Al-Razi and Al-Qazwini

Is this the same person as Al-Razi? Mahanchian 00:07, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I dont think so. The National Library of Medicine lists them separately.--Zereshk 00:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Persian?

mm, he is descended from Anas ibn Malik so how come he consider persian? Mewoone (talk) 22:10, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, I think this should be changed to Arab. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 18:04, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I have added two sources for Persian ancestry only because an IP had made some changes. I removed "Persian town", which seemed a little ostentatious for that time. Changed "Persian physicians" to Islamic physicians and "Persian writers" to Islamic writers. --Kansas Bear (talk) 21:32, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your intervention. Agreed on the Islamic changes. However, for the sources you added, I am not sure about their credibility, as the first one sounds Iranian and the other one is an Arabophobe. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 04:19, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I have added two more sources, one for Arab and one for Persian. The changes I made to the categories are red-linked. Sorry, categories are not my area. --Kansas Bear (talk) 05:25, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Fiction Writer

His writings have nothing to do with Islamic teachings. But thanks to this[REDACTED] article, people have started quoting his fictional work as "Islamic knowledge/teachings". He was a science fiction writer. He wrote about fictional things, including off world travels. Yes, he wrote about space travel in 13th century. His book The Wonders of Creation is also a work of pure fiction. Don't mix this fiction with Islam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.116.232.57 (talk) 14:20, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110306173333/http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/proj/ttp/flash/qazwini/qazwini.html to http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/proj/ttp/flash/qazwini/qazwini.html

Nonsense

User:LouisAragon
What do you mean by "being of Arab descent doesn't make you Arab ethnically" ? that is such a nonsense, ethnicity does not change magically by just being born in a different country. Also what dose Peter the Great has to do here? His article says only his mother is of Tatar origin, a completely different case. You are confusing ethnicity with nationality.
However, if you insist on edit warring than I am deleting Persian categories from Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr al‐Farisi and Abū al‐ʿUqūl since going by your logic, both were no longer "Persian" ethnically for being born in Yemen ! Frasfras17 (talk) 09:28, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
