[edit] Pre-Islamic Patterns, etc.
Between me and an anonymous user there have been a number of back-and-forth edits in the past few days. My concern is that some mention of pre-Islamic patterns should remain in the article. (Without this, it doesn't seem like there's as much to distinguish Islam in Ethiopia from that in other countries). When I have time I can consult one of the sources I have on hand and expand this information. Also: if "Mecca," "Sheikh," and "Hussein" are the common English spellings (and this being, after all, the English Wikipedia), then those are probably the ones we should use in the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:32, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- There's actually a lot to distinguish Islam in Ethiopia from other countries, but, as it stands now, the article could really use some expanding, so there's no need to remove the part about pre-Islamic patterns.

[edit] Sunni? Sufi?
The article says that most Ethiopian Muslims are Sunni, yet the last paragraph talks as if Ethiopians are Sufi. Does this mean that one can be a Sunni and also Sufi or is there a contradiction in the article? — J M Rice 15:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
