Islam

[thejudderman]

Why does the government or any one else in authority, even answerbank admin suppress anyone's opinion that shows Islam for what it is??

[andy-hughes]

I don't believe that enforcement of stated Site Rules equates to suppression of opinion - regardless of the subject.

kvalidir, //'ve never had a question or response removed I don't think//

You posted something a few days ago that, according to ‘the rules', really should have been removed. Perhaps you’ve just been lucky.

[kvalidir]

Would you care to enlighten me what that might be Naomi?

[jim360]

"I've never had a question or response removed I don't think..."

Maybe you should just ask very nicely, sure someone will be happy to oblige :)

[kvalidir]

I really must try harder Jim, I'm sure I can manage it :)

[naomi24]

kvalidir, I don’t think so. I posted a one liner, repeating your post and simply saying I didn’t like it much. My post was removed. Your original remains.

[jackthehat]

They don't.
You only have to look in on AB on an hourly basis, or so, to see that there are a set of robust complaints about Islam/Muslims/AnswerBank.....

[kvalidir]

Perhaps your doubtless witty ' one liner' contravened Site Rules and my original post did not then? Who knows? Apparently the people who run the site :)

[naomi24]

kvalidir, It wasn't a laughing matter so no wit whatsoever involved. Your post was a gross insult to other users and I simply said I didn't like it - which I didn't, but hey ho...

In answer to the OP, on a broader scale, not just Islam, there is something called the Race Relations Act. The introduction of this abominable piece of legislation has turned lots of people in this country into racists because we daren't say anything about anyone who wasn't born here. If you include the advent of Political Correctness, that makes it worse. Repeal that act, and you will abolish anyone playing the racist card.

[kvalidir]

I'm sure if I had grossly insulted other users my post would have been removed rather than yours. I do think sometimes perhaps people don't like their opinions challenging in ways which equal the forthrightness of their own views. Since you refuse to direct me to the comment, and I can't remember it because frankly it's not that important, we are left entirely with your perspective on it, which since your comment was removed not mine, may or may not be accurate.

[ladybirder]

Was it on that Migrants Boat thread N?

10ClarionSt - // The introduction of this abominable piece of legislation has turned lots of people in this country into racists because we daren't say anything about anyone who wasn't born here. //

Your statement makes no sense.

I piece of legislation cannot 'turn people into racists' - racism is a mind set, it is not caused by legislation.


Similarly, perceiving that you cannot speak freely about non-native inhabitants does not make you a racist either.

[naomi24]

kvalidir, // I'm sure if I had grossly insulted other users my post would have been removed rather than yours.//

Are you? Well it wasn’t.

Ladybirder, it was on one of the threads relating to that and referred to those in disagreement as ‘remnants of the SS’.

[kvalidir]

Oh yes, I remember now and I stand by that. If people want to spout hate filled vitriol declaring they 'don't care if people die', or in one instance actually suggesting sinking the ships they are on, then what do they honestly expect to be compared with? If they are insulted by that comparison then I suggest they re-evaluate what they write to provoke it.

[Prudie]

hmmm like many I was reading the migrants thread and not joining in - I was worried if I said anything anti I'd be grouped with the SS

[jim360]

There have been exactly 0 posts removed from that thread. Not sure why you are fussing so much, N.

[naomi24]

Prudie. :o)

[naomi24]

Jim, you may call it 'fussing'. I call it an example of inconsistent moderation.

[kvalidir]

Except it isn't it is Naomi, because your comment was not removed so why the untruths and moaning? There was no inconsistency because despite you saying you were in some way censored you weren't, it's not true. See below:

Who, for the benefit of kvalidir and Spath, both of whom should be more selective in their choice holiday destinations, don’t spend their lives drunk and legless.

Incidentally kvalidir at 15:06. I see no remnants of the SS around here. You’re out of order. 16:57 Mon 11th Jun 2018
