Talk:Haman (Islam)

[Untitled]
The bottom is a repeat but it is still important to research the books listed to look for evidence. They are:

The Speculation About the Name "Haman"

Those who keep themselves occupied by looking for inconsistencies in the Qur'an refer to a man named "Haman" who is mentioned in the Qur'anic verses as one of Pharaoh's men.

In the Torah, the name Haman is not used when the life of the Prophet Moses is quoted. On the other hand, it is mentioned in the Gospel to refer to a helper of the Babylonian king who lived 1,100 years after the Prophet Moses and persecuted the Jews.

Those who claim that the Prophet Muhammad wrote the Qur'an in the light of the Torah and the Gospel also put forth the sophistry that he copied some of the subjects in the Qur'an wrongly.

The ridiculousness of this claim became obvious 200 years ago when the Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered and the name "Haman" was discovered.

Until then it had not been possible to read any of the writings or tablets written in ancient Egyptian. The ancient Egyptian language and hieroglyphs had been present for many thousands of years. However, with the spread of Christianity and its cultural influences during the second and third centuries AD the ancient Egyptians forgot their religion as well as the language, and the use of hieroglyphs came to a gradual stop. The year 394 AD is the last known time when a hieroglyph was used. Afterwards this language was forgotten, leaving nobody who could read and understand it. Until some 200 years ago.

The ancient Egyptian language was deciphered in 1799 with the discovery of a tablet dated to 196 BC called the "Rosetta Stone". The unique nature of this tablet came from the fact that it was written in three different forms of writing; hieroglyphics, demotic (a simplified form of ancient Egyptian hieratic writing) and Greek. The ancient Egyptian dialect was decoded with the help of the Greek version. A Frenchman named Jean-Françoise Champollion completed the deciphering of the whole tablet. In this way, a forgotten language and the history that it contained came back to life. This discovery made it possible to research ancient Egyptian civilization, their beliefs and social life.

It also made it possible to acquire the vital piece of information we are now discussing. The name "Haman" was in fact mentioned in old Egyptian tablets. It was mentioned on a monument which now stands in the Hof Museum in Vienna, and in which the closeness of Haman to the Pharaoh was emphasized. (Walter Wreszinski, Ägyptische Inschriften aus dem K.K. Hof Museum in Wien, 1906, J. C. Hinrichs' sche Buchhandlung)

The dictionary "The People in the New Kingdom" refers to Haman as "the head of the quarry workers". (Hermanne Ranke, Die Ägyptischen Personennamen, Verzeichnis der Namen, Verlag Von J J Augustin in Glückstadt, Band I, 1935. Band II, 1952)

This discovery brought to light a truly astonishing fact. Haman was, contrary to what those who opposed the Qur'an claimed, really a man who had lived in Egypt during the Prophet Moses' time and furthermore, just as stated in the Qur'an, he was close to the Pharaoh and dealt with construction of sorts.

As a matter of fact, the Qur'anic verse that conveys how the Pharaoh requested Haman to build a tower is in perfect unison with this archaeological finding:

Pharaoh said, 'Council, I do not know of any other god for you apart from me. Haman, kindle a fire for me over the clay and build me a lofty tower so that perhaps I may be able to climb up to Moses' god! I consider him a blatant liar.' (Surat al-Qasas: 38)

In conclusion, the discovery of the name Haman on ancient Egyptian tablets discredited another claim made by those who strive to find inconsistencies in the Qur'anic verses. Furthermore, the undeniable truth that the Qur'an is revealed by God is once again proven without any doubt as the Qur'an miraculously conveyed historical information that could not have been found and deciphered in the Prophet's time.

Looking at the Egyptological references, I am slightly worried that they are largely to old texts. It is scarcely credible that Maspero can be cited as an authority on Egyptian architectural methods. Likewise, Ranke's dictionary is rather old (it is now superceded) and any information it might present on phonology is of dubious veracity (might as well quote Budge!) given that our knowledge in this area has moved on a little since then.

Egyptology has moved on a long way since the 1930s, and so the whole discussion of historicity needs either to be based on modern, recognised, authoritative Egyptological texts (so David Rohl doesn't count) or to acknowledge that the argument is tendentious and poorly founded in sound scholarship.

I find it worrying that the sole authority claimed is Maurice Bucaille, whom a quick Google search reveals to be a not entirely credible source, in that he clearly has an agenda as a proponent of the Islamic equivalent of sola scriptura (see for example this piece which states that he argued for the accuracy of the Quran as a scientific text).

In view of all this I wonder if this piece requires a POV tag, as it is far from clear to me that it is in fact neutral.

Major Update
Comments on changes I've made:

There is no known egyptiologist btw. expert in this topic supporting Dr. Bucailles claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.72.78.99 (talk) 11:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC) --JBJ830726 00:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Removed AEgyptian-L mailing list links because they're all dead
 * Changed Fir`awn everwhere to Firon because both are used among Muslims and Firon is easier for non-Arab speakers. Used Firon for Pharoah in the Qur'an except from quotes.
 * I'm sorry if the historicity stuff isn't NPOV but I did try. Please help if able!

