Hello and '''[[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]]''' to [[Wikipedia]]! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

'''Jalapeño poppers''' are [[jalapeño]] [[chile pepper|pepper]]s that have been hollowed out, stuffed with a mixture of [[cheese]], [[spices]], and sometimes ground meat, and then deep fried. They are served (usually with some kind of dip) as appetizers at some Mexican- or Southwest-themed bars and restaurants.

Hi Yuber. I think you may be being [[be bold|just a little too bold]] in adding [[:Category:Arab history]] to the pages of the Arab countries. There is already a [[:Category:History of the Middle East]] which links specifically historical articles about Arabs and others in the region.--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] 05:40, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:True, i guess with the Arab League category it is kind of redundant.--Yuber

::Then do you mind if I delete this category?--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] 04:15, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:::No problem[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 04:17, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi! Good to see someone editing more Arab-related topics. Have you checked out [[:ar:]] yet? - [[User:Mustafaa|Mustafaa]] 03:48, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:Hey, although i speak arabic fluently, i'm not that good at writing or reading. I mean , i know how to work out words phonetically and i know all the letters but i am not proficient enough for something like an encyclopedia :(. Anyways, thanks for your encouragement, i'll continue editing arab-related topic here on the english site :).[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 03:58, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think you have a problem with the article I created called Islamic fascism. If you do perhaps you could discuss it with me. [[User:Walkingeagles|Walkingeagles]] 06:07, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Discussion forum for Souria.com ==

Hello Yuber. You mentioned in [[talk:Syria]] that their is a heated discussion in the English forums of Souria.com. I tried to find the link, but couldn't. Do you happen to know the address for this exact link? Regards, --[[User:Gramaic|Gramaic]] 02:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Hey, here is the link to the discussion forums in English

http://www.souria.com/club/sb_forum.asp?forumid=3

Many of the topics got deleted, they were posted by Lebanese people trying to stir up trouble. Register if you want, we need more people on the forum :).[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 02:40, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Thanks Yuber, I really appreciate it.--[[User:Gramaic|Gramaic]] 03:37, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== False flag revisions ==

It's debatable whether Irgun was a terrorist organization; I might even be convinced that it was. But the next time you make a change like that and flag it as "minor," I'll report you for vandalism. --[[User:Leifern|Leifern]] 14:04, May 4, 2005 (UTC)

Categorization is almost always flagged a minor edit, and I think the Deir Yassin massacre proves they were a terrorist organization. The Zionist Terror Organizations category was finally made after a long debate, it's time to start putting it to use in a fair way.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 15:07, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yuber, this is not the point. The point is that you've made multiple edits, flagged as minor with no description, which actually impact serious issues. I can only conclude that you're doing this to sneak around. Do it again, and I'll be the first to support Leifern's charge of vandalism. [[User:Mikeage|Mikeage]] 23:25, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

::Once again, I am fairly new to this and I didn't know that a categorization of a group regarded terrorist by almost everyone is not a minor edit.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 04:40, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:::Yuber, I think you're much smarter than that. I could argue that "almost anyone" thinks that Yasser Arafat was a corrupt, degenerate imposter, but that doesn't give me the right to flag such a categorization (if it existed) as "minor." --[[User:Leifern|Leifern]] 13:36, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

== Islamofascism ==

Hello. You always keep on asking on the Islamist Terroism page on why this word has anything to do with Islamist Terrorism. I wish for you to read this posting that I wrote on the talk page: "Islamofacism

The word has been used in the article before, not as a direct reference to Islamist Terrorism, but as an article of interest of those who want to read up on the entire issues of terrorism. What happened this morning is that a user by the name of Spastika took the word out, called it a POV. I reverted it, since nearly everything he did was reverted because of his possible pro-Arab pov pushing. I am not sure when the word was added to the article, but all I wanted to do is bring it back to a previous version. Zscout370 (talk) 23:13, 4 May 2005 (UTC)"

Basically, all the link there was place there is just for those who are reading the article on Islamist Terrorism might be interested in the debate about Islamofacism. I agree with people that it is a word recently made up and made popular by "right wing nuts" like Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, but I believe it is a valid link to be put at the end of the article. Plus, as I mentioned before, I was reverting vandalism by a user who was vandalising many pages. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 23:31, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

