Karaite vs Karaite Jewish beliefs[edit]

Unlike Karaite Jews, Karaites of Scythia:

do not avoid sex on Sabbath
only circumcise Karaite clergymen but do not circumcise Karaite laymen
do not sit freezing in the dark on sabbaths without any fire.
do believe in the prophecies of Christ
do believe in the prophecy of the Quran
after mentioning Muhammad do say salallahu aleyhi wasalam
follow a radically different calendar
believe Anan ben David was converted to ancient Scythian Karaism by Abu Hanifa and he was not the founder of the religion.

Will wikipedian articles ever reflect these truths? Or will they forever take the side of the Karaite Jewish point of view?Kaz 07:53, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