Major misc revision
I made some changes and thought I should note why I made them:

"New theories concerning the origin and purpose of the Pyramids of Giza have been proposed... Astronomic observatories... Places of cult worship... Geometric structures constructed by a long-gone civilization... Even extraterrestrial-related theories have been proposed with little evidence in support... The overwhelming scientific and historic evidence still supports the conclusion that, like many smaller pyramids in the region, the Great Pyramids were built by the great Ancient Egyptian civilization off the West bank of the Nile as tombs for their magnificent Kings cf Great Pyramid of Giza"
 * Removed “(it should be noted ancient Egyptology is filled with many speculations, a science consist the mix of art and facts)” because it degrades Egyptology using ambiguous wording. Certainly all history is not an exact science, therefore Egyptology should not be insulted for being like all others.  This should be referenced to be reinserted. Such a statement could be inserted anywhere the author wishes to cast doubt on any unliked historical statement. It has no bearing upon the fact that the Haman narrative is in fact inconsistent with Egyptology. For the same reason I removed the quotes around “official.”
 * Removed “The ancient Egyptian inscriptions however show that the name "Haman" is attested in ancient Egypt; it is a masculine name and dates to the New Kingdom period, the period of history in which Moses is principally associated.” This belongs under the “Name” subheading anyway where Wikipedia has agreed that his is not definite.
 * Replaced “Israelites” with “Jews.” This is the historically correct term for this period of Jewish history.
 * Removed “one of” from “The Bible, one of the oldest reference to the Moses and Pharaoh narrative” because it’s not true!
 * Removed “Pharaoh and Haman from Answering Christianity“ because it is copy of another referenced page. Further, the entire site generally lacks scholarship.
 * Removed “However, there are records in ancient Egyptian history where some of the leaders in ancient Egypt defies the previous religion, up to the point that it causes many discontent to many ancient Egyptians.” So what?   Removed “For example Herodotus based on the claim by Egyptians stated that during Khufu administration, the Egyptians are severly restricted in doing their religion, this might or might not be true.” Being grammatically horrible, I don’t even know what this is trying to say.
 * Removed “but used only when its durability would give particular advantage over the mud brick” because that is not in the cited source and adds nothing to the article.
 * Altered “The idea of the Pharaoh climbing a tower or staircase in order to climb and converse with the gods is in consonance with the mythology of ancient Egypt.” Because the quoted source says nothing about a tower or conversing with the gods once he ascends.
 * Removed “:When the Pharaoh completes his climb, magic at his feet "The sky trembles", he asserts, "the earth shivers before me, for I am a magician, I possess magic". It is also he who installs the gods on their thrones, thus proving that the cosmos recognises his omnipotence" ” because this book doesn’t exist as cited. It’s probably this one but this has a different publisher. Please confirm.
 * Removed “It also should be pointed that Khufu (whose name is often associated with The Great pyramid, thoguh some believes that he only merely retrofited The Great Pyramid instead of building it) had Hemiunu (another name that is also often associated with The Great Pyramid) as his vizier and royal seal bearer. If Khufu was Firaun, then it would mean that Moses and the descendants of Israel exodus would have took place somewhere during ancient Egypt's Old Kingdom era (somewhere in the middle of the third millenium B.C. / 25XX~ B.C.), around one and a half thousand years earlier than the current Ussher-ian dating.” If someone wants to suggest that Hemiunu is Haman, let it come from an authority of heiryglyphics. Also note that Hemiunu is 1000 years younger than Haman!
 * Removed “(though The Great Pyramid's status as a tomb is questionable)” because it rhetorically undermines the topic sentence while not objectively providing evidence for anything. Second, it’s false.

Wow, that’s a lot! Please let me know if anyone disagrees! Unfortunately much of the pro-Islamic literature out there is misleading (though not necessarily false), as these changes show. Be careful! --JBJ830726 07:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Major edits II

 * Removed "(e.g. see Moses in the history)". How is this an example of the Qur'an's Haman narrative conflicting with Egyptian history?

 * Hello. First of all, I am not a native speaker and actually my English is not good. I have been in U.S. for only one and a half years. I am sorry about my spelling and grammar. Because I as I understand, the section is saying that "Haman is not historical since Moses was not after all". The sentence reads: "The narrative does have several portions that are similar in the Bible and is inconsistent with official Egyptian history." I just wanted to provid a link to the historicity of Moses. --Aminz 08:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I was wrong. "every" instead of "many" is an oversimplification.

 * Removed "It also should be pointed that Khufu (whose name is often associated with Great pyramid of Giza, . . .. . " It's not relevant to the historicity of Haman, unless you're implying that Hemon could be Haman, which needs to be stated, not implied. Even so, details like whether Khufu retrofitted the pyramid doesn't make any difference to the historicity of Haman.

By the way, it might be good to know that biblical scholars don't give Ussher much credit. He's important because he was the first to do all that dating, but he's no longer the best.

 * You are right. How is this: "It also should be pointed that Khufu (whose name is often associated with Great pyramid of Giza, though some believes that he only merely retrofited The Great Pyramid instead of building it) had Hemon (another name that is also often associated with The Great Pyramid) as his vizier and royal seal bearer. IF one assumes that Haman is Hemon, then it would mean that Moses and the descendants of israel exodus would have took place somewhere during ancient Egypt's Old Kingdom era (somewhere in the middle of the third millenium B.C. / 25XX~ B.C.)." --Aminz 08:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Aminz, remember to check your spelling and grammar.

As for "but used only when its durability would give particular advantage over the mud brick." .... Thus the use of burnt bricks was possible but unusual unless durability consideration was taken into account." Do you know this? because I do not.
 * Yup. Please have a look at . Search for "dutability" in the article and you'll be able to find the link. --Aminz 08:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

". However, there are records in ancient Egyptian history where some of the leaders in ancient Egypt defies the previous religion, up to the point that it causes many discontent to many ancient Egyptians. For example Herodotus based on the claim by Egyptians stated that during Khufu administration, the Egyptians are severly restricted in doing their religion, this might or might not be true." This is certainly true, (see Akhenaten) but not relevant to the article unless there was a pharaoh who proclaimed himself the one and only god.

