Talk:Islam in Georgia (country)

Present-day Georgia
The section does not meet WP:NPOV and WP:SOURCE. It contains highly POV assertions to which only one source is given. The article is called Is there a place for Islam in Mikhael Saakashvili’s Christian Georgia, but the link to it (@caucaz.com) does not work. The other link to the same article leads us to a web-forum forum.arbuz.com which can hardly be considered a reliable source. --KoberTalk 04:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Here is a working url (as of August 9, 2008) for the article http://www.caucaz.com/home_eng/breve_contenu.php?id=177

The article was written by Bayram BALCI (reporting in Tbilisi, Batumi, Marneuli, Pankisi); it was then translated into English by Sophie LANCASTER, Cristina PROIETTI and Victoria BRYAN

The forum.arbuz.com repost noted above is here: http://forum.arbuz.com/showthread.php?t=23538

As a response to the criticism by Kober of the reliability of the article, we can state that in the very least, the author is a reputable scholar. The author, Bayram Balci, as of 2005, was the head of the Turkey-Caucasus programme at the Baku campus of the French Institute for Anatolian Studies (IFEA), Azerbaijan in Baku. Balci had received his doctoral degree in political science from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques (Grenoble and Aix-en-Provence) in October 2001. The subject of his doctoral thesis was Fetullah Gülen's schools in Central Asia. Islamtoday786 (talk) 03:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Dr. A. Godlas

Merger with Islam in Adjara
I have suggested to merge Islam in Adjara into this article. Despite all separatist notions, Adjara remains a part of the Georgian state and thus, its religion should be dealt with in the context of religion in Georgia. Otherwise, we will soon have single articles on religion in US federal states or French départements. The contents of the "Islam in Adjara"-article and of the section about Adjara here are mostly the same anyway.--79.199.19.203 (talk) 15:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
