I left aqaQA yesterday explaining my reasons - quotes from the Bible / religion etc... Colleen as a moderator look at the arguments here on this thread today about Muslims. You yourself as a moderator could be seen to be inflaming issues here. If your President is black, green, red or yellow - Catholic, athist or Muslim, that should make no difference. Judge people for WHO they are not because of their faith. You say this site is, and should not be used, as a platform for preaching. Unfortunantly it is! Why on Earth others can't see it is beyond me. Personal religious views on an International forum like this should be kept private. Collen with due respect, this site, as we all know, is a Question & Answers forum & should be based on fact - not based on personal opinions or ramming extracts from the Bible down peoples necks. There is a great difference betweem fact & personal opinion. IMHO you really do run a danger of being seen as a site that is against certain faiths which could cause problems for the future of aqaQA - i really hope not.
As a footnote here, as a British Soldier I have served with people from different countries, from all walks of life with many different faiths - & yes i have trusted those men with my life & visa versa - religion has never been an issue. Many of those good men have paid the ultimate price for World peace. The point here that i am trying highlight is that serving beside them the differences in regards of thier faiths has never been questioned - there is no place in the British Army for this type of narrow minded view & quite rightly so.
I am not interested in what faith anyone has on this forum, whether you worship the Sun the moon or you are a Muslim, Catholic, or a total non believer. I still class people here as equals & my friends - fellow human beings.
Think about this: how would you feel if verses from the Koran were posted on here along with not nice comments about your faith ..... and before you post your thoughts with knee jerk comments at least spend a few minutes to think about it & then post an honest answer without copy & pasting quotes from the Bible.
Comments on here: "ONLY THE MUSLIM ONES" - "Once a Muslim always a Muslim".
I really do owe this final post to my many friends on here - whatever your beliefs!

My wife suffered exactly the same during her first pregnancy - i'm sure it lasted on & off the whole 9 month term if memory serves me correctly.
Exactly what it says!
Just printing money causes devaluation of a currency. It also causes high inflation & lack of confidence on the international exchanges.
Religion & quotes from the bible again!