 * I see your point and I think we should write it in a better way. This passage is supposed to show that it is more likely that a Pharaoh claims being the only god for his people rather than a Christian, Jew or Muslim leader says so. As you pointed out, in Akhenaten article we read "A religious revolutionary, Amenhotep IV introduced Atenism in the first year of his reign, raising the previously obscure god Aten (sometimes spelt Aton) to the position of supreme deity." But I think we should re-write this sentence to make it more relevant.--Aminz 08:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, goodnight.--JBJ 06:42, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Now my question to you:

 * "However, critics argue that biblical narratives contain many elements absent in the Qur'anic." I can not get exactly what it means. Can you please clarify it. thx --Aminz 08:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

here i found an interesting link http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Contrad/External/haman.html i found it shocking that some people remove what they consider to be POV because thay claim it's irrelevant yet still back Marraccio's claims witch is also a POV so this article is not balanced and absolutely not neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.99.77.208 (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Moses
Regarding "The narrative does have several portions that are similar in the Bible and is inconsistent with official Egyptian history." I think you're mistakenly thinking this sentence says "the Bible is inconsistent with..." but it means "The Qur'anic narrative is similar to the Bible and the Qur'anic narrative is inconsistent with..." To look at it grammatically, "The narrative" is the subject which applies to both parts of the predicate of the sentence. Does this clear it up?--JBJ 21:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, if you read one of the previous versions of the introduction, you'll see for example that

 * "The question of Haman's historicity depends first of all on the question of Moses' own; see Moses, Exodus. If this is accepted, then it may still be noted that the Torah, the earliest surviving source to describe Moses and the Exodus, does not mention any attempt by Pharaoh to build a tower, nor does it mention any of his advisors.  However, neither does it say anything specifically contradicting such a claim."

 * This was later summerized by later editors to what we can see today. You can see this more clearly if you see the history of the introduction part. The criticisms started from the fact that Moses is not historical by many scholars after all. I think this is what the editors were meaning. --Aminz 22:07, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Ah, now I understand. Great work finding that! To be more correct, Haman's historicity is closer linked to Musa (ie, the Qur'anic Musa) than Moses (ie, the biblical Moses). Even if the biblical Moses was not historical, Haman could still be historical because the Qur'an describes itself as divine revelation; it doesn't need the Bible. Haman's historicity depends mostly on Egyptology, heiroglyphics and the purpose and method of pyramid building. Where the Bible comes in raising the question, did Muhammad use the biblical stories as sources for the Qur'anic story? If he did, then he did not have divine revelation and therefore had no source for Haman except maybe from the biblical book of Esther. It doesn't matter if those biblical sources are true or not. Therefore, it doesn't matter if Moses (or the Bible) is historical. It's an issue of logic. Basically, the Bible could be historical or not, either way Haman could be historical. Or, the Bible could be historical or not, either way Haman could be unhistorical.

 * Perhaps some of that should be explained in the article?

If the Quranic version is inconsistent with the Biblical version,that doesn't necessarily mean the Quranic version is wrong. On the contrary, usually the newer edition of books have more updated and correct information.

More importantly we don't know who the author of the Bible's are and there are too many variations. Also there too many inconsistencies within the Bible's, unlike the Quran. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:F657:6200:6004:7567:7CB5:E879 (talk) 23:51, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Hemon
Regarding Hemon: Again, there are still irrelevant details. Something like this: "Alternately, the Qur'anic Haman could be Hemon, the constructor of the Great pyramid of Giza. " Then include some linguist who attests they could be the same person. These names sounds similar, but not knowing anything about heiroglypics, I can't say they are actually related. --JBJ 21:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I can see from that :
 * "It is also interesting to note that there also existed a similar sounding name called Hemon[71] (or Hemiunu / Hemionu[72] as he is also known as), a vizier to King Khnum-Khufu who is widely considered to be the architect of Khnum-Khufu's the Great Pyramid at Giza. He lived in the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom Period (c. 2700 - 2190 BCE). He is said to have been buried in a large and splendid tomb at Saqqara in the royal necropolis. There is an extant statue of Hemiunu / Hemon, which resides in the Hildesheim Museum [Fig. 6(a)]. Although the name Hemiunu / Hemon is quite similar to Haman, they are written differently [compare the hieroglyphs in Fig. 6(b) with Fig. (4)] and perhaps also pronounced differently. The writing of Hemiunu employs Gardiner signs U36 O28. This is different from what we have seen for hmn which employs V28 Y5 N35."
 * So okay, we can remove this. It seems irrelavant. --Aminz 22:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Durable
Regarding "particular advantage over the mud brick..." oops, I didn't notice it was part of the quote. Good. Can we change it to "but used only when its durability would give particular advantage over the mud brick." .... Thus the use of burnt bricks was possible but unusual." Since the pyrmaids were made from stone and the pyramids are the most durable buildings in the world, it's not as if burnt bricks would be more durable than anything else - only more durable than the mud brick as Spencer says. Including "unless durability was taken into account" implies that if pharaoh was building something durable, he would use burnt brick which he did not. What do you think?--JBJ 21:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, I agree with your suggested change. --Aminz 22:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Monotheism
Regarding Aten, I still think the whole thing is irrelevant unless we can find a pharaoh who claimed to be the only god, as Firawn does. A pharaoh is more likely than a Jew or Christian, but it doesn't mean he did it. If we find a pharaoh like that, then good!

 * Not yet agreed. Let me re-write this passage and then we can discuss it. --Aminz 22:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm wondering if the whole monotheism section should move to a page on Firaun, since it really doesn't pertain directly to Haman. We could link it from here.--JBJ 21:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. --Aminz 22:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Great, I've made the page Firaun.--JBJ 02:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Absent elements
Follow the logic: Qur'an scholars counter that the story shows no similarity in other details - notably the absence of any mention of languages. Muslim scholars say that if the Qur'an was copying the Bible, it would copy everything, eg, the languages thing in the Bible. However, critics argue that biblical narratives contain many elements absent in the Qur'anic. Non-Muslims counter saying, "so what, just because they don't follow exactly, doesn't mean one didn't influence the other."

