thread_title:  POV material needs correction 

message: No one is claiming that Abraham planted bombs or contributed money to groups that hijack airplanes. However, Abraham did associate with Islamic radicals and in the case of Sami Al-Arian, a convicted sponsor of terrorism. His ties to Sami Al-Arian were particularly shameful because it was known for years the Sami Al-Arian was an extremist and suspected of being a sponsor of terrorism. The latter was proven this year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.201.252.202 (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  No Claim That Abraham is a Terrorist, Extensive Information Supporting Links to Islamists and Supporters of Terrorism 

message: What's implied in this section is highly misleading. The "source" linking Abraham and Al-Arian states this:
Then there’s Jamal Barzinji. Abraham enlisted him to find parties who helped and reached out to Muslims after 9/11, with Abraham hosting an awards ceremony for them. Problem is, Barzinji is an officer and/or director in SAFA Trust, Mar-Jac Poultry, and International Institute for Islamic Thought, all raided by Customs in March 2002 for laundering over $1.7 billion to Al-Quaida and Islamic Jihad (through indicted University of South Florida professor and alleged Islamic Jihad frontman Sami Al-Arian).
Using this to imply a "link" between Abraham and Al-Arian is like playing the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game, except with potentially slandrous results. I could possibly be convinced that this deserves some sort of mention in the article. Maybe. Until then I'm moving the section to this talk page --Nscheffey(T/C)</Sup> 06:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moved section to talk page 

message: I removed the category "Eastern Orthodox Christians." According to WP:BLP, categories need to be supported by relevant material in the text of the article, need to be properly sourced (are there any sources about him in English?), and in the cases of religion or sexual preference, need to be relevant to the person's notability, and the person has to have publicly acknowledged their faith. These conditions don't seem to have been met, thus the removal. If proper sourcing and additional text can be added, this category (or perhaps a slightly more specific one?) can be added back in.