::Oh ok, that's fine.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 04:39, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:::Plus, I know the word is a slur and made up, but I was wondering if you, myself and others can agree to add the link to the article page. Dispite of what I told you and what I said on the talk page, it feels like I might have started an edit war over that word. What can we do to stop this editing war? [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 13:44, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Another question: do you think the comments by User:KaintheScion seen to be odd? Though this person has an account since (probably) this weekend, it feels like this person has been here before. The person's first comments were to defame (or attack, depending if the accusations are true or not) User:GraceNote. I do not know if this is getting bad, but if it does, I can have you talk to a few folks. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 16:41, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

::It doesn't seem that bad so far, just strange... For a user that just registered yesterday to have all the knowledge of the events of the past few weeks is fishy. He claims he's just a "lurker" that decided to register and get in on things. I don't think anything needs to be done now as he just is trying to argue his POV in the talk page.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 17:02, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

:::I agree, it is strange. I still think it will be valid to at least mention when the term was coined, the person who coined it, where it was first used, where it is used now and the objections of Muslims. If an article about Judeofascism comes up, I will have no problems with it. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 17:09, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

== Syria Ribbon ==

Question, I am wondering why you put that on your user page. I have no problems with it, but I just want to know why you did it. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 18:40, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:Just to make my bland user page a bit more aesthetic.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 21:04, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:: Thats more of a Pan Arab ribbon though, no? same colours as Egypt and iraq, and maybe others (I was always bad at flags!) --[[User:Irishpunktom|Irishpunktom]]\^{[[User_talk:Irishpunktom|talk]]} 20:47, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

:::Well, the two green stars represent the Syrian version of the [[Pan-Arab colors|Pan-Arab flag]]. But yes, almost all Arab countries (except for maybe Tunisia and a few other North African ones) share the Pan-Arab colors. Many of them also use Saladin's eagle as their state symbol (Egypt, Iraq, and Syria).[[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 21:46, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Re ChantingFox's reversions ==

As I gather from his talk page, ChantingFox is fairly new to Wikipedia, and was immediately praised for his work in reverting articles that had been vandalized. He's decided that what you and I see as vandalism is a serious edit and that you and I are the vandals, so he's determined to revert. I've left messages on his talk page. I dunno if I got through to him. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 20:58, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

: Nope, I was wrong. There's another message from ChantingFox on the vandalism alert page, saying that someone is spoofing him, and asking to have this IP blocked. So my initial guess (recorded on his userpage) that there was some skullduggery going on, was proved right after all. [[User:Zora|Zora]] 21:01, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

::I had a feeling something was strange when his contributions section showed that he only created his account today and already acquired a barnstar after editing a few Islamic related articles..[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 21:04, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

::From checking the Page History, ChantingFox himself redirected Yuber's user page to [[douche]], then switched it back. I do agree that there have been people who have been impersonating users on Wikipedia, but this edit was not by an imposter. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 21:06, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Please note the difference between my username and his. This user copied my userpage AND talkpage completely, and redirected my userpage to the same one. --[[User:Chanting Fox|Chanting Fox]] 21:08, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

:Oh man, please accept my apologizes about that one Chanting. I realized now the same vandal has done the same thing to ClockworkSoul, copying the user page and all. If his IP was blocked, then the vandal must have been using a proxy, which is hard to block. However, a notice on Long Term Alerts on the Vandalism in Progress page should be warrented, since this vandal is causing many problems. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 21:14, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

==Jizyah==

Very nice work on this -- and no small amount of diplomatic skill, I notice.

I have made some minor style edits, hope they are helpful, let me know what you think. [[User:BrandonYusufToropov|BrandonYusufToropov]] 03:03, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

::Thanks, Klonimus and Jayjg were going off interpretations by Ibn Warraq and Bat Ye'or. After their changes, the article basically read like one of those two's books. Thanks for your edits, but Klonimus and Jayjg will probably be back trying to push POVs again.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 03:09, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

:I think I recall reading somewhere that there was a community that petitioned the Caliph (or somebody) for the ''right'' to pay jizyah -- they wanted protection, in other words. Of course, I don't have the source now. Ring any bells? [[User:BrandonYusufToropov|BrandonYusufToropov]] 14:59, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

::I think it's already in the article, the Christian Arabs that wanted to pay twice the amount of jizyah to express their gratitude. It might have to be made clearer. It seems that Klonimus and Jayjg's editing style is to remove all quotes and examples that might shed a positive light on the actual history to the bottom and put the interpretations from Ibn Warraq and Bat Ye'or to the top.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 22:30, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