Is this more clear: "However, critics argue that if the three biblical narratives were merged into one narrative in the Qur'an, many elements would be left out."--JBJ 21:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * How is this, "However, some critics explain that since Muhammad was illiterate, his knowledge of the Bible was based on hearsays rather than the original biblical texts. He may have heard the distorted versions of the three biblical narratives and has confused them together, forgotten some elements and merged them into one narrative in the Qur'an."

 * I think this is what really critics say. --Aminz 22:30, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

blah
As general advice, IslamicAwareness.org is a pretty good site. Especially compared to a lot Muslim debate sites out there.

--JBJ 21:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the advice. --Aminz 22:30, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Too many unsourced claims, violation of NPOV, and other problems
1. It states The narrative does have several portions that are similar in the Bible and is inconsistent with official Egyptian history.

What part is inconsistent? It doesn't elaborate on this in the rest of the article, nor does it give any source.

 * Did you read the whole article? See the entire historicity section (tho not really "His name". Note that "inconsistent" is slightly different from "contradictary." --Ephilei 02:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

2. It states ''Some critics explain that Muhammad's knowledge of the Bible was based on hearsay by the Arabian Jews. He may have heard the versions of the several different biblical narratives, combining them and leaving some parts out by mistake.''

That's entirely POV and unsourced. Plus, there is no mention of why the different biblical narratives should even be used as a standard for comparing.

3. It states ''Several Orientalists, again including Arthur Jeffery, suggest that the motif used here of a tower being built as a challenge to God comes from the story of the Tower of Babel, noting that it was similarly claimed in the Torah to be built of baked bricks. Qur'an scholars counter that the story shows no similarity in other details - notably the absence of any mention of languages. However, critics argue that biblical narratives contain many elements absent in the Qur'anic.''

Well no duh they are absent, because they are two different stories involving different people at different times. Again, this part is highly POV because it assumes that the Bible's story should be the standard that these passages from the Noble Qur'an should be judged upon.

 * First, I want to remind you that POV is not the opposite of NPOV. Second, it is neither POV nor biased because it is a statement about what people believe, namely critics of Islam. If you read textual criticism of the Qur'an, you will see this claim in every book. Here's an example online

 * although many such works, including the one by tisdall, have been denounced as polemic and generally unreliable by academics.  ITAQALLAH   03:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, the Bible is not being used as a standard, as if assumed to be true, only a compliment the same way any document of antiquity would be. The article never claims the Bible is right, only that the Qur'an is using the Bible as a source. Compare the article, Alexander in the Qur'an where the Qur'an is compared to another docuement, the Alexander Romance. The Alexander Romance is definitely fictitious, but used for comparison because it is older than the Qur'an, as is the Bible. --Ephilei 02:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Please don't remove the accuracy tag until these three objections of mine are resolved. -- Ķĩřβȳ ♥  Ťįɱé  Ø  07:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

User:Aminz (a Muslim) and I spent a long time hammering this article out and (at last time we talked) he has no problem with bias here. I understand this article may be troubling to you as a Muslim, but scholarship is scholarship. --Ephilei 02:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

It is not troubling to me as a Muslim, it is troubling to me as a Wikipedian. Criticism of Islam, for better or worse, should always be presented accurately. While certainly a critical examination of narratives involving Haman in the Noble Qur'an would be allowed on this article, unsourced, POV, or OR should not be admitted. As long as the criticisms have a source, and Muslim responses are printed as well, I see nothing wrong with the current existence of the article. Perhaps I came off as a strong blitz on this article, but that was certainly not my intention. As we continue this collaboration, I hope that we can reach agreement. -- Ķĩřβȳ ♥  Ťįɱé  Ø  00:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

So. . . do you have responses for my other responses? Did you see them? I look forward to dialoging with you and reaching a consensus. --Ephilei 02:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Mudbricks were burnt, actually - the "inconsistency" mentioned in the Article doesn't make sense
There seems to be a lot of confusion here. The text of the Qur'an says simply that the bricks were made with burnt mud. And that is exactly one of the main methods by which Egyptians prepared mudbricks: burning mud taken from the Nile in a firewood kiln. Judging from articles on Wikipedia mentioning large constructions commissioned by Pharaohs, it seems that bricks made of burnt mud were fairly common. And there is no actual distinction between "burnt bricks" on one hand and "mudbricks" on the other. Mudbricks WERE burnt, sometimes in the sun, and, when durability was an issue, in firewood kilns. It makes no sense to differentiate between the two, as the current text of the article does. There may be other problems with the historicity of the verses on many aspects, but this is certainly not one of them. Giorgioz 02:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

POV vandalism
It's too bad I need to check this article every few months to make sure good information hasn't been deleted for no reason, I suppose, other than they don't want people to know. I don't have a solution. It's just disappointing. Here's an example that was deleted without explanation:

 * While many Muslims accept Haman's historicity, it is under criticism by others. The narrative does have several portions that are similar in the Bible and is inconsistent with official Egyptian history. Some Orientalists argue that Muhammad has mixed different elements from different stories and has made up Haman's story. But this is rejected by some Muslim scholars pointing out the many differences between the stories. Some ancient Egyptian inscriptions are also used to support Haman's historicity. Firaun's historicity is also questioned.

