Why do we need a "good dialogue" on Islam? Why right now on DCUM?

Your post in isolation might not have been too bad but it wasn't in isolation. There were a bunch of worse messages as well. Moreover, even before this morning I had removed a half-doze or so posts.

I see. Thanks for responding.

Let's see. So far this morning you have:

1) submitted a report telling me to delete a thread about Atheism;

2) started a thread about finding your faith; and

3) started this thread.

Such a busy little beaver. But, despite all that energy you have, you must not have read either of the threads that I removed. The Islam thread was started by a poster who immediately got upset by the negative replies and abandoned DCUM. The last several posts were all anti-Islam. Do you really want me to leave a thread so that a religion can be bashed?

The thread about Christianity was either a joke or a troll. The entire thing was about fake Christians. The very first sentence was, "I cannot answer your questions." Again, is that the type of thread that you want me to leave?

This morning, two separate threads were deleted in the religious forum. The first was by a Muslim poster, offering to answer questions about Islam. The second by a Christian poster, who said to learn about Christianity, read the New Testament.

Why were those two threads deleted?
