: There are so many POV statements that it's hard to pick just one. Starting an article with "he was a bastard, just like his father was" is highly prejudicial, given that bastard is a term of abuse in English. Nor are any sources given for this astonishing statement, which I have never encountered in any of my reading of Islamic history.  
 No, I'm not asking for a hadith dump. Find me a quote from a reputable academic historian.  

 : Why, oh why, did you restore the article in all its POV ugliness? Striver, please STOP trying to turn Islamic biographical articles into repositories of Shi'a abuse!  28 June 2005 22:25 (UTC)
