I hope not to make a habit of complaining. I've never had a need to yet, and hopefully won't need to again.
My question is asking why my "Religion of Peace?" thread was closed. I believe that Parihaka closed it on the basis that it was defamatory toward religion (Islam in particular). What I posted was not personal ranting against Islam, it was posting facts; and using it as a basis against Bush's second "religion of peace" statement. I've seen threads on here that defame all individual Abrahamic religions by calling them the same thing, and saying the worshipers worship the same god. Though not insulting to Muslims (the Qu'ran teaches that), it's insulting to Christians, and really insulting to Jews. So, basically my complaint is that I question the neutrality of closing my thread. In the end I was posting facts that did indeed shed a bad light on Islam, but they were facts that did so. I did not advocate genocide, or anything of the sort. I stated facts. Is it the facts that we have an aversion to here? Or are they facts that defame Islam in particular that we have an aversion to?
If anyone can civilly convince me that I'm mistaken, I'll drop and forget the whole thing.