--Ephilei 20:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

That paragraph is riddled with weasel words, and does not qualify as either POV nor good information for wikipedia unless the relevant references are provided. That is why it must be removed for the time being. When its sourcing and NPOV issues are solved, then you can add it again, but not in its current poor state: "Some say..., many... accept, rejected by some..." - this isn't NPOV.Giorgioz 21:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

- "Shown to be false", not "disputed":
f off Comments on changes I've made:

Changed "disputed" into "shown to be false". Reason: Dr. Maurice Bucaille is a medical doctor - he is not egyptiologist. No known egyptiologist has ever claimed this person on the door-post refers to the quranic "Haman". Quite the opposite: Prof. Erhard Graefe, head of the egyptiological institute of the university Münster (Germany) called this claim "noisy crap". Egyptiologist Prof. Jürgen Osing(formerly Freie-Universität Berlin, Germany) wrote a letter disproving Bucailles claim. Dr. Katharina Stegbauer, egyptiologist University Leipzig, agrees with Graefe and Osing. (http://www.islaminstitut.de/Artikelanzeige.41+M5fff2d8c174.0.html) The global egyptian museum calls the person on the door-post "Hemen-hetep" and the Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna calls him "Hemen-hetep (?)". (http://bilddatenbank.khm.at/viewArtefact?id=321318) (http://www.globalegyptianmuseum.org/record.aspx?id=5136) Therefore, Bucailles claim cannot be taken seriously as long there is no known egyptiologist supporting it with a reasonable theory or hypothesis.

There is no known egyptiologist btw. expert in this topic supporting Dr. Bucailles claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.181.224.232 (talk) 06:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect reference as evidence
I have removed following : "Controversy The story of Haman in the Qu'ran is seen as a controversy by some Islamic scholars, because it is proposed as evidence that Mohammad, when composing the Qu'ran, mistakenly confused the Haman of the Bible. There are many Islamic websites devoted to promoting the idea that the Qu'ran does not contain this historical inaccuracy.  See, e.g., []."

Reason: I have removed this section because it tries to say that it is a "historical inaccuracy" because of what is written in bible, Please do not quote bible as an authentic book of history, please use archeological findings to prove such things not what is written in bible

Also i do not understand why bible is being mentioned in this article .. its neither a book of history not some archeological findings, this article should mention what is written in quran about haman or hadith of prophet muhammad, why even compare it with haman of bible a book which is full of contradictions and not a correct historical source by any standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.165.250.197 (talk) 10:19, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

The Brand New Monty Python Bok

The Brand New Monty Python Bok was the second book to be published by the British comedy troupe Monty Python. Edited by Eric Idle, it was published by Methuen Books in 1973 and contained more print-style comic pieces than their first effort, Monty Python's Big Red Book.

The white dust jacket was printed with some realistic looking smudged fingerprints on the front, leading to several complaints and returned copies from booksellers. These complaints paled in comparison to the fuss created about the cover printed on the actual book. The title of the fake cover was Tits 'n Bums, appearing as a pornographic magazine with a background photo of several intertwined naked women, but purporting to be a church magazine with articles such as "Are you still a verger?", and a 'weekly look at church architecture'. As Michael Palin remembered: "Our publisher Geoffrey Strachan told the story of an elderly lady bookseller from Newbury who refused to believe the fingerprints were put there deliberately. 'In that case I shall sell the books without their jackets', she said and slammed the phone down so quickly that Geoffrey was unable to warn her that beneath each dust-cover was a mock soft-core magazine".

The book contained an amalgamation of print-style pieces and material derived from Flying Circus sketches. Examples of the former include an interconnected series of jokes based on figures of speech and an advertisement for the fictional Welsh martial art of Llap Goch, which claims to be able to teach students how to grow taller, stronger, faster, and more deadly in a matter of days. Examples of the latter include Sam Peckinpah's "Salad Days" and the Travel Agent sketch, a collection of stereotypes about annoying tourists and the perils of inter-country air travel.

In 1974 a paperback edition was issued as The Brand New Monty Python Papperbok, containing the same contents minus the Tits 'n Bums book cover. In 1981 both this book and Monty Python's Big Red Book were reissued as a hardback book entitled The Complete Works Of Shakespeare And Monty Python: Volume One - Monty Python. Paperback editions of both these books were reissued again in 1986 as The Monty Python Gift Boks, sold together inside an outer cover which folded out into a mini poster.

Mac Harb

Mac Harb (born November 10, 1953) is a former Canadian politician, who served successively in local Ottawa positions, as a Member of the House of Commons, and as a Senator for Ontario. He resigned his seat as Senator in 2013 amidst the Canadian Senate expenses scandal.

Life and career
Harb, whose legal name is Mahmoud Harb, was born in Chaat, Lebanon, and emigrated to Canada to study at the University of Ottawa in 1973. He subsequently worked as an engineer at Northern Telecom and a professor at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Harb was elected to Ottawa City Council in 1985 and served as deputy mayor in 1987 and 1988.

He was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1988 federal election as the Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) for Ottawa Centre. He supported Jean Chrétien's bid to succeed John Turner as leader of the Liberal Party in 1990 and remained a Chrétien loyalist throughout his career as an MP.

In September 2003, Harb was appointed to the Senate of Canada on Chrétien's recommendation.

In March 2009, Harb attempted to introduce a bill that would have limited the East Coast seal hunt to only those with aboriginal treaty rights. No senator seconded his motion to introduce the bill, something that other senators could not recall happening in over two decades. He also attempted to introduce a bill in June 2011 that would outlaw commercial seal hunting, and had introduced a third bill against the seal hunt in May 2012. PETA subsequently honoured him as their "Canadian Person of the Year".

Local Ottawa politics
After the 1991 Ottawa municipal election, Harb, who was a Liberal MP and had supported fiscally conservative, pro-business candidate Jacquelin Holzman, admitted to "quietly encourag[ing]" Marc Laviolette to enter the race to split the vote, because he "couldn't stomach Smith's left-wing social agenda" and the thought of Nancy Smith winning.