== Saudi Arabia ==

Is there any reason to delete the text in Saudi Arabia, for example I don't find this paragraph POV:

"Highlights of [[mutaween]] activities in the news include instances where they prevented women from leaving burning buildings because they did not have proper Islamic headgear on, and numerous instances of religious persecution of non-Muslims for the "crime" of not being Muslim in Saudi Arabia."

since all of it is based on facts. -- [[User:Eagleamn|Eagle]] 16:36, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

::I hate the mutaween just as much as you do (have family living near dammam), but that paragraph was highly pov. For example, it claimed that the mutaween were found in most muslim countries (the only ones I can think of are Saudi and Iran). It also claimed that the burning building incident was a "highlight", a highlight is usually a good thing. If that paragraph was re-written in more NPOV language, I would see it as useful to the article.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]] 16:50, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

:::Thanks, now it's clear. Though I still believe it would be better if it was rewritten instead of having it deleted. -- [[User:Eagleamn|Eagle]] 16:50, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

==Vandalizing user pages==

Vandalizing the user page of an admin will get you blocked. If you do it again, I will block you. [[User:RDsmith4|RDsmith4]] 00:19, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

:Who are you trying to kid? It's obvious you are an impersonator.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 00:20, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

== Impersonation ==

Thanks! Any idea whose sockpuppet it might have been? {{User:Rdsmith4/Sig}} 01:15, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

:Go [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress/Long_term_alerts#.22Impersonator_Vandal.22 here]] for the latest info on the "impersonator vandal" aka the "doppelganger" [[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 01:40, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

==[[User:KaintheScion]]==

This user has been engaging in POV-pushing on several articles, and upon overviewing his contributions I've noticed that he has also engaged in personal insults against you on several occasions. If you want to file a [[WP:RFC]] against him, I would be willing to co-sign it. [[User:Firebug|Firebug]] 00:22, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yuber, KaintheScion is entitled to remove messages from his own talk page. Please don't revert him again. Many thanks, [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] ^{<font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font>} 00:23, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

::Yuber, you're the POV pusher, and stalking my contrib page to revert me is getting really old. Knock it off.[[User:KaintheScion|KaintheScion]]

:::I actually didn't stalk your contrib page, but two of your edits came up on my watchlist. When I went to leave you a message, I saw that your talk page was cleared. So I reverted to the last version (and there is no rule against this).[[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 00:28, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

==YOU POV PUSHING REVERT MONKEY==

Stop reverting things when you could make edits, you stupid POV-pushing revert monkey.[[User:KaintheScion|KaintheScion]]

:Kain, stop the personal attacks. That is getting nobody nowhere. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 03:17, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

::ZScout, so far I've seen plenty of bad-faith revert pushing and POV pushing - not to mention screaming for references on every single syllable of the edits he's trying to push a POV into - out of Yuber. I've put a notice in the Dhimmi talk but I'm letting him know as well here, if he throws around another revert like that without bothering to explain why in the talk, I'm reporting him for vandalism. [[User:ElKabong|ElKabong]]

:::That is your call, however, you could have said to please stop the inserting of x,y and z, because we believe this is against NPOV. With the statement by Kain, I just think that was a bit over the top and uncalled for. POV pushing can be handled in several other ways. [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(talk)]] 20:03, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

::::I just want to point out that ElKabong and KaintheScion are the same person, this has been proven by admin jpgordon.

==RFC against [[User:KaintheScion]]==

I have opened a [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/KaintheScion|RFC]] against KaintheScion due to his repeated use of personal attacks and false accusations of vandalism. You are free to endorse it if you so choose. [[User:Firebug|Firebug]] 05:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah I just endorsed it, haven't been here the past two days, thanks.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 21:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Credible sources ==

Thanks for providing sources for the quotes you insert, but please use more credible source than whatreallyhappened.com. [[User:Humus sapiens|<nowiki></nowiki>]]&larr;[[User:Humus sapiens|Humus sapiens]]&larr;[[User talk:Humus_sapiens|Talk]] 07:30, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

:Most of those sources were Israeli/American and were well-cited, they were not from a "hate-site". You should try to accept the fact that secular/leftist Israelis are quite good sources for revealing what the heroes of Zionism have said over the years. Although those sources might have been from what you consider a "hate site", they were all well-cited in Israeli/American books.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 13:26, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

