Anyone banned yet?

[Mehboob Alam]

I see the thread continue unabated, but I have no wish to be banned.

But, I don't find the discussion offensive, and it's better than misinformation and misunderstanding be discussed and rectified, but under Chuck's threat of banning from ALL lists, I will just watch the discussion from the sidelines.

That, is the effect of "censorship".

sincerely,
mehboob alam

it looks like no one got banned.
And people got more upset about this than about any provocation I
uttered here ;-)


cheers,

There seems to be a message here for those dismayed that more  
moderate Muslims are not actively opposing the acid-throwers and  
decapitators.

the problem for modern muslims is that they receive death threads from
Imams, if they open their mouth to wide, like Salam Rushdie. I knew a
teacher, who kept his mouth shut, because of this - only private talk
please ....
