Talk:Khalifatul Masih

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Both Ahmadi factions like to refer to themselves as "Ahmadi Muslims", and are quite sensitive about this. It may be unfair to use this term only for the members of the Lahore party. Nazli 06:44, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Are you referring to the last sentence? The way I read the current version, it actually implies exactly what you are saying—that some Ahmadi Muslims, the Lahori group, do not agree...—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 07:49, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

One party is currently refered to as: "Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community", while the wording for the second party is "Ahmadi Muslims belonging to the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement". My feeling is that members of both factions would like to be called Ahmadi Muslims. Personally, I am fine with the text as it is, but some memebers of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community may object.Nazli 11:14, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

I see what you mean. Let me see what I can do. Or you can.—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 19:15, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Though now that I look at it, the main article on Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is even worse on this count.—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 19:19, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

How is it now? I am hoping that working on this will help define an approach that can be used to NPOV the two main articles on the two (sub-)sects.—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 19:35, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Looks fine now.Nazli 02:26, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Qadianism

Anybody that gives any honorable status to Mirza Qadiani whether as prophet, nabi, or mujadid, messiah, mahdi, etc, is follower of Qadianism. You cannot believe in Mirza Qadiani in any shape or form and be a Muslim. The Lahoris are also followers of Qadianism.

That may or may not be the case. From a Wikipedia standpoint it is immaterial - Its one point of view. You are free to perpetuate it, however not at the expense of opposing povs. Your point of view receives full attention and time in all articles related to Ahmedism/Qadianism. It it only fair that the opposing point of view be given as much importance.Nazli 08:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
