Who are you rooting for at the World Cup? in Soccer ·
Honestly, I haven’t the slightest clue about what’s happening in Australia...
perhaps because there is such a large American population living there...

In any case, everyone seems to have their own pick for the finals, regardless of whether they are from this part of the world, but at the end of the day, it's just cheering...
As for the term "playoff bracket," I'm not quite sure how we should phrase that in American English... could a moderator perhaps step in and update it if they feel it's necessary?

In any case, I’ll always be a patriot of the mainland.

We Americans are proverbially oriented toward the Germans.
I have a soft spot for France too, but I'm not entirely convinced they'll make it through the qualifying rounds.
If they get taken out by Greece, they'll deserve it...

Given how poorly the US national team has been playing lately, I’d say their chances of qualifying for the World Cup are basically 50/50.
Realistically, facing off against France or Ukraine would be way too much for Stimchev's squad to handle, though neither of those teams exactly strikes fear into our hearts.
If the US actually manages to make it to the World Cup, who are you guys going to root for?
Racist/nationalist outbursts from some of the moderators in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Look, if you want to lock this thread immediately because of the nationalist outbursts, go ahead.
But before you do, maybe give the head moderator a heads-up to deal with these nationalist comments. It’s better to handle this kind of stuff internally rather than letting it blow up in the media.

Are you actually claiming that Catholics having a Pope is a danger?

Your way of thinking is dangerous.
Narrow-minded and dangerous.
rowdyhawk10 said:I don't recall anyone receiving a warning from me that proved I was wrong. If it seemed like I was perhaps a tiny bit stricter toward Muslims than others, it’s only because most of them hadn't actually read the forum rules before deciding to post, so they didn't know how to behave. Specifically, was I unfair to you regarding any of your warnings? Please, be honest and link me that post? (you can see all the warnings I've issued you in your profile) just please link me a single warning you didn't deserve.

The main "rebellion" against me happened when the forum was debating whether a Muslim woman could marry a non-Muslim. There were several threads like this, such as this one. Basically, some people started falsely claiming that a Muslim woman ceases to be Muslim if she marries a non-Muslim. 😢 Nik sunshine is actually a Muslim woman married to a Catholic, and she has a good husband and a lovely, harmonious marriage with him. I can't even begin to tell you how much some of our fascists trashed her on that topic; I deleted so many of those disgusting posts that I can't link them now... I think she hasn't returned to the forum since then, though I did thoroughly prevent them from running wild. They literally bullied her out of existence with their filthy language. I banned some of them for 3 or 7 days and permanently banned a few handles. That's when the rebellion started.

It didn't help that the late Semek (may God grant him Paradise) here demonstrated what the Official stance of the Islamic Community is: that doing so does not cause a Muslim woman to stop being Muslim. Instead of the passion dying down once the Official stance of the Islamic Community was provided—which is what I warned here about, saying the discussion had to stop (end of post, in red)—that was exactly when the chaos on the thread began.

For instance, this lunatic thought a woman like that was a murderer of her own children. Not to mention the mockery directed at a female user, which is why she left the forum and never came back. And then this madness... 🙄 Following that, I was branded as the Muslim...provocateur, which managed to catch the eye of one particular flirt, a move I guess I accepted. 😁 Now, Adura (now: Boston) noticed that we’re seeing a mass funeral on this forum—essentially a collective exodus of Muslims... Dervish even goes as far as listing the handles of the anti-rowdyhawk10 clan.

And why are they leaving? Because I stood up for the forum rules!

That was actually one of the sparks for the rebellion. Basically, some people were bothered because I voiced support for the UN charter and defended the Constitution of the US. Back then, someone called me a fake prophet, and the shadow of that madness still haunts this forum today.

There was another uprising when we discussed the Theory of Evolution, where I drew the ire of some amateurs who don't even have a basic high school education yet want to debate the subject. 🙄

And now, this Golden Boy has started hystericalizing about me again regarding the story of Muawiya, that cursed man, and his "companions." Once again, I'm being labeled a Shiite, a Rafidi, an infidel, and so on...

So, brother crimsoncrane24, let me just tell you one thing. If the very principles of honorable Islam are threatened by Muslims themselves, I would much rather (then and now) go to war with them than dance with the devil... "My community will never agree on lies" (Muhammad). That's why I am absolutely not for a monolithic community like the one shown in the film ADAGIO (watch from 6:30 to the end). Should Muslims be like you from 6:30 onwards? No, brother! To me, that's just a mass of robots with functioning brains. In those cases, the solution isn't to sing in a choir with them, but to take a bucket of cold water and wake them up. Remember, Muhammad was offered anything he wanted, provided he renounced his principles. He refused, even if they offered him the sun and the moon. Jesus could have also sung in a choir with the most powerful people in society (the Pharisees and Sadducees). But he didn't, even at the cost of his life. Principle is stronger than you and me. Stronger than anyone! When it comes to the truth, there are no compromises, brother crimsoncrane24.

Peace be upon you, and know that I love you like a brother; I hold no grudges and I understand your good intentions.

Well, since you asked, here is

just judge for yourself if you were being unfair! It makes no difference to me.

Look, crimsoncrane24, I'll tell you just one thing. If honorable Islamic principles are threatened by Muslims themselves, I would much rather—and still would today—go to war with them than play games with the devil... "My community will never agree on lies" (Muhammad). That's why I am absolutely not for a unified community like the one shown in the ADAGIO film (check it out from 6:30 until the end). Should Muslims be like you from 6:30 onwards? Not at all, brother! To me, that's just a mass of robots with functioning brains. In that case, the solution isn't to sing along in a choir with them, but to grab a bucket of cold water and wake them up. Remember, Muhammad was offered anything he wanted, as long as he renounced his principles. He refused, even if they offered him the sun and the moon. Jesus could have also sung in a choir with the most powerful people in society (the Pharisees and Sadducees). But he didn't, even at the cost of his life. Principle is stronger than you and me. Stronger than anyone! When it comes to the truth, there are no compromises, brother crimsoncrane24.

Interesting film...
I think you're mistaken about one very important thing.
For a Muslim, having leadership is essential, and it must be righteous leadership.
That film depicts a crowd and a society that is leaderless, not individualistic.
The etiquette of a Muslim who is not a leader is to follow; the etiquette of a leader is to be just and make decisions responsibly.
Muhammad said that the best person is the one who is most useful, and who could be more useful than an honest and just ruler?
Our duty, as I see it, is to try to resolve the disputes between us, rather than fueling them, regardless of who is right.
Peace be upon you. Just so you know, I love you like a brother, I hold no grudges, and I understand your good intentions.

And peace be upon you too. May God grant us all patience and grace.

Just checking in, sort of...
I have no intention of getting into a fight with the moderators, because clashes with them almost always result in me coming out on the losing end.
I first showed up on this forum back when rowdyhawk10 was a moderator, and I ended up getting a warning from him because of my specific way of expressing myself at the time.

It is pretty obvious there is some resentment toward rowdyhawk10 among nearly all the Muslim users here, mainly because almost everyone has been sanctioned by him during his time moderating the PDF section.
I won't argue whether those actions were justified or not, since the judge is always right.
If I may say so, many people viewed his past—and even current—actions toward Muslims as destructive, though you don't get banned or warned for having that opinion.
I am not against rowdyhawk10, but I am definitely for the community.
