Human Rights is an umbrella including religious rights too.

Touché.

I do hope you understand, however, despite what a good idea this sub forum idea is, there is no way they’re allowing it. Not because of you, but it’s just how they are. Change is good, but apparently it’s never good for this forum. It’s one of the reason’s I left, and will probably be why I leave again.

The voting result would be the conclusion on this.
Though; when this forum loses the fight under surrenders to the waves of bots and trolls -the same wave that ruined the Internet-, it will lose its soul and it will lose itself with it.

Humans have already began migrating from forums to social media almost a decade ago -like Twitter- where places like AF spawn naturally and bots/mechanical responses are way easier to detect and ignore; even block and prosecute.

Still; I have a bit of faith about this place, and that I will finally see Human Rights being protected by it via a specified section.

You 2 need to get a room.

It really doesn't need it's own category. Neither does climate change, racism, corruption, etc
Plenty of scope here to broadly cover all topics. You guys are shooting the postman. Post the topics you care about or don't.
But don't blame the forum structure. Kit posted his gay thread under news and current affairs. All good, life goes on. No-one really even notices the category.
No God, No fear.

I really wonder how a serious thread about Human Rights got converted to bashing my religion in previous responses.
That's a dangerous bias problem.

The concept held by some of us that you would use a Human Rights section as a protected area for you to continue your bashing of religions other than yours  and the ranting about the unfair treatment by your ill-defined Westerners is based on the bulk of your posts.  It's not like people who have been around here awhile aren't familiar with the drum you continue to beat.

But I proved for years that I keep my promises and don't fool people; and I made my promise.
Face it: your only problem with this whole idea is that it's coming from a Muslim, the xenophobic nature you -and others- display have nothing to do with me, but everything to do with my chosen faith.

Nothing is enough to gain a foothold here; neither years nor authenticity. I will never gain your trust unless I denounce my faith; then you will treat me as a hero. The pattern became so clear; but my grip on Islam will strengthen the more you keep on this attitude. We can see how Islamophobia manifested by observing your attitude.

Just read the comment of "ignoramus" again for example to recognize that there's a non-Muslim privilege that even the most extreme xenophobic people have.

Actually, your blind hate doesn't create friends, but create the most loyal people to their faith.
So keep it up.

But you keep having minions that fool you to get an immigration visa.
Treat those minions good because they are all what you have, but you will never get honesty because -simply-: you spent all your life suffocating it and running away from it.

Those who voted yes: thank you Smile thank you for not buying into the negative thoughts ^_^

Paranoid much? The failure of your idea for a new section wasn’t the result of your being Muslim - it was just a bad idea.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - preventing you from posting about human rights on this Forum. The lack of a dedicated ‘Human Rights’ section doesn’t change that. The idea that someone may miss a thread you make on the topic of human rights just because it’s not in a dedicated section is just silly (it’s pretty evident that the membership at large read and respond to your posts).

You lost a vote, nothing else has changed.

RE: Human Rights Section: the voting topic
arewethereyet's comment exposed the biased, xenophobic/Islamophobic mentality a lot have in this forum.
Nothing you say would take off what she said

So after her comment and ignoramus comment; you come here to insert a more diplomatic reply to save some face ?
