I don't think it should be deleted. A search on Google for "ramadan riots" leads to 28,800 pages. That being said, this subject is notable enough. Also, I never wrote that it was an actual tradition, and don't see why it should be deleted for such a reason. Yes, it is a news story. And so are the Muhammad cartoons.

This whole article needs to be re-written, it is totally biased, and loaded againts Muslims. The riots had very little to do with Islam, although there were many, possibly a majority, of Muslims involved, but they also had many many non-Mulsim blacks, arabs, and other ethnic minorities. see this from the BBC: "the area which is home to large African and Arab communities."

Are you seriously trying to argue that non-Muslim ethnic minorities in the same neighbourhoods, didn't participate? Please answer the question, because if you believe that, then I will produce plenty of evidence to say that it was an ethnic minority thing, not primarily a Muslim thing.

This whole topic is better served by the French riots article. MERGE!!Aaliyah Stevens 22:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
This article is about the same riots that swept through europe, specifically france, it is the same thing, but you have labelled it with a POV title, and given the riots a different name. Regardless of if you agree with me or not, the point is that it is disputed! You can't deny that, and I will provide evidence that the riots were not only Muslim origin youth. And for your information, Allah is simply the word for God, and the 15% of all arabs who are Christian also shout Allahu Akbar, and use the arabic calendar, because the months existed before Islam, so just because some youths shout Allah, does not mean they are Muslims Aaliyah Stevens 22:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
This article is at best original research with a POV. The sources you provide in this article are either not credible and reliable enough to qualify as sources, e.g. debka, or they are reliable national newspapers, but do not hold the same conclusions as you have on this whole topic, they refer to the riots as "the french riots", nothing to do with any theological motivation, or hatred of jews, non-muslims etc. The telegraph article states that it is mainly Arab AND sub-saharab africans, who are majority Christians, except in some west african countries.Aaliyah Stevens 23:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
If you read carefully what I said, I agreed there are credible sources but that they don't give the same slant and conclusions as this POV article. Aaliyah Stevens 17:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