==3RR==

Yuber, you were reported for 3RR at [[Golan Heights]] and, because you've been warned many times about 3RR, I've blocked you for 24 hours. If you feel this is unfair, please feel free to contact me using the "e-mail this user" function on my user page and I'll get straight back to you. [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] ^{<font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font>} 10:38, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

:Yuber, I see you've started editing-by-revert again. We don't have a right to revert each article three times in 24 hours: it's an upper ceiling, but we're not meant to take advantage of it. This post to Jay is the wrong attitude: "Um, please look at the edit history. I made an edit today, then you reverted. Then I reverted, then you reverted. Then I reverted again, then you reverted. You're on three reverts, I'm on two." All that's going to happen is that someone will do an [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment|RfC]] on you, then it could go to the arbcom, where you could be placed on revert parole, blocked from editing certain articles, or blocked entirely for a period. If your edits matter to you, then ''make them stick'' by following our policies and making sure you have good sources. And if they don't matter to you, why bother making them in the first place? [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] ^{<font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font>} 23:33, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

::Jay reverted my edits within 3 minutes of when I had made them, perhaps he is the one editing "revert by revert". His claim that I have made 4 reverts and that he has only made 3 is a very shaky one. If you would check the edits you would see the first sentence is sourced.[[User:Yuber|Yuber]]^{<small><font color="#FF8C00">[[User_talk:Yuber|(talk)]]</font></small>} 23:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:::You were reported for a 3RR violation at [[Jizyah]] and have been blocked again for 24 hours. The first edit you made was a revert to a previous version, so it counts as your first revert, not your first edit. Regarding the content and the fact that you supplied a source: violating 3RR gets you blocked even if you're right, and to be honest, I haven't even checked out the content closely, because we're not supposed to take content into account when blocking for 3RR. If in future, you feel your edits are being unfairly deleted (because, for example, they're properly sourced), there are other steps you can take, and I'd be happy to discuss those with you, but you mustn't keep reverting. In addition to the above, you were offered the chance to self-revert. As before, if you feel this block is unfair, please feel free to e-mail me.

==Arab scientists==

I have an un-edited list of Arab scientists with a paragraph of biographical description for each. These are neither Persian nor Persian related. And Wikipedia doesnt have these folks listed.

I cant find the time to write an entry for each and put together the list. Im still working on the Persian list. And I have 60 other projects to finish and tend to.

Where do you want me to send this list to? (Or perhaps paste it somewhere?)--[[User:Zereshk|Zereshk]] 21:49, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Hello Yaber. Thank you for your message and for letting me know that you have used one of my picture.

==[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Presidents_of_Syria Category:Presidents of Syria]==

Hello Yuber. Since you work a lot with Syrian related articles, I thought you may have some pretty good ideas in how to expand this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Presidents_of_Syria category]. As you can see, the only presidents that are listed are Hafez and Bashar al-Assad. Other Syrian presidents that could be listed, I don't know, maybe Amin al-Hafez, Nur al Din al-Atassi, Nazem al-Qodsi, etc. So, what do think? Regards, --[[User:Gramaic|Gramaic]] 07:44, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

==3RR==

Hi Yuber, you've been reported again for 3RR violations, as you saw on my talk page. I haven't looked at them carefully yet, but I've glanced at [[Talk:Jihad]]. The other user has no right to remove the claim that Enviroknot etc are sockpuppets, but similarly you have no right to remove the claim that someone is an Islamist, which is not itself a personal attack, though I can see why it's taken that way. As for the other material you moved, you should probably just leave it.

You're attracting extremist responses because you're acting in an extreme way yourself. Then you over-react because you're being attacked by sockpuppets, and I completely understand that response, but it's making your situation worse. Please see that this is a dynamic that has to be broken, because it's going to escalate, and if you don't sort out your own role in it, the arbitration committee may do it for you by imposing editing restrictions on you.

Can I suggest you stop editing controversial articles for a period? Your presence around some articles is feeding the sockpuppets and anon IPs. You say on your user page that you have an interest in Syria, and some of the Syria pages could really use some good editing, so maybe you could do that?

