Thank you.

It's much easier to alert them to alleged 'hatred' and 'racism' by using the report a post button, on the weekend you can get them alerted faster by scrolling down to the bottom and using the 'contact us' feature.

Ah, now I see why the thread I was posting on vanished out from under me.
Next time get rid of the post, not the whole thread. It was an interesting topic, and the whole thread shouldn't have been pulled.
From what I saw, you objected from the first post, which wasn't a hate post at all, so I guess it must have gotten bad later ( I tried to answer after your post, which was maybe the second post, so that's all I saw before it vanished) but you were out of line calling the very first posts racist.

Such a generalization instigates pronounced and sweeping "hate" toward the religion as a whole.
We cannot allow such behavior at Thoughts.com

Even and balanced discussion is allowed, hateful generalizations are not.

Can't you people read? Do you have a copy of my OP?

Sawdust,
We apologize for any confusion we may have created by our discription above.
We also sincerely apologize if our decision to remove the thread has upset you.
We understand that your intention was to have a civil conversation.
Yet, we must maintain that the way that the thread was approached was with an "anti-muslim" bias.

The post inferred that people of the Muslim faith are not to be trusted given that some fractions, of the large and diverse faith, espouse fanatical views.

Such a statement could be said about many religions, and if a generalization was made about how every Christian should not be trusted because certain individuals of that faith have killed in the name of God, we would promptly remove that content as well.

We appreciate your input and thoughts, and in no way what to inhibit your ability to express concern about the safety of our troops.

We simply, ask that such dialogue be more mindful about not making assumptions based on fear and "guilty by association" rational about individuals prescribing to a particular belief.

The conversation, we feel, would be far more productive if focused on the individual directly involved.
Perhaps, there are some very interesting points to be explored dealing with how possibly he or other extremists could have- from the same doctrine in which millions find a very peace based belief system, interpret one that justifies violence....
