I know you can’t and shouldn’t identify or link to the board, but can you let us know generally who was running it? Was it a newspaper, college, political group?
Sorry you had that experience. Was everyone who remotely took your side banned outright?
Jesus! 
It was plainly called ‘the Islamic forum’ under the site name of gawaher.com.
I’ve been banned twice I got banned for ‘promoting Zionism and supporting the occupation’
And all I said was that the Muhajadeen used to be in cahoots with the U.S gov, so its claim to be fighting the ‘infidel’ is tainted, plus, it basically comes down to the fact that the Muhajadeen will fight everyone different from their intolerant brand of Islam eventually.
Giraffe has it spot on. A lot of web messageboards are dominated by people like that. I believe a substantial fraction of these people are trolls. They get a high on riling up people.
All right, so it’s the Islam version of David Duke’s site, or maybe Stormfront…
Interesting quote. Where can I find it ?
In the most popular book in the world.
In the Valley of the Dolls?
No, you fool, Dr. Spock’s Guide to Baby Care.
Ain’t it a shame that, what with the internet and all the immediate access to all sorts of information, so many people still go to bed stupid?
Heheh… I think I like this one better.

So you’re a spelling Nazi?
I’m sorry, but when words are spelled so badly that they morph into other words and change the meaning of what’s being said, pointing it out isn’t being a nazi of any kind, it’s just being helpful.
KJV:Matthew 7:6 – Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
NIV:Matthew 7:6 – Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
And the traditional rendering of the other aphorism is:
“Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig enjoys it.”
Uh… what was “agravate” morphing into? I just left out a “g”.
For the record, I was trying to be helpful, but was also amused by GaWd catching me with Gaudere’s law*. His parody of my post was pretty damn funny. And then Mr. Eckers tried to catch GaWd with Gaudere’s Law to extend the joke, but it kinda bogged down from there. I don’t think anybody was actually accusing anybody of being a Nazi.
*For those who don’t know, it states that whoever corrects the language in a post is doomed to make an error in the post correcting the first post.
I know it’s all PC and everything to say that “this is the minority”; but Irshad Manji says differently.
I would like to really know how much of this thought is widespread among Muslims.
Minority, but a fucking loud and vocal minority. That spoils it for all the moderates.
Irshad Manji what are we saying about her, shes bad for muslims, is she harming moderate muslim chances?
Not at all. She’s one of the “good guys” so to speak. However those who are criticising her are the loud and unfortunately vocal minority.
Phew, ok cool!
Don’t worry, I don’t think all muslims are misguided, I wouldn’t be in the process of dating one if I thought that
How’re the two of you handling the culture clashes? And do her parents know?
I ask out of curiosity, and of being a Muslim woman dating a non-Muslim man.
Am in the process, its nothing definate, I know this may sound silly, do you use a messenger service? I ask because I’d like someone like you to help me with clashes and such if they’ll arise.
