In case it helps (I&#x27;m a moderator at HN), every user who is here in the spirit of intellectual curiosity belongs on HN. That includes our Muslim users as much as all others. We have a large, international community, so tolerance of differences is critical.<p>It&#x27;s ok to explore the specifics of a current situation if one does so civilly and substantively. But when someone attacks Islam <i>per se</i>, that is a religious flamewar and we tell them it is not allowed: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?sort=byDate&amp;prefix&amp;page=0&amp;dateRange=all&amp;type=comment&amp;query=by:dang%20religious%20flamewar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?sort=byDate&amp;prefix&amp;page=0&amp;dateRange=...</a>. The goal is to avoid flamewars, in which vitriol is exceeded only by tedium—the same thing we seek to avoid everywhere.<p>Since Rumi is no less Islamic than ISIS, the discussions this excludes are not serious. HN can do without puerile generalization, and amateurs with a copy of the Quran and an idée fixe can conduct their exegesis elsewhere.