If you do make a controversial edit, make sure you have a good source, and stick closely to what that source says. Don't insert any of your own opinions. Read [[Wikipedia:No original research]]. Also, don't be so bothered by small details. For example, [[Operation Litani]]: you say Israel invaded Lebanon; Guy says attacked. Does the word "invaded" matter so much you have to keep reverting? You could say "Israeli troops attacked and entered Lebanon." Don't get so hung up on certain words. Above all, stop editing-by-revert. You might try imposing a revert parole on yourself: one revert per page per day or something, and see whether it makes a difference to people's responses to you.

If you do all this, and are using good sources, and ''still'' find yourself being reverted, ask people for help. I'd probably support you if you were doing all of the above, as would others.

I hope you'll give these suggestions some consideration. I don't want to keep on blocking you. Cheers, [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] ^{<font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font>} 22:55, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

There is no mention of the Salafi's role in this, of the wahabbist movements attacks on the four main Sunni Maddhabs, that more Muslims have died as a result of Suicide Bombings than of other religions... oh I could go on.

I hold no grudges for your role in blocking me or in your past as a serial reverter.

But I will get very very upset when you do these things: 1. go back to your serial reverting ways, 2. deceptively edit out my edit and call it "minor", 3. entirely edit out my edit without discussing on the talk page first, 4. go onto controversial pages and make wholesale changes, especially when those pages are far outside of your expertise as in [[christianity]]. Please honor this reasonable request and we will get along fine.

== Ishmael in Christianity ==

Hey Yuber, Noitall is correct. Ishmael is not regarded as "the ancestor" of "the Arabs" for a number of reasons that should be pretty obvious. First off, "Arabs" is far more of a linguistic identification than an indicator of common descent. Beyond that, the only claims of descent from Ishmael come from Arab muslim sources, and even those claims deal primarily with the lineage of Islam's prophet Muhammad. These sources are not viewed as authoritative (or even ''accurate'') by most Christian scholars, and therefore form no part of Christian religious philosophy wrt the rôle of Ishmael in the lineage of "the Arabs". While it is probably true that many Christians, especially in Europe, primarily as a result of the 19th century romanticism of various French writers, believe that Ishmael is the patriarch of "the Arabs" analogous to Yitzchaq being a Jewish patriarch, this belief is not, nor has it ever been, any part of Christianity.

== Bosra ==

hi Yuber

I think you are mixing between biblical [[Bozrah]] in Jordan and Bosra in Syria

the capital of Edom is Bozrah in Jordan, as you can read in many other sites:

Bozrah: The modern city of Buseirah preserves the name and ___location of ancient Bozrah. Bozrah was the ancient capital of the Edomites. The earliest significant remains at Buseireh are from 800 B.C. Bozrah has the largest Iron Age buildings from Transjordan, and it may have been the king’s palace. The city is mentioned in several passages from the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah (Isa 34:6; 63:1; Jer 49:13,22).

the great Nabatean capital of Petra in all of its rose-red splendor, and Bozrah (modern Buseira), capital of the ancient kingdom of Edom. Both were excellent locations for capital cities, securely protected by natural topographical features and well-situated to control the flow of commerce in the region.

--[[User:Urij|Urij]] 08:58, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ancient capital city of Edom 26 miles SSE of the Dead Sea near Petra. An important Edomite strong hold from 1200 to 600 BC, it was the home of Jobab the second known king of Edom. According to the Old Tedstament its destruction was prophesied by Amos and Isaiah ..... (AHSFC)

Bozrah is thought to be a very ancient town, being mentioned in tablets by Thumose the Third and Akhnaten in the 14th century BC. It was one of the first Nabatean cities in the second century BC and in the Hellenistic period it bore the name Bostra. Then the Romans arrived and the King Trajan made it a capital of the state of the Djezire under the name of Nova Trajana Bostra

Wikipedia is heavily biased by viewpoints and interpretations of facts that are excessively favorable to jews and, on the other side of the same coin, Wikipedia is systematically, continually scrubbed 'clean' of viewpoints and factual interpretations that fail the test of favoring jews.

For anyone who doubts this, I invite them to just trot on over to the Zionism article, or the article on the USS Liberty, for example.

