Talk:Abu Hasan al-Ash'ari

message: We have a clear attempt at insertion of Ash'arite POV here. The last opening of the "Views" section read:
:"Muslims consider him to be the founder of the sunni Ash'ari tradition of Aqeedah with followers such as Abul-Hassan Al-Bahili, Abu Bakr Al-Baqillani, Imam Al-Haramain Abul-Ma’ali Al-Juwaini, Al-Razi, an-Nawawi, ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, as-Suyuti and Al-Ghazali."
The given source is Arab News; the link is dead but I found the story at a new address here. It reads:
:"Al-Ash’ari thus formulated the theological outlook of Ahl al-Sunnah, and he was followed by a large number of distinguished scholars, most of them belonged to the Shafie school of law. Perhaps the most famous of these are Abul-Hassan Al-Bahili, Abu Bakr Al-Baqillani, Imam Al-Haramain Abul-Ma’ali Al-Juwaini, Al-Razi and Al-Ghazali."
Notice that Nawawi and Ibn Hajr were thrown into this article even though they aren't mentioned in the source. That's because the Ash'arites level a highly contested claim that Nawawi and Ibn Hajr were Ash'arites, despite Ibn Hajr for example refuting Ash'arites by name on at least one occasion. Needless to say, this is a clear violation of either Wikipedia:Neutral point of view or Wikipedia:No original research, depending on the intentions of whoever wrote that bit. I will remove it immediately, in addition to updating the link. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:53, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Just noticed that the edit included Suyuti as well - also removed. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:54, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

text: There is a movement among the modern Salafi movement to erase details which have been commonly accepted by academics today. I have added sources to the claim An-Nawawi and Al-Ghazali were, in fact, Ash'aris. The claim that they are not has never had any real traction in academic circles and MezzoMezzo has failed to provide a source to the contrary. If you want to remove this, please provide academic sources. DutchManfromtheEast (talk) 13:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ash'ari bias 

message: Recently a number of text changes were made which made reference to the following sources:
* http://www.asharis.com/creed/series/the-authentication-of-al-ibaanah.cfm
* http://www.thenoblequran.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=gsc06&articleID=AQD060001&articlePages=1
* http://www.abovethethrone.com/arsh/
All 3 of these sources are unreliable fanatical Salafi POV sites that consider all non-Salafis to be heretics and unbelievers. None of the sites have any scholarly or academic credibility. As such, I have reverted the article to it's previous version.RookTaker (talk) 07:28, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
