This entire article seems to have been cut-pasted from a Shi'a-centric website. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is of dubious accuracy, but it definitely infringes the NPOV policy of Wikipedia.

But that's the least of the issues here. This is supposed to be an article about Abdulrahman bin Khalid, son of Khalid bin Al-waleed. You expect an article about the life and deeds of the man. What you have instead is a (probably plagiarized) paragraph about how Muawiya purportedly killed the man (itself not factual but rather a Shi'a repeated accusation).

I suggest completely scrapping the text and keeping it as a stub for now, until someone has the time to write an actual factual NPOV article about the man.

-IBaghdadi

Things are not false by default only because a shia cites it. If you feel its false, please give a contradictory source, personal pov does not count. As for the article, its a stub, feel free to contribute to it. --Striver 01:27, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This stub also seems very shady to me... Also, you don't learn much about Abd al rahman at all, is this stub even necessary?? Shias are necessarily biased (it is part of their faith) towards Mu'awiyah and the entire family of Umayyah, and some allegations have very little basis in hisotry books. Even if there is not much to contradict it, that does not mean it is accurate. It is portrayed as fact (poisoning) in this stub. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muawiya_I

Islami, al Istiab is a Sunni source, stop claiming its a Shi'a story. --Striver 00:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
