PAM. This gets a few pages of Google Books hits, but most are SOP references to scientists who are Moors. Raw Google hits suggest the movement is fake, like Pastafarianism, which our entry should note if true. (Also, does the term really refer to "A Muslim adherent of [X]", or does it refer to any adherent of X, where X may or may not be a Muslim movement.) - -sche (discuss) 21:21, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- Doing a Google Books search from the US gets several hits that don't seem SoP. There's a WP article on the movement and I've added a Commons photo of a Temple. It seems that the names are imitative of Christian Science. DCDuring TALK 21:46, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I've overhauled the entry and withdrawn the RFV. - -sche (discuss) 18:40, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