==Hey==

Wellcome back . A lot of stuff is goinon around here . [[User:Farhansher|Farhansher]] 16:35, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

==Syria==

You changed some stuff in the article on Syria that I don't agree with. I believe Turkish ''is'' spoken as a first language in parts along the Turkish border among Turkish minorities there, like in Qamishli (although for example Kurdish is a bigger language, and the Turkish minority is small). And the Golan Heights were formally annexed in 1981 by the Begin government, and are now formally part of Israel (according to Israel). [[User:Arre|Arre]] 18:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, they're not using the word "occupation" either. Regardless of what the government is saying, the Golan Heights are for all intents and purposes annexed: Israeli law has been made the law of the area, and it is in every way treated as part of official Israel; like the Jerusalem Municipal Area but unlike the rest of the West Bank. But of course Begin's comment could be included somewhere. [[User:Arre|Arre]] 21:42, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

On the contrary, I meant we should use the word "annexed" just as we use the word "occupied". Begin saying "it's not annexed" right after in fact annexing it, is just paying lip service to international law to avoid condemnation. And that was my point. I just changed the sentence, by the way, to straighten out the language, but I said nothing on annexation. Cheers, [[User:Arre|Arre]] 21:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

==[[Islamophobia]]==

[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files]] so stop your revert war--[[User:CltFn|CltFn]] 04:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

== Dhimmi ==

I don't know which is right, only that this is one of the articles you and Heraclius reverted a lot, and it shouldn't start up again. Please go to the talk page and ask there for sources for the passages you disagree with. The sources have to be credible and preferably in the English language. If people can't produce sources within a reasonable time, you can delete the unsourced sections you disagree with, and if they try to restore them, then ''they'' will be in the wrong, not you. But if you delete them and replace them with a version of your own, then you have to provide sources too. If everyone sticks to the policies, the disputes will be minimized. See [[WP:NOR]], [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:V]], and [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]].

:Hi Yuber, thanks for the message. At the moment I don't have access to a library and amn't well enough acquainted with the subject to discuss it off the top of my head (apart from the fact that sources are pretty badly needed to back up whatever's stated here anyway). So while your remarks seem reasonable I'm not really in a position to get involved. I'll be back in Damascus, God and the hijra wa jawazat willing, sometime next week and may be able to do something on it.

:I've done some stuff on Syrian topics as well over the past while, you can check my user contributions and see if there is anything there you can improve. All the best, [[User:Palmiro|Palmiro]] | [[User talk:Palmiro|Talk]] 14:42, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

==Islamic Sceince==

Just revert without giving any explanation. If he/she protests, ask her for documentation supporting what she claims. In the case of Muslim science, there is way more than ample evidence to shut up any refuters and naysayers. I have just finished writing a 2500 word essay on the history of Islamic Ophthalmology. I am currently trying to see if I can get it published in a professioanl journal. And I will eventually upload it on Wikipedia, which I think you will find it very beneficial.

What I am saying is this: the more documentation and detail we provide, the less people can come along and insult our cultures. And tyhat's what I am trying to do: flood wikipedia with more than enough evidence that muslims, Arabs, Persians, Turks, and Asians contributed greatly to science, like everyone else did.

I'll try to help out.--[[User:Zereshk|Zereshk]] 05:01, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== Minor edits, and more on dhimmis ==

مرحبا يوبر

may I point out that it looks like you have your preferences set to mark all your edits as minor edits. Since you make quite a lot of edits that aren't minor (and long may you continue to do so), may I suggest you take a look at your "preferences" page and change that?

As for dhimmi, I'm not altogether convinced that it's justified to delete the thing inserted about Ibn Kathir. I agree that your source appears to back you up, but so does his seem to back him up. That means that we need to either: (a) find a strong basis for disregarding it, based on solid sources; or (b) put it properly into context, again based on solid sources, and provide a more solid account of the general views of contemporary Islamologues as well as, preferably, contemporary ulama. I will try to do something on it when I get back to Damascus. I've left a note to roughly that effect on the talk page, feel free to reply there or on my Talk. [[User:Palmiro|Palmiro]] | [[User talk:Palmiro|Talk]] 14:51, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I am not an expert on Ibn Kahtir, I just wanted to keep the sura 9:29. I think that from a theological point of view, the dhimmi status is justified by this Sura as much as the Omar pact. Both element should be there. Note that the dhimmi status is not exclusive to Sunni Islam, an that Omar represent Sunni Islam only .--[[User:Equitor|equitor]] 21:18, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

== Cat for deletion ==

You might like to take a look at this, which in addition to having me in a state of tooth-grinding fury, sets a pretty bad precedent.
