Talk:Baháʼí Faith in Bahrain

This article is a translation for this pageAbu Amal Bahraini (talk) 13:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Just fyi, I'll be looking at helping out documenting things but there is too large an article for just one reference. As for the reference that brings up issues of its own. What kind of website is it? Is it ok to post something from there as a translation into wikipedia? Smkolins (talk) 16:40, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Frankly this article basically needs to be done over with about 1/4 or less dependent on the one reference if it can even be used in English. One mistake the article makes is that a great deal is already available in other articles like Bahá'í Faith so there is no need to "introduce" the religion or discuss it's evolution from the context of Islam. That may be in the newspaper article but it should not be here. This is going to be a lot of work. Smkolins (talk) 18:15, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

other possible refs in the arabic newspaper

• at the bottom about marriage and differing estimates of the community
• arrests in Iran
• mentions situation in Egypt and also experiences in person in Bahrain, like minded with Sufi leaders perhaps
• general condition of human rights in Iran
• view of religious freedom in Bahrain, Sihks and others allowed but not so much Baha'is, especially marriage issues
• mentions a book in a Bahrain library about the history of the religion in Bahrain
• mentions a symnposium on the religion in Bahrain
• memtions situation in Egypt
• a review of a book published on the history of the religion in Bahrain
• seems to mention first Baha'i in Bahrain, some encounters with the group
• story about Abu'l-Qásim Faizi growing up and coming to Bahrain
• another one about situation in Egypt

Not sure how to use these but worth a look.... Smkolins (talk) 13:49, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
