And Christians are bad Christians when they eat shellfish. There are two options: speak more moderately--as invited to multiple times--or, inevitably, leave. I do not want this--you are knowledgable and intelligent and an asset to the board on other topics--but if fighting what you believe to be the scourge of Islam is so important that you must pursue it here in spite of repeated admonitions, then I'll go through the motions and press the buttons. We, the moderators and our site hosts, have discussed your case multiple times and have reached the conclusion that there is no more we can do. From now on it's just warnings and expulsion.
Please see sense, drop the bone and give us your opinion on cryptids, Jack the Ripper, UFOs or folklore.
Please explain in detail exactly what part of the terms and rules I have broken. I need specific examples of how I have performed defamatory, abusive, hateful, or threatening comments against members of this forum in my most recent post. You have never called me out for my political opinions, which are every bit as inflamatory. You haven't called me out for my criticisms of Catholicism or Fundamentalist Christianity in the USA.
This is a deliberate double standard and I want you to account for it please. I am quite happy to leave FT and never come back over this if need be. I am not making an uninformed case. I speak, read and write Arabic with passable proficiency and have offered sanctuary to ex-Muslims in my home, so my position isn't one of knee-jerk xenophobia. On the whole I am very much in favor of cultural pluralism & diversity, and my politics are generally left leaning, though increasingly centerist. For that diversity to work however the cultures involved have to be capable of behaving in a civilized and tolerant fashion. I have seen very little evidence to suggest that people of the Islamic faith are properly capable of this without becoming a threat to the people around them. My position, if anything, is probably too well informed on the matter of Islam. Have you ever lived in a Muslim country Yith? I certainly have. Not good. My position is one founded on a considered philosophical and political observation over years of experience. In my teens I was very open minded towards Islam, and inclined to think they had a case against Israel's treatment of them; now I know too much.
