You can't let one poster get under your skin.  I have seen Muslima jump into religious conversations specifically posted about Christ in the religion forum and speak about how in Islam he is only a respectable prophet.  It never occurs to her that it is offensive to those who have a different belief system to constantly interject herself in conversations and, yes, derail, in the name of her Prophet.  I sense she believes it is her right and obligation to interject her belief system anywhere she deems fit but some deem this as proselytizing.  She might note that as passionate as she is about her belief system, there are others who feel the same about theirs and would appreciate respect when she invites herself into Christian conversations that are not about the Prophet Muhammad.  Yes, I know I've ventured a bit off topic.

I happen to like the moderator whether bumping heads or not.  There isn't one person alive who doesn't have or enjoy a good go-round (especially with some good zingers) when talking politics.  Respectfully, I do think that Muslima has been given a forum to espouse her religious and political beliefs with absolutely minimal reproach (and I'm not talking about giving free reign to the crazies who believe that immigrants should be shipped back in crates or that Obama is responsible for your disconnected phone).

While I think Muslima's purpose is to educate about her religion and promulgate her political views (nothing wrong with that), I hope the same free speech that is afforded her (regardless whether it is Christianity or Judaism) would be afforded to someone who might come along who is verbal like her and allow them to espouse their religious views/beliefs without condemnation even if it's in the political forum as she has frequently done.

Just my viewpoint.  ;-)

Thanks for the thoughtful post! I know, I shouldn't let her get under my skin, and I should always respond like an adult. I'm a lefty who reads the Guardian every day and who has lived in other countries, so I consider myself very tolerant. Perhaps there's something about untruth or unfairness that bugs me in general, and my cup runs over where she's concerned. But, I need to take a break, clearly.[/quote]
