Talk:Abu Qatada al-Filistini: Difference between revisions

Palestinian: new section
Palestinian: (minor)
Line 36:
An IP has edited "...is a Palestinian [[Islamism|Islamist]] militant".
 
There is actually a Wiki article [[Definitions of Palestinian]] and on the basis of that I suppose it's accurate from a strictly ethnic point of view. However I have misgivings given that a majority of UN nations accept that there is a [[State of Palestine]] and calling him Palestinian suggests he is a citizen of that state. But he is not., Hehe is Jordanian and what is at issue presently is whether he can be safely deported to his native Jordan.
 
I also frankly suspect a "he's a Palestinean, so let's call him a Palestinian" agenda here. I don't know what Wikipedia crieria are, but common sense suggests that the tag is only really appropiate if Mr. Qatada identifies himself publicly as a Palestinian (and indeed whether his fellow Palestineans endorse that identification). Moreover I can find no recent identifications of him in the media as Palistinean, indeed just the one CBS caption for a file photo dating from 2001.