Senate expense scandal
On December 6, 2012, Harb was named in relation to the Canadian Senate expenses scandal due to expenses for a property in Pembroke, Ontario. In May 2013, the Senate Internal Economy Committee found that Harb had incorrectly claimed $51,482.92 of living and travel expenses and ordered him to repay it, which was done by July 5, 2013. The committee had earlier advised Harb to repay $231,000 of claimed expenses dating back to 2005 to avoid an extensive audit into his finances. Harb stated that his repayment was done "under protest" since he intended to challenge the validity of the committee's findings in the Ontario Divisional Court. On August 26, 2013, he repaid a further $180,166.17, for a total reimbursement of $231,649.07, after which he resigned his Senate seat. In February 2014, Harb was charged with fraud and breach of trust in connection with these expense claims. Those charges were later withdrawn by the Crown in May 2016, after the acquittal of Senator Mike Duffy on his own expense-related criminal charges.

Talk:Kandahar

Website dead
The kandahar website -- http://www.kandahar.gov.af/ -- didn't come up today. HasanDiwan (talk) 04:53, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I am not agree with words used Taliban, what they did before like Mujaheedn? What before they are not mentioned? Everyone directly jumped to the last fews years? What about only 60 or 80 years before?
 * about the trade, education, powers, political and cultural side? They have to research for that add to site. The most famous 100 years at least? 2600:4040:2A63:3600:7CB4:E7E8:3902:7FD6 (talk) 21:21, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Etymology
NOT from Alexandria!: In the book "Histories" by Herodotus, Gandhara is named as a source of tax collections for King Darius. Böri (talk) 13:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, could the name be connected to an arabic "bridge" like with the many Al Qantaras? --BjKa (talk) 11:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Gandhara does not correspond to Kandahar
>Though this is unlikely given the fact that the geography of modern day Kandahar does not equate with that of Gandhara.

I added that statement and it's a fact, you can check the article on Gandhara and see that it corresponds to the geography of modern day Jalalabad, the Kabulistan valley in Afghanistan and Peshawar/Swat in pakistan.

I've also attached a picture of the achaemenid satrapies at the time to show the distinction between the geography of kandahar in the arachosia satrap vs. the gandhara satrap all the way in eastern/northeastern afghanistan.

http://sitemaker.umich.edu/mladjov/files/achaemenid_satrapies.jpg

Hope this clears your misunderstanding.
 * I agree with what you said. Gandhara was located on the eastern side of the Hindu Kush around the Kabul-Swat river valleys while Arachosia was on the southern side in the Helmand and Arghandab valleys. Kandahar was located in Arachosia. Khestwol (talk) 15:50, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't know what the other guy wants, this is common sense and a source (aside from looking at a map) is not needed.

 * I want to not include synthesis. To note that Gandhara is nowhere near Kandahar (as I have just done) is documenting a fact. To conclude that the etymology is therefore incorrect is synthesis; to write that, we need a scholarly source which concludes it.

 * There is hardly any shortage of city names derived from places a great distance away. New York springs to mind. Pinkbeast (talk) 16:21, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

I've changed it to " Although it is important to note the fact that the geography of modern day Kandahar does not equate with that of Gandhara." It is important we keep it like this as kandahar (arachosia) and gandhara (jalalabad/peshawar/swat) are not synonymous and it helps those who are confused and often equate the two.

 * That's still synthesis. It is your own conclusion that that is important, or pertinent to the etymology. Pinkbeast (talk) 16:32, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

What don't you understand about the fact where kandahar lies as it is today is nowhere near the historic gandhara? My edit is not disruptive, it just helps clear misunderstanding of those who may equate gandhara with kandahar as the names sound similar

 * Nothing. I agree that that is a fact. It is entirely reasonable to put it into the article, which is why I did so.

 * However, to draw conclusions from that fact which are not supported by cites is your own analysis.

 * "the geography of modern day Kandahar does not equate with that of Gandhara" is a fact, albeit clumsily worded. "it is important to note the fact" is your personal opinion. One belongs in the article; one does not. Pinkbeast (talk) 16:43, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

m8 you can't just keep changing things like this >The geography of modern day Kandahar does not equate with that of Gandhara however.[12]

I've changed it to that, it's a lot better than saying gandhara is "hundreds of kilometers to the north east" which is vague.

 * In fact it is both clearer and does not insert your own opinion into the text. Pinkbeast (talk) 14:53, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * To be clear: "however" is your opinion again. It's casting doubt on the etymology, your own analysis. It should be removed.
 * "Does not equate" is hopelessly vague. The geography of London doesn't "equate to" the geography of 19th-century London, but nevertheless, they are really quite similar. It is surely better to point out explicitly the considerable distance between Kandahar and Gandhara that to use an expression which could be read as "almost the same, but not quite". Pinkbeast (talk) 15:02, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

To you however is my opinion? Also, stating "hundreds of kilometres" to the northeast is incorrect as 1. it's not 'hundreds' and 2. it's very confusing, a novice reader will not know that in fact, kandahar and gandhara are on opposite sides of the country. I am fine for removing 'though' but it helps with sentence structure and flow and in my opinion does not cast doubt on etymology but rather makes it clear for people (and I've encountered MANY of them) who like kandahar and gandhara to be one and the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scytsari (talk • contribs) 15:13, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 * "However" is your opinion. It's in there, not because of any cite, but to support your own opinion that the etymology is untrustworthy.

 * It looks like hundreds to me. Feel free to produce a more accurate figure; but ditch this "Does not equate to" wording. As I've pointed out above, two places that "do not equate" to each other could be right on top of each other. Pinkbeast (talk) 19:22, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Aside from 'however' the sentence is completely fine, but since you're so insistent I am forced to change it. Is "Modern day Kandahar is not located in the same satrap as the ancient Gandhara" or "Modern day Kandahar is not located in the same region as ancient Gandhara", something to this extent because it's astonishing the number of people (indians mainly) who think gandhara = kandahar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.250.20 (talk) 01:02, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

 * "Modern day Kandahar is not located in the same region as ancient Gandhara" seems OK, but why "modern day"? Surely Kandahar has always been where it is now.

