Islam map

In the page there is a map of the Islamic world that shows that there is a Shiite presence in southern Saudi Arabia, which is not true, as the Shiite presence there is limited to the city of Najran only (partial presence), I hope someone change it MLK7 (talk) 22:08, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to cite a reliable source and explain the discrepancy with the source cited to create the map. Remsense ‥ 论 22:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove the section under “Purity” with the video of Khamenei claiming he spoke to god. This puts Shi’a’s in a bad light. Not all of them believe in Wilayat Al Faqih, which is a controversial Shi’a topic that only followers of Khamenei and Khomeini believe in, and the rest of the Shi’a community differ in opinion about. It’s unnecessary and it is not even mentioned in the section. Please remove it, thank you. 2600:1007:A111:4D4B:5432:D2FF:4F72:4A0A (talk) 04:38, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
