The "Brief summary" section worries me, without citations or wikilinks, that it's a copy-paste from another article. That's how it reads. Can someone who knows some more about Ingrid clean this up? --NewtΨΦ 19:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
The Brief background part is highly preachy. Someone please clean it up. Gurry 05:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Jammer6524 added a link to an interview with Ingrid Mattson; Requestion removed it citing linkspam. How was this link different from the others, which weren't deleted? I found the interview to be interesting. Macduff 03:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
She's a convert; I have no idea what a revert means in a religious context (and the read link didn't help) but I do know what a convert is. A revert sounds like someone going back to a religion they left, not picking a new one. jackbrown (talk) 07:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
According to Muslim theology, everyone is born as a "muslim"-- i.e., in a state of submission to God. The labels we take on later in life reflect our upbringing, our forgetfulness, etc. Prophet Muhammad never claimed to be bringing a new religion; he was restoring the integrity of existing faiths. Thus, when people "convert", they are simply returning to the state of submission to God, hence the use of the term 'revert'.
Dr. Ingrid Mattson has authored many articles, academic papers, book reviews, as well as a book, The Story of the Quran: its history and place in Muslim life, that became a widely-used textbook on Islamic sacred scripture. Her academic writings include topics on Islamic ethics and law, religious leadership, the Quran, poverty, slavery, charity and adoption. She lectures widely and nationally to academic and general audiences, and is frequently consulted by media, government, and civic organizations. These publications are not listed and the External links need to be updated as well, some are not working — Preceding unsigned comment added by Demakaz (talk • contribs) 04:24, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks: Can you help me with the style and layout? I am not really familiar with them. As for the citing I will do them of course, at another time. Demakaz (talk) 18:55, 25 March 2013 (UTC).
Justic007: If I started editing my work now, are you going to undo it all, or you will just edit it? So in other words it is safe to undo my work without the worries that somebody else will undo it to the old version. Thanks Demakaz (talk) 19:13, 25 March 2013 (UTC).
Okay, thanks for the clarifications in fact i am having trouble with the style and layout.. Now what do you mean by promotional content?Demakaz (talk) 17:17, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Justice007, I have asked for your help to edit page and you blocked me from doing any. I don't think this is appropriate from an advanced user. I really appreciate your assistant regarding this matter otherwise I will not learn how to edit other pages. Thank you. Demakaz (talk) 01:59, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Justice007, I am still waiting for you to help me out in cleaning this page. P lease let me know if you are available. I don'y want to keep editing and you keep reverting. Thanks (Demakaz (talk) 20:53, 24 June 2013 (UTC)). Hi Justice007, I tried contacting you several times seeking your help and you didn't respond back. I edited the whole page, because it was not very constructive. Please let us talk before u or anyone else might undo my work. Thanks. (Demakaz (talk) 07:37, 14 August 2013 (UTC))
I've made some edits to try to clean this up. It is completely one sided POV. Gaff (talk) 23:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Fundamentalism is not the same as extremism or terrorism. This section speaks about Islamic extremism and terrorism yet is titled as Opposition to Islamic fundamentalism. Fundamentalism in all religions has the same dictionary meaning which even Wikipedia’s article on fundamentalism agrees with.
Extremism in almost any faith especially when it reaches terrorism is not in itself fundamentalism. The mislabeling of this section infers that Islamic Fundamentalism is the same as Islamic Extremism and Terrorism and that’s incorrect.
I’ve improved this title now twice hopefully those reverting it back actually look into the meaning of fundamentalism. Nasiralamreeki (talk) 05:06, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