 * I admit I also don't understand your aversion to quoting a distance. Pinkbeast (talk) 16:37, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

By saying hundreds of meters, it's much more confusing since people may not know if it's still located in the kandahar province when gandhara is in a complete other province, saying 'though' or 'however' is not an opinion, it's a reference to a fact, as it is now it seems fine and I don't understand your insistence on changing this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scytsari (talk • contribs) 00:05, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Hundreds of kilometres, not hundreds of metres. And no. If I say London is hundreds of kilometres from Yorkshire, I do not see that can possibly be read as saying that London is _in_ Yorkshire. (Conversely, if I say the geography of London "does not equate" to that of the City of London, that is true even though the latter _is_ inside the former.)
 * "However" is your own analysis of the plausibility of the etymology. Write the facts and let the readers fill in the "howevers". Pinkbeast (talk) 14:10, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

We've settled this, at this point you're just trolling me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scytsari (talk • contribs) 18:05, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

On the already exhausted topic of revising the etymology of kandahar in reference to gandhara once again: No, I will not accept "hundreds of kilometeres to the northeast of kandahar city/province" as this is not specific at all and is a very, very ambiguous statement, hundreds of kilometers to the northeast could imply it is still within kandahar province, it could imply it's in kabul or badakhshan, as such it is very improper form and terminology. "Does not equate" is a more than ample statement, I'm sorry that your english is not advanced enough to interpret this correctly but this is more than sufficient on top of being correct in terms of syntax, grammar and general diction. I will agree to do something about "however" since I understand your viewpoint (well, not really but I'm willing to compromise on your stubbornness here). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scytsari (talk • contribs) 01:37, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Please refrain from personal attacks. (The second part is somewhat ironic since I am a native English speaker and, unless I am very much mistaken, you are not).

 * The issue is not whether it's grammatical - although it is rather clumsy - but it doesn't actually say what you want it to. It is easy to construct examples using your wording where the two places are essentially the same. Here's another:

 * "The geography of Victorian London does not equate to that of modern London."

 * That is a true statement. However, they overlap enormously; one is inside the other. Therefore, the statement "The geography of modern day Kandahar does not equate with that of Gandhara" also does not preclude them overlapping or one being inside the other.

 * Conversely, you cannot construct a true statement of the form "X is hundreds of kilometres from Y" when X and Y are in the same place. Pinkbeast (talk) 02:45, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Un illustre inconnu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Un illustre inconnu~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Cabaret

Cabaret vs Kabarrett vs Burlesque
I am conmfused what is the difference between cabaret and Kabarrett and Burlesque - especiallyif we look at 1920s-30s Berlin or the Moulin Rouge? --MPetz-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.197.65.84 (talk) 20:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

"They did not have to stick to the usual rules of society" - a strange thing to say of people in such establishments. There are still rules!

Portland
In the part that mentions Portland, is it Oregon or Maine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.252.154 (talk) 18:09, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

General criticism
This article shows promise, but a lot of the contemporary mentions sound like promotional ads. There also feels like there should be a more thorough history written, especially for the US but for the rest of Europe too. Hope someone with more knowledge can fill in the blanks and make this more pleasant to read, informative &c. ____________________ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.211.142 (talk) 12:18, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Netherlands
I've heard it may also originate from Café - Bar - Restaurant...

I'm no expert on the matter, but cabarat is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the Netherlands. We actually have a distinct word for people who write and perform cabaret, "cabaretiers". Many cities have yearly student cabaret festivals, where up-and-coming cabaretiers or cabaret groups contest for a jury and a public's choice prize. They're called student cabaret festivals for a reason: the cabaretiers performing are supposed to be students who are simply trying out writing/performing cabaret themselves. And the public usually consists mostly of students too. These festivals are so popular that there's practically an oversaturation of new cabaretiers. The VPRO gids (VPRO magazine) has written multiple occasions sentences that are variations on "there are more cabaretiers than non-cabaretiers in this country" when there's another cabaret broadcast. DodgeK 01:08, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Ageed, there should definatly be a large section of cabaret in the Netherlands

Alf Pioer
i find it rather daring to name "Austrian artist and stand-up comedian" Alf Pioer among the likes of Kurt Tucholsky, Werner Finck and Dieter Hildebrandt as "Famous Kabarettists", for the ones mentioned being "legends" in their field, having achieved an artistic legacy that only few can rival, whereas Alf Poier is merely a newcomer and rather a clownesque comedian than a "kabarettist". i could easily name 10 "kabarettists" from Germany and Austria, who would fit in this list much better, performing and having built a reputation for decades, such as the late Wolfgang Neuss (who had his prime in the 50s and 60s), the brilliant late Matthias Beltz, the late Hanns Dieter Hüsch, German Gerhard Polt, Austrian Werner Schneyder and contemporaries such as Bruno Jonas, Mathias Richling, Matthias Deutschmann, Georg Schramm and Austrian Josef Hader. i have to admit though that most of them lack an entry in en.wikipedia.org, so there is still a lot of work to be done.

German use
I think it is important to include somewhere, that in Germany there is a very well defined difference between "Cabaret" and "Kabarett". "Cabaret" is normally light entertainment while "Kabarett" is always political and/or socio-critical humor. There's also a difference between "Kabarett" and "Comedy". Dieter Hildebrandt for example is a "Kabarettist" who is not a "Comedian" and is in no way related to "Cabaret". Sometimes an artist is active in "Kabarett" and "Comedy" and it is not alway possible to separate the two genres, but the two genres exist and normally adress different audiences. I don't know if this is typical german.

