I'm just curious, and obviously you don't have to answer, but I had the same observation myself (that posters are free to bash Christians and Jews without your intervention) -- what is your particular interest? Since you said you don't know what goes on on all the other threads where people rip apart Jews and Christians, it must be because you aren't interested in them. Are you Muslim? I ask so I can understand your position regarding how you monitor these threads. Again, it's none of my business otherwise and you are free (of course) to not answer. Just curious.[/quote]

No. I am not Muslim. I was raised as a protestant Christian but stopped practicing a long time ago. I have studied Islam and lived in the Middle East. By personality, I am drawn to underdogs. There is a huge amount of prejudice against Arabs and Muslims. Just as I once protested against Apartheid, though I am not black or South African, and supported gay rights even though I am not gay, and stand for the rights of a host of other groups of which I am not a member, I will stand up for Muslims and Arabs.

I got involved in the other thread only after it was reported to me (and I declined to do anything) and another poster specifically asked for my thoughts. I did not get involved in this thread until a poster specifically called me out by name. I guarantee that if similar things were happening in threads involving other religions, I would react similarly (and I have). However, it also must be said that the other religions have many much more able defenders than me. Not that Muslima and the other poster do a bad job, but there are only two of them.
