If a muslim were to post something like:
I see it as my duty to force non muslims under the sharia, which will include fighting people like you!
that would not violate the forum rules (at least that is how I understood it)
Honestly, that's something I couldn't give you an answer on before the fact, for a variety of reasons.
One, it takes a quorum of staff to decide such matters. Two, the statement is devoid of any context whatsoever - and it's not possible without such context to determine if the threat is credible, or in jest. Third, the threat is vague and not directed at anyone in particular.
This hypothetical is probably one of the edge cases where there might be staff on both sides, some in favor of taking action, and some opposed - so it's hard to say which way it might go.
Does that answer your question?
