Unsourced claims of second-class status[edit]

I placed the unreliable source and citation needed tags on the claims of second class status in this argument months ago and since there has been no effort to add sources I am now leaning towards deletion. The only source provided is a link to a much less reputable wiki page, which is not a scholarly source. If you want to source what that page says you have to follow the sources from that page and link those. You cannot just cite an ideologically biased wiki page as definitive evidence on a historical topic. Those who wish to keep the references to supposed second-class status would do well to add a real source before it is deleted. Puma6374 (talk) 16:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edits by IP[edit]

This edit by IP[1] is problematic. It adds to the lead something that is not covered in the body. The lead is for summarizing, not adding new information. It also doesn't capture the nuance in the sources.

Finally, linking "non-Muslim" to kafir is controversial at best.VR talk 15:51, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 November 2021[edit]

RegentsPark, just like you found reliable sources for the word, "unbelievers" and linked that word to the Kafir article in the Jihad article (see here), I request you to do the same here, that is, link the first occurrence of the word, "non-Muslim" to the Kafir article. I am unable to read what your sources say in the Jihad article. Thank you very much. 2405:204:5197:8209:F40:6AB3:9CF9:4CF0 (talk) 16:50, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone can do so. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:5197:8209:f40:6ab3:9cf9:4cf0 (talk) 16:53, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The term kafir and non-Muslims are not always interchangeable and many Muslims feel it is somewhat of a slur[2].VR talk 17:26, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If I'm right, Wikipedia is based on reliable sources and not what Muslims feel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.75.90.176 (talk) 17:52, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia must adhere to WP:NPOV. "Kafir" is a derogatory term. To refer to non-Muslims as "kafir" is incredibly POV. It is a view that is not even shared universally among Muslims, let alone non-Muslims.VR talk 20:58, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RegentsPark, it is now up to you to add the link or not (since you added it in the Jihad article). I give up.
Kautilya3, you removed the wikilink, linking the word, "unbelievers" to the Kafir article, in the article on Jihad, a little while ago, so can you do what is asked above or explain why it should not be linked at least?
