the world faces one war after another due to this problem of Islamic extremism and terrorism.

Just to name a few in recent past (and on going).

Iran war

Palestine war

Operation Sindoor.

If you see the incident I posted from Twitter, this is current news. News like this are a daily occurrence.

The Iranian government has not just killed protestors. They have killed the minorities that stayed and those who were unfortunate to not be able to escape. Just last week they executed an 18 year old athlete and another 16 year old has been convicted to be executed.

Pakistan has bombed a hospital in Afghanistan and the world has been largely silent.

When will humanity kick in and the world will get together and say “no more” and together work towards eradicating and eliminating this problem

I am Charlie Hebdo. I will not be silenced.

If anyone thinks they won by having a thread locked, there are many social media platforms where I can carry my message. So in case you believe you succeeded, I will not be silenced and that’s a promise I intend to keep.

A Muslim philanthropy group at Indiana university reportedly organized fundraising training programs with a Turkish nonprofit that the U.S. government recently sanctioned as a "sham charity" accused of secretly funding Hamas as well as Islamic revivalist Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Philanthropy Initiative, part of the School of Philanthropy, allegedly co-organized training programs alongside Hayat Yolu, according to a LinkedIn post and a local outlet report dating back as far as seven months ago.


The Department of the Treasury last Thursday designated Hayat Yolu as a key player in a covert global network that uses the guise of humanitarian aid to raise money overseas. Officials say the group funnels funds to Gaza that directly support Hamas and its military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and serves as a financial hub and headquarters for the Muslim Brotherhood.

The accuracy of civilian death reports out of Gaza remains questionable. All numbers come from the Gaza Health Ministry, which is controlled by the militant group Hamas. There is little transparency around how the totals are calculated.

As the Associated Press reported, the Health Ministry does not differentiate between civilians and armed militants in its reporting. It simply labels all deaths as resulting from "Israeli aggression."

This ambiguity means reported civilian deaths may include Hamas or other terrorist fighters killed in Israeli strikes. The IDF claims over 8,000 militant deaths since October (again, at the time of this writing). If accurate, that would reduce reported civilian deaths by nearly 50% and lower the civilian deaths by air strikes to something along these lines:

  • Total bombs dropped: 45,000

  • Civilian deaths: 14,000

  • Average civilian deaths per air strike: 0.31

I have decided to not have discussion on this forum after speaking with moderators.

This is their forum and it’s their right to moderate as they see fit. Freedom in our world is a two way street.

Here are my issues why i will not further engage here

1. they wish to only discuss Iran war with attacks being made by either side it seems. I am not interested in just that


2. Discussion of any way requires understanding of issues. This war campaign in Iran that was initiated by US and Israel had clearly stated reason of going after an Islamist extremist regime that has committed atrocities on population, sponsored global terrorism and nuclear power and missiles post a threat to the world.

3 Teenagers in my extended family operate at a higher level than what is expected here when they go for discussions in places like Model UN

4. The threat that Islamic extremism and terrorism that is posed to the world and not isolated on just Iran has been a known problem for a while now and is an ongoing problem. This requires broad discussion on variety of topics. This is not possible here

5. Members that love to silence us are given leeway and succeed in getting topics closed. One member that attacked me yesterday said we should bend our knees to Osama Bin Laden and is still around. There are certain Lakhsman Rekha’s that should be held firm and should result in immediate removal of such members. That is clearly not the case here and I can see that enables them even more

6. These are the same members that speak of Hindutva in a negative light, attack you at the mention of Islamic extremism and terrorism and after complaining to mods that you are harassing them, they quote you wanting to converse with them. A teenage moderator should be able to see through this statecraft where no one first accuses you repeatedly of harassment to mods and then continues to quote you.

7. It doesn’t seem like there is a main boss that can actually control anyone here,if there are rogue moderators and members even. The structure is clearly broken.

8. I contribute in positive ways to discussions and meaningful dialogue. So this place is not for me and it is their right to run this place their way.

I am Charlie Hebdo. I am not silenced. I will never be silenced. I will find better social media platforms where such discussions can be had without labels and attacks (which can’t be stopped but better moderated). So they haven’t won. I am just going to find a better platform.

Moderators please close this thread.

i was told to copy Vijay on this site but i am not able to. He can read it if he wants and cares.

Good decision. This forum is being run by peacefuls and their enablers. It has bare minimum FOE, you suffer personal attacks, and if you reply in the same tone you get wl raise. And when despite overcoming all these hurdles your posts get deleted or you get banned u wonder what's the point. Koi paisa mil raha hai kya jo in sabke bawajood yaha post karke apna khoon jalao? X is full of quality information and has reasonable FOE. I'll just read my news & views there.
