[edit] Changes
I changed this: "Berber Jews are the ancient Jewish communities inhabiting the region of the Maghreb in North Africa." => to: "Berber Jews are the Berber Jewish communities inhabiting the region of the Maghreb in North Africa." The first statement was not accurate becasue there are many jewish berber in the present, if that article goes on the ancient berber jews, it should then be called "ancient berber jews".Read3r 13:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
The author stated that Dihya was a jewess. That is speculation. No historical proof is provided to proove that. The sources that claimed her jewish origin were arab-islamic sources. The old arabs called many people "jews" because "jew" sounded negative to the early arab-muslims. If someone can provide a source about her jewish origin. I would be greatful and i will agree to call her jewish.Read3r 14:04, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
The author stated this: "In post-colonial North-Africa, Judaism, as well as Christianity and other local historical belief-systems were banned, and their practitioners persecuted by the newly formed pro-Baathist regimes" I believe Baathism was restricted to Syria and Iraq, and had little influence in North Africa.
