Why couldn't all of this just have been explained on the other thread? I didn't even read it, but if being insulting or ignorant is against the rules on DCUM, there should be a lot of threads locked.

I don't think it's fair to cut people off for having negative opinions about Islam. It would be much more helpful if you could just dispute each claim, as you are doing in THIS thread. I'd also like to hear from the actual Muslims on whose behalf you keep speaking. There must be plenty of Muslims on DCUM, or I'm guessing there are anyway. It would be nice to have THEM speak up (rather than the one or two who seem to be doing all the posting). It would be much more meaningful to hear from regular people who feel the way you say they do, IMO.

I really didn't intend for this thread to go on so long (didn't really expect for it to start in the first place, for that matter). There are plenty of threads in the religion forum about Islam, most of which have plenty of negative opinions. Strange that you want to hear from Muslims, but not the "one or two" Muslims who have been posting. I could have left the original thread alone and those "one or two" would have responded and you still would not have been happy.

I agree with PP. Sorry you're surprised about this thread going on for so long, but I think she has a point. I don't personally find the "one or two" Muslims on that forum very knowledgeable about their own religion outside of how they practice it themselves. But they're still better than you shutting down threads started by non-Muslims and trying to speak for all Muslims here in the feedback forum; why notpost your opinions on those threads and let our resident Muslims speak for themselves.

I am not speaking for Muslims. I am speaking for me in order to explain why I locked the thread. I am going to lock this thread now because I think my position regarding the original thread has been adequately explained.
