That would seem to be a rather obvious missing rule on a particular forum that is so closely regulated.
I believe practioners of Islam are a threat to America. I dont know all practitioners of Islam. I heard there were some really nice sufis and lahore Ahmadis. I see Major Hassan was granted a delay to prepare this case by our military justice system.

?

That rule is not missing, that rule will never be here. If you want that rule, go back to JJ.

/debate, carry on with thread

interesting, changing the words of a contributor and then attributing that quote to her/him is not a violation. if anything would seem to interfere with honest discussion it would be that. As I already stated though I dont report anyone for anything, it would violate free expression. Actually you should be complimented for dropping from your rules some of the restrictions on free speech, only one of the present four rules acts to limit the type politcal conversation that has made our democracy the envy of the world

I'm not changing any rules. Quoting someone and changing the quote does not change what they said. If they logged into your account and edited your post, they would get in trouble for that, but I see no problem with someone trying to prove a point by changing a quote. BTW, you have no right to free speech on a forum. This is a private forum. No restrictions have been dropped from the previous forum.

Like I said, /debate. If you want to talk about this more, PM me, but this will not carry on in this thread.

What do I think about the delay that was granted? I think that the system is working accordingly and it will work accordingly when he is found guilty and sentenced to death.

You believe that practioners of Islam are a threat to America? I'm assuming you only mean some because you are again being vague and are just playing semantics at this point.

I can agree with you if you made a statement saying SOME practioners of a radical form of Islam are a threat to this company, but I refuse to make a bigoted blankets statement like "practioners of Islam are a threat to our country" because that is not accurate.

Are all or even most practitioners of Islam terrorists threats to this country, no.
Are there roots of violence toward non believers tracing directly to the founder of lslam, yes.
