Muslim talk show

[edit]

Please do not use Wikipedia as a forum to provoke controversy about something that has not been reported as controversial in multiple reliable sources, especially when using that phony controversy to smear a person on their biography. This paragraph about the talk show is completely non-notable. The anon IP who keeps adding this -- who has been a serial vandalist from a couple of IPs in the Arlington VA area -- is distorting the WaPo article to make it sound like she was somehow a supporter of the talk show, when in fact the paper reported "Mogahed said she grew uncomfortable with the discussion and considered hanging up. "I didn't because I didn't want to create a story by doing anything dramatic. I just wanted to get through it and say what I could about my research like I had 100 times before and just never go on this show again."" I don't see any evidence that this incident of her being on the show is worth comment in an encyclopedia article. It certainly shouldn't be here phrased as if she were some kind of supporter of terrorism -- she works for Gallup; she wrote a book with John Esposito; it's downright hysterical to make such claims here, and totally inappropriate in an encyclopedia. csloat (talk) 08:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tweet Controversy

[edit]

While we may argue on wording of this tweet controversy, it should not be completely removed from the article, since it was found remarkable on several servers around the world.--AsiBakshish 03:03, 19 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AsiBakshish (talkcontribs)

It should be completely removed from the article until someone cites secondary sources that actually qualify as reliable sources suitable for a WP:BLP in Wikipedia. twitter.com is a primary source. www.wnd.com doesn't qualify. www.jihadwatch.org is a blog. www.israelnationalnews.com is an extremely partisan pro-settler source. If this event is notable and worthy of inclusion per WP:DUE, it should be easy for an editor who wants to include it to find it reported by mainstream reliable sources that they can cite. Until someone does that, it's gone. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:56, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we probably agree she actually did tweet this. Do I understand you correctly, that it should not be part of the article, because it was not reported in the liberal media? --AsiBakshish 03:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AsiBakshish (talkcontribs)
