Removal of paragraph from Magic (paranormal)
Hi, FARAZ. I have just replaced the paragraph you removed from Magic (paranormal). I wonder whether perhaps you did this because you found it offensive to your concept of how a Muslim should act and what they should believe? That's just a guess on my part.

If you have factual corrections to make, you should clearly explain what they are and why. For a substantial change such as deleting a paragraph, it's best to leave a comment on the discussion page explaining why in detail (hit the discussion tab at the top of the article to get there; you can edit it just like the article, and remember to sign your post by adding four tildes at the end ( ~ ).

Ideally you should avoid deleting material. Try to change as little as possible, so as to avoid removing important ideas from the article. For instance you might change the paragraph to say that pre-Islamic arabs believed these things, rather than Muslims. (I'm not familiar with the history myself; I don't know if that statement would be true, I just give it as an example). Just removing the text means we lose all the references to magic carpets, astrology, Biruni, etc.

If something is historically true, and it's relevant, then it should stay in the article. Otherwise, please help us understand why it's incorrect. Thanks, Fuzzypeg 12:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
