Talk:Sulayman Mountain

Comment
Doesn't make much sense to me to take this short piece out of the Osh page and show it separately. People will much more easily find it under "Osh". And calling it a "mountain of Kyrgyzstan" is rather ambitious, as it is rewally only a big rock. I'd put it back on the Osh page.Cosal 01:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I am not sure, but I think it makes sense to have a seperate article. It is a very important mountain/rock for the muslims in the region, and has lots of history. Right now the article might be thin, but over time I think it'll show that deserves its own page. The categorization was just an intent to tie it to something. Maybe there should be a category such as "Sites in Kyrgyzstan" instead? --Vikingstad 07:36, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, sites in Kyrgyzstan would be useful.Cosal 16:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Solomon
According to the 1958 qadi of Kyrgyzstan, Olimxon to’ra Shokirxo’jayev, it had been shaykhs who had put forward the Prophet Solomon as the origin of the site's name. The qadi argued that the mountain and the shrine there had gotten their names from an 'Uzgandid' vazir named Suleyman Shoh. See E.M. Tasar, Soviet and Muslim: The Institutionalization of Islam in Central Asia, 1943-1991 (Cambridge, MA 2010) 324-325. The man may have been right, or not of course. 82.217.116.224 (talk) 13:02, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
