Controversial Fatwas section

@Shanghaienne: Why have you re-introduced this section and how was the deletion of the section 'malicious'? That section is just a list of fatwas some user(s) have found personally controversial. The references provided are links to the fatwas on the islamqa.info website (i.e., primary sources). No reliable secondary sources have been cited to back up the claims of controversy. One source cited to back up a claim is a blog, but blogs are not considered reliable sources according to Misplaced Pages, and the use of the ibitimes.co.uk story is WP:SYNTHESIS.

As per WP:PRIMARY: "Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and to avoid novel interpretations of primary sources. All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Misplaced Pages editors." These requirements are not fulfilled by that section. It is therefore original research. —Human10.0 (talk) 21:27, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

@Human10.0: As I said in one edit summ.: "just because no secondary sources are provided doesn't mean it should be removed", here the secondary sources should be about describing each fatwa as being "controversial", this however does not mean that the statement of each fatwa should be deleted. 22:02, 8 March 2016 (UTC)CounterTime (talk)
