For the sake of maintaining NPOV, I have removed two instances from the "Nation of Islam" section where rather fervent assertions against the group's status as Muslims were made. This seemed to me to be a case of apologetics.--TheBrigand 10:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be merged with/re-directed to Jacob?--iFaqeer 01:20, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
- No, because the Jacob article is based on the way Jacob is known in the Book of Genesis, but Yaqub is entirely re-interpreted by Islam and the Nation of Islam so as to have almost no similarity with the original character. IZAK 03:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Nonetheless, Yaqub and Jacob are really the same person. It is only Yakub under the Nation of Islam that takes a curve. I think Yaqub and Jacob should be merged, including a brief explanation and link to Yakub --Eliyak 23:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
