Wasatism and neo-traditionalism aren't same thing

The authors have made made an error equating these two concepts/movements. I'd suggest researching more thoroughly and correct things accordingly. 87.115.183.115 (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple sources confirm that the terms Islamic neo-traditionalism and Wasatism are attributed to the same movement- a movement which is considers itself to be the via media between Maddhabist traditionalism, Salafism and modernist/progressivist movements. This is explained in detail throughout the article. Please don’t remove content from Wikipedia based on your own WP:POV. HyperShark244 (talk) 06:11, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the Wikipedia article, it's quite clear that Islamic neo-traditionalism is basically an attempt to revive/reaffirm Maddhabist traditionalism, not the "via media" between the three you claim. Also, could you please quote from sources that affirms your claim? How about one of the sources (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/modern-asian-studies/article/abs/ahlehadith-from-british-india-to-britain/17337306456377172C9A123E95389E25) provided in this article literally states:

"77

Wasatiyyah, literally translated as taking the middle path, is a socio-juristic approach led primarily by Yusuf Al-Qaradawi (b. 1926), which aims to harmonize Islam and modernity. The European Council of Fatwa and Research and the Fiqh Council of North America base their rulings on this approach. See Alexandre Caeiro, ‘The Power of European Fatwas: The Minority Fiqh Project and the Making of an Islamic Counterpublic’, International Journal of Middle East Studies 42, 3 (2010)."

That sounds very different than how you define Wasatism. 87.115.183.115 (talk) 00:30, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
