It would be impossible for us to close down every thread that deviated a little from the original topic as that would be most of the threads on the forum.

Why close couldn't the post that has deviated be moved to a new thread ?

Although I think some of us have totally gone away from the topic of the da vicini code thread with the hijab issue  

Ok I seriously feel like Rodney Dangerfield cause I seriously feel I get no respect. Ok a couple topics I had were moved into a different section neither one with a clarification by the moderators as to why they were moved and both are arguable that either one specifically addressed to Muslim or to my Islamic faith. Now to the moderators now I understand that you guys maybe understaffed as far as moderating  and in that I'm not trying with my best intentions to give any of you guys are hard time. Although I do find that some decision may be made not by rules but because of personal reasons.

Now in certain subjects I have seen for example when we discuss how horrible America is it starts off initally as a discussion then it leads to desconstructive arguments that turn into bickering. Now my concern here is that the moderators create a system where if the post are deemed to be off track then kindly delete any post that with a kind reminder to make post directly relating to the subject. I don't see any problem with that seeing how I assume that the moderators every day review every post made on the forums I assume.

If you allow this, then this only allows misunderstanding as AbRah had made a subject similar where I thoiught it was addressing the movie "The Da Vinci Code" but really was addressing other things unrelating to the movie. If you don't at least correct this gray area then why correct others who bicker and thus? Basically it all leads to the same thing: The derailing of topics.

I'm with Israfil on this.  I went back and reread over several of the moved topics.  I'm still kinda foggy on why topics like "I'm Going to Hell" get moved to the Intra-Faith, when the topic was discussing the acceptance of other faiths and the disbelief that we can judge who is going to hell or not.  This is definitely a problem with many faiths.

Mormons - If you're not Mormon, you aren't getting into the Celestial Kingdom

Catholics - Shhh, they think their the only ones here (taken from an old joke, I love you Patty, not supposed to be a bounce on you.)

Muslims - The Kafir will feel the Hellfire

Jews - aaaahhh, your all crazy, we're the chosen of God

Born Agains - You must be Born Again of Jesus or you're doomed to Hell.....here, read this pamphlet. 

I'm sure I could make a list of Wiccans, Buddhists and others......

The fact is Israfil posted an interfaith discussion and yet the Moderators (who normally do a great job) randomly evoked the Rule #20 without really talking to the people of that thread or the thread creator. 

Question becomes, if Israfil posts another thread on religious tolerance in Interfaith, is it going to be moved again?????
