Talk:Islam in Asia

message: While it is factual that Islam began in the continent of Asia, the statement made in the first sentence of this article seems slightly off. This is because the geo-political origin of Islam is the region referred to today as the "Middle East." In academia, the Middle East and Asia are two separate regions, covered by two separate fields of study. (This is mainly based on the prevailing view that the cultural origins of Asia are found in ancient Chinese civilization while the cultural origins of the Middle East are found in several ancient Mediterranean civilizations, most notably Egyptian.) This is complicated by the fact the the Middle East exists both in Asia and Africa.
Should the point that Asia and the Middle East are two distinct cultural regions be mentioned in this article. For much of Asia, specifically East, Southeast, and South Asia, Islam is an import from much later than the 7th century.
I did not modify the article myself as I do not feel qualified to do so, however I wanted to bring this up.

I am trying to contribute to history and size of population of Muslims in articles such as Islam in Asia. I have several peer-reviewed articles in scientific conference proceedings and journals and a recent 600 page book . So I added some results in Islam in Asia and other continent and cited by book. Interestingly, some editors such as AndyTheGrump, Jreferee and Dolescum keep reverting my contribution (basically deleting all of it and the source). They keep citing COI or self-publishing, none of which applies here. When I refute their allegations they come up with another excuse and keep threatening of blocking my account. Such "referees" or "editors" may have other motives that they are not disclosing. The job of an editor or contributor is to make the article better, not deleting all sources and information. Better means: checking facts, better reference, etc.  Hkettani (talk) 17:01, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
