Majority of Algeria Population is Arab and practice Islam is misleading[edit]

The phrase is deliberately misleading the source isn't a scientific study on Algerian population genes but a CIA (usa) website i quote : Ethnic groups: Arab-Berber 99%, European less than 1%

note: although almost all Algerians are Berber in origin (not Arab), only a minority identify themselves as primarily Berber, about 15% of the total population; these people live mostly in the mountainous region of Kabylie east of Algiers and several other communities; the Berbers are also Muslim but identify with their Berber rather than Arab cultural heritage; Berbers have long agitated, sometimes violently, for autonomy; the government is unlikely to grant autonomy but has officially recognized Berber languages and introduced them into public schools)thus the person who put that phrase is misleading they're ready to denial their identity for political reason shameless pls correct that thanks you in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.96.217.64 (talk) 12:19, 10 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

February 2023[edit]

@Simoooix.haddi: since you seem to be having difficulties using the talk page, I'm starting this discussion for you (after reverting the article to its stable version) so that you can seek consensus for your changes. In the meantime, I urge you to refrain from edit warring. M.Bitton (talk) 01:51, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Simoooix.haddi: don't edit my comment again. M.Bitton (talk) 01:57, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, my issue is that it's mentioned in the history section that the almohads were founded by abd al-mu'min which is not historically correct and contradicts the almohad article itself. I suggest to mention that he was just the first caliph, that would actually be more safe. Simoooix.haddi (talk) 01:59, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nope! Your issue is with the undisputed fact that Abd al-Mu'min was the founder of the Almohad Caliphate and its ruling dynasty. I'll let the others deal with your false claims about what the Almohad article states, as well as your usual nonsense. M.Bitton (talk) 02:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
