We have a lot of tremendous mods. Some with a great sense of humor, some with a world of experience, some with a level of maturity that astounds us all. Many wonder what does it take to be a mod. FOr religion, do you have to be brought up in a madrassah? Having been a personal aide to the mullah with the appropriate relationship trappings. Or in the political forum being detained in guatanamo. Or in the World forum being declared a refugee with the regular chips on the shoulder.
I have noticed that in the Political & religious forums the mods delete posts without any explanations. Are they qualified to do that, I mean not just as mods but with knowledge backing their decisions or are they overcompensating for their tiny richards?
If this gets deleted I won’t be surprised, but I am hoping people like Mursalin, Outlaw, Akif and Madhanee can step up to the plate and show why they are the absolute authority on politics, religion and world affairs. I would love to know, which NGO they worked at, which publications they edit, what governmnt agency they have headed up in their lifetime or which ivy league policy wonkish school they went to. Becuae for weeks my posts get deleted without reason, there is no profanity and they have been certainly topical. If you don’t want liberal hindu Indian American on this BB than put that in the mission statement, everything else is uncivilized and reeks of myopia.
I am expecting some courteous answers from the powers that be.
As a matter of fact, this complaint can be found in different forms in all the forums, not just political/religious. Many folks in Cafe and general can be found complaining about lack of their ability to flood. Folks in image complain about thumbnails. Folks in corner room complain about not enough freedom. ah...well, the basic premise of all complaints is the same...a desire to get around the system defined policies, and in short, break the rules.
Now Im not saying that the rules in religion/politics are right, or even fair. No rule or law can ever be universally fair. It always ends up hurting someone. But rules definitely streamline the working of a system..and thats what we try to do.
I guess, to simplify my response to your complaint, no, Im not an expert in politics or religion. The main priority is to impose the policies, so as to make the forum favorable to the 'majority'. Its impossible to please everyone, so we will always have complainants.

maybe change the name from 'religion discussion forum' into 'religion propaganda forum'?
as an example: user "Pakistani Abroad" opened a very good thread about Isra and Miraj, but was closed by the mod with a VERY CHEAP excuse. little later another member opened a thread with the same name, and continued where user "Pakistani Abroad" stopped. This one wasn't closed. The sole reason being that the Moderator didn't agree with the point of view of user "Pakistani Abroad" but he did agree with the other user....this is a form of 'propaganda' to say the least.

Thanks Chalta hai for a good lesson in antonyms......
Libral = Hindu
Indian = American
Libralism and hinduism are two totally antithetical concepts ....Which I shall reveale in any other forum than in feed back.
Being Indian and American at the same time is like being male and female at the same time ...may be works for u ......but not for the masses.
