocumented is hardly voicing an opinion, but merely stating the facts of the case. Should any corroborating evidence supporting the allegations in the book emerge, the article would have to be revised, but until then Burned Alive needs to be treated as a possible literary hoax.
I'm going to create a "controversy" section for this page. I believe that the book has been fabricated, but the article is written from the POV of a skeptic.--Spyderchan 23:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