 * What's cabaret about that? SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:51, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

German language Kabarett
Section about Kabarett was deleted by User:G callicott (12:36, 30 September 2008 G callicott). --Cmaric (talk) 11:16, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Swedish/American cabaret image and caption
The image and caption seem to promote a recent show & performers instead of being rapresentative of the subject. Also, is it relevant to know from the caption that the performers are Helena Mattsson and Patrik Hont? The title of the play/show and country should be the only relevant info, which are not currently clear. Is it more relevant to know the song title and the venue name instead?--Sum (talk) 22:53, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't quite see where the promotion angle came into this. How does one promote a show that closed in 2003 or a show group that only existed from 1998 to 2005? Dutch cabaret is represented by an image of one man at a piano and his name. I see much more of a problem there. Nothing cabaret about that photo at all. Here, the reader gets to know that one famous actress began in a cabaret show and that an American cabaret ran at a well known Stockholm venue. I don't know what's more important, can't see how any of it would be irrelevant, don't understand the "promotion" angle and wonder why that pianist is there. "Wild Side Story" closed in 2004 it seems, in case that's what the promotion allegation is all about. Cordially, SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:15, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * PS According to the image page at Commons the name of the show was "A Little Tribute Westward" and it was performed in Sweden. Its is unclear to me what is unclear about that. I think that image is the only one in the article (so far) which gives the reader any sense at all of what the genre is like. SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:23, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

 * So the show/play name is "A Little Tribute Westward." In may view keeping that and removing the song title "Havana for a Night" would make the caption less confusing. The performers seem to me low skilled, and that's where I got the impression of a promotion of an undeserving production. I agree that there is a problem of finding a quality image that actually shows what the subject is about.--Sum (talk) 01:43, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I cannot know whether or not you are such a sharp entertainment critic or talented director of entertainment that you usually can pass judgement on performers like that just by looking at a photo. I do not agree, in any case. Their exact look is what the number in that show is all about. The singer a bit confused, the girl dancer shy, the gigolo impertinent. I have seen the number - it's hilarious, with (undoable) barefoot cha-cha and all, and is exactly what genuine cabaret is all about. Some readers may know the song, one of Mae West's brilliant concepts which she recorded with Tito Coral. Mr. Hont and the rest did an excellent job performing it live in that show. SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:04, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

New "gallery"
A few new images (nice ones) were added now, but I find it unclear what the format is intended to be. Have asked the editor here to explain. SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:51, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Header problem
Thought I would bring this to you guys' attention:

"Cabaret also refers to a Mediterranean-style brothel—a bar with tables and women who mingle with and entertain the clientele. Traditionally these establishmentsI am Joy Richard Preuss, I am joy Richard sing me a song, I am Joy Richard Sing me a song Worldtour, I am Joy Richard Spiller Coca-Cola, I am Joy Richard spiller Pepsi I am Joy Richard Preuss Satellite, I am a staellite, I am joy Richard Preuss Television, I am Joy Richard computer, I am a radio satellite can also feature some form of stage entertainment, often singers and dancers."

This is currently the header of the page. Who wants to fix the obvious error here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.5.223 (talk) 15:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

 * WP:BEBOLD! :) -- Bgpaulus (talk) 16:01, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Unsourced Types section
A whole section was added a few months ago by a one-time IP user, unsourced, with somebody's personal opinions about types of cabarets, but only as performed by one single actor, which is not necessarily what genuine cabaret is about. Its off base and un-Wikipedian, also does not jive with the rest of the article. I'm removing it. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:56, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Tablao
It would be nice is some of the cabaret of Spain (café cantantes) was included here too. Jooojay (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

First Article
Hello everybody and welcome to my first Wikipedia article. Any suggestion and addition is welcome, because I think the subject just deservs it. In addition, I am not at home with my English, so any stylistic suggestion for these few sentences from native speakers is appreciated. In English, I prefere British idiom, just to stay consistent...

International Council of Community Churches

The International Council of Community Churches (ICCC) is a Christian religious association of ecumenically co-operating Protestants and Independent Catholics. Based in Longmont, Colorado, in the United States, it is the main organization of the Community Church movement. The ICCC is a member of Churches Uniting in Christ, the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA and the World Council of Churches. In 2010, the ICCC had 148 congregations with 68,300 members. Membership is concentrated primarily in the Midwest. However, there are several congregations in California, New York, and Florida. According to the World Council of Churches, the council has 108,806 members worldwide.

History
In 1950, the biennial council of the Peoples Church of Christ and Community Centers led by Joseph M. Evans (until then all Afro-American) and the National Council of Community Churches led by the Rev. Roy A. Burkhardt (until then all Caucasian) joined in a historic merger. At the time, their joining represented the largest interracial merger of religious bodies in America. The new creation was the International Council of Community Churches. Member churches united to be a fellowship of ecumenically minded, freedom-loving congregations cooperating in fulfilling the mission of the church in the world. As a post-denominational movement, the council has witnessed and worked for Christian unity, justice and reconciliation in human society.

Polity
Local congregations own the council and determine its emphases and operation. They do so by sending delegates to an annual conference. Each local church is entitled to two voting delegates, of which both may be laity or one each lay and clergy (but not two clergy.) Decisions about council policy are made by the local church delegates voting at the Annual Conference. Delegates elect a volunteer board. The board hires and supervises staff and oversees everyday operations. The Rev. Phil Tom is the current Executive Director. The President is Abraham Wright.

Constitution and Bylaws
The ICCC use a Constitution and Bylaws to help govern the operation of the Annual Conference. These were last amended in 2019.
