message: There are a lot of these in the article. I particularly find it unlikely that five major religions would consider him a saint. Clarityfiend 11:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dubious assertions

message: There was a recent edit to add "His followers regard him as the first ever Sufi saint to be buried in the United States."  I could find no citation for the belief of his followers in this regard.  There have been other Sufis who have been highly regarded and buried in the US prior to the death of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen in 1986 according to the web-sites http://www.aulia-e-hind.com/dargah/Intl/USA.htm and http://www.mysticsaint.info/2008/03/sufi-shrines-in-america.html. I have extracted three examples:
::Hazrat Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha (1916 – 1980) is the forty-first Sufi Master of the Oveyssi Sufi Order. His tomb is in Valley Memorial Park Cemetery, 650 Bugeia Lane, Novato, California 94945
::The tomb of Hazrat Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha (1916 – 1980), in Valley Memorial Park Cemetery, 650 Bugeia Lane, Novato, California 94945. He was the forty-first Sufi Master of the Oveyssi School.
::The maqbara of Sufi Ahmad Murad Chisti (Samuel Lewis)(1896–1971) is at Lama Foundation Road, off Taos County Road B-014, Questa, New Mexico, north of Taos Pueblo. 
Since there is ample evidence of other Sufi sheikhs buried in the US prior to 1986, I will revert this edit.
