True, but I think one should consult secondary sources *first* for our project, and primary sources *second*. You cannot consult a primary source without an interpretative framework, and you should be deriving that from a secondary source, in my interpretation of [[WP:NOR]].

Strongly agreed. I'm doing mediation right now on some Islamic-related articles and one of the disputants is sourcing everything directly from the Quran :-(
Well...IFF the dispute is over what the Quran says on a certain subject, then this is entirely justified.
OTOH interpreting the Quran seems to be a full-time job for near enough every single Muslim, so if they're arguing over interpretation, they need to be sourcing those different interpretations.
I know we have the Quran at Wikisource: do we have the various interpretations that have appropriate licences also?
