[edit]

Should this category be a part of Category:Muslims? It seems to me that it should be since the emphasis is on Muslim not on Islam. Philosophers of Islam would be if the philosophers could be Muslim or non-Muslim. This matters because of redundant categorizing and all. Please comment. gren 28 June 2005 12:55 (UTC)

Why not both? KSchutte 28 June 2005 14:52 (UTC)

Does anyone know the proper English alphabetization schema for these names? I had always thought you were supposed to ignore the "al-" (placing al-Kindi in "K", for example) and NOT ignore the "Ibn" (placing Ibn Tufayl in "I", for example). Can anyone confirm or deny this?
