Kaffir[edit]

This moron is not a muslim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.187.4 (talk) 17:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV?[edit]

This article seems a bit propaganda-like, with some exceptions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.132.239 (talk • contribs) 06:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Any specific recommendations? gren グレン 12:23, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article should be Deleted[edit]

This guy really isn't that important, I don't think he deserves a Wikipedia article. It's probably written by him or one of his friends like Professor Laury Silvers from Skidmore College who has a unhealthy obsession with this charlatan who poses as a Muslim to stir up trouble. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.124.95 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Khatri not a filmmaker[edit]

2 sources have been used to document the claim: 1.https://secure.wireimage.com/ItemListings.aspx?str=%28L+to+R%29+Filmmakers+Sadaf+Knight%2C+Michael+Knight+and+Taz+Ahmed+attend+the+Indievest+Party+at+Hotel+Park+City+on+January+22%2C+2010+in+Park+City%2C+Utah.&igi=412566&nbc1=1 This is a miscaptioned photo and there is no support for it elsewhere. 2. http://blog.mtviggy.com/2010/02/17/closing-with-the-knights/ If you read the site, nowhere does it describe Khatri as a filmmaker. The site is being cited for a claim that it does not make or support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.107.164 (talk) 02:13, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well 1 source says in the caption that she is a filmmaker. You can not persistantly remove this sourced content after being warned several times. You are editwarring (breach) and you fail to understand or comply with basic editing policy on wikipedia. Wikipedia is not concerned with "truth" as you or I may see it, but rather what can be sourced. Surely if you feel so strongly about it, you should have no problem finding a source to prove the alleged "misconcaption". Otherwise it's just your personal claim. Once again I refer you to invest time in reading the editing policies on wikipedia. Its for your own benefit. Nimom0 (talk) 12:49, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"no, Wikipedia, my wife is not a filmmaker. This is why you don't get cited on papers."--http://michaelmuhammadknight.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.107.164 (talk) 05:51, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This site seems doubtful especially considering the denial being the only information on there and this is up only after you battling this issue for weeks. Wikipedia strictly asks for[secondary sources] for personal biographies and personal websites is a [primary/original source. Either you are Michael Knight or affiliated with him, either case welcome, but then (due to conflict of interest issues) instead of editing your own article, but kindly contact wikipedia (see left side menu on your screen) and they will remove it for you. But you should not remove sourced content. Nimom0 (talk) 12:31, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The policy also says to be careful with biographies of living persons to use reputable sources. Your sources are 1) a captioned photo on a random site with no support for the caption elsewhere, and 2) an article that does not actually support the claim that is being made. I don't know why you insist on citing the filmmaker claim with an article that doesn't actually support the claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.107.164 (talk) 12:43, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a reliable source article or not. You can just as easily contact wikipedia and ask them to remove it. You fail to understand the point with a discussion and you keep reverting. I don't understand why you keep removing when you have provided no prove. You are not on your 6th revert and this edit warring for which people are blocked. You would have known had you bothered to read the basic editing policy on wikipedia. I have advised you and exercised my good faith. Nimom0 (talk) 13:06, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Knight - a muslim or an ex-muslim?[edit]

Quote from the article: "Knight is criticized for his participation in woman-led prayer, provocative articles, disrespectful attitude toward leaders of the American Muslim community, open admission of past apostasy (chronicled in his essay "Forget what is and is not Islam" in Leaving Islam: Apostates Speak Out), heretical attitudes, embrace of the Nation of Islam and Nation of Gods and Earths, and often rebellious treatment of the Prophet Muhammad." - Sorry, I am not a native speaker of English, so that's maybe why I didn't get it: Is Michael Knight now a muslim or an ex-muslim? Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.78.11.9 (talk) 17:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No one but him would really know, He has written, spoken and as written, converted and re converted to Islam. So we can only really state he had converted to Islam before meeting his dad, then 'became an apostate' according to some although I don't know if he really gave up his faith and describes himself as reconverting to Islam so as I said no one but he would know. 70.69.176.102 (talk) 06:31, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article seem to need encyclopedic upkeep[edit]

I am afraid, I think this article The article seem to need encyclopedic upkeep, copy edit taking into account Wikipedia policies for MOS and citation reliability cross-check.

Knight's some of writings seem fictional or fictionalized. IMHO one needs to be careful before citing Knight for any facts in any Wikipedia article.
