Talk:Messianic Judaism

message: The article makes no mention of Messianic Judaism as a Christian cultural appropriation of Judaism. This should be mentioned within the article. Even the section of Messianic Judaism's reception among Jews makes no mention of cultural appropriation. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 11:20, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

message: "The professionalisation of scientific study began in parts of Europe following the French Revolution but was slow to reach Britain."
Britain had a period of extensive scientific research and studies in the 17th and 18th centuries through the Scientific Revolution. The Royal Society is the oldest continuously existing scientific academy in the world. It would have been better to clarify the term "professionalisation of scientific study" to give more context to the reader. Currently, the sentence feels too abrupt as an introduction to the section "Knowledge and Infrastructure".  Inlin (talk) 20:44, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  'Greater and Lesser Jihad' 

message: I think this needs to be heavily emphasised, and the distinction between internal and external struggle needs to be made in the lede. This distinction is incredibly important in how English speakers perceive Islam.
:::There are many  erroneous  conceptions about  the djihäd. This  word  is  usually,  but erroneously,  translated  as 'holy war'  but nothing of this sort is encompassed  in the term  which  means  'effort  to  the utmost  of one's  capacity'. The   true meaning  of the word  is best  illustrated by the saying of the Prophet  on returning  from  an expedition  against  an Arab  kabïla  that  adhered  to traditional religion: 'We  have  returned from  a lesser djihäd to accomplish the greater djihäd'  that is, to struggle  for inner  perfection. General History of Africa: Volume 3 pg 46, 
I think the first paragraph does a very poor job, and I might edit it a bit if no-one replies, although I'm wary to as I haven't studied Islam in any depth. Alexanderkowal (talk) 20:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lede first paragraph 

message: Why is the western perception on jihad validated here, rather than challenged? 
::"Most Western writers consider external jihad to have primacy over inner jihad in the Islamic tradition, while much of contemporary Muslim opinion favors the opposite view. The analysis of a large survey from 2002 reveals considerable nuance in the conceptions of jihad held by Muslims around the world."

:Yeah and I didn't mean to be quite so trite. But certainly flavoring and seasonings are very separate. Flavorings would cover things like artificial grape flavor and vanilla for ex. While seasoning is a much more specific thing. - Taxman Talk 14:34, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
:I don't think that flavouring and seasoning are the same thing.  The first sentence in each article makes the distinction.  A flavoring completely changes the taste of a food (which in my understanding applies mostly to factory-produced foods).  On the other hand a seasoning adds flavor or enhances the natural flavor of the food, which implies that you can still taste the original flavor of a seasoned food.  I have removed the merge tags until the issue can be discussed here. -SCEhardt 14:40, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Raven paradox

message: This isn't a paradox. 'All ravens are black' doesn't mean 'all non-ravens are not black', because if everything is black, then all ravens are black 20:57, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Logical Fallacy 

message: This paradox is all about what the meaning of evidence is or how it should be defined.
The simplest way to define evidence is to set the divide at the limit. Any observable that doesn't contradict the assertion is evidence or information in support of the assertion. By this definition if I observe I'm hungry, then this doesn't contradict that all ravens are black and so it is therefore evidence that all ravens are black. But assignment of meaning is by our arbitrary choice and there is no necessity to define evidence this way. It can be defined any way we want to by arbitrary choice as long as we don't contradict the definition of truth itself. Truth is what's observed. Don't say you observed something if you didn't and don't say you didn't observe something if you did. This is the only actual constraint when defining meaning.
There is an unfortunate problem with defining evidence at the limit this way. If I observe I'm hungry, then this doesn't contradict the assertion that all ravens aren't black. So it is evidence that all ravens aren't black also. Now if we observe a black raven, then this would be evidence that all ravens are black. But it is also evidence that all ravens aren't black because it doesn't contradict the possibility of a non-black raven. The definition of evidence we made here doesn't seem to be to useful.
