Infraction for 'insult' and 'intolerance'

[XKiRaX]

Didn't know about the existence of this feedback channel before. I'd like to enquire on an issue from last month.

Pls advise on whether the infraction is warranted, so I can learn to better moderate my postings in the future. Thanks

How strange. Especially when i clearly specified I didn't mean 'barbarian' as an insult.

barbarian - definition of barbarian by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

bar·bar·i·an (bär-bâr-n)
n.
1. A member of a people considered by those of another nation or group to have a primitive civilization.

Objectively speaking, are religious scriptures not laws from people thousands of years ago?

How is my statement inaccurate, insulting or intolerant?

This breaches Penal Code Section 298, 298A regarding religious and racial harmony. As such, the infraction will not be reversed.

Islam originated from people in Saudi Arabia, thousands of years ago.

bar·bar·i·an (bär-bâr-n)
n.
1. A member of a people considered by those of another nation or group to have a primitive civilization.


Therefore it is not wrong to say they are teaching laws of barbarians, and that it is 'nothing new', given that people take pride in there being no amendments.


I did clarify that I was not using the word in an offensive way, though you chose to omit that part of my post. You can see it here:

Does the moderation in this forums have no respect for an objective, secular, and if I dare say, academic viewpoint on religion? By quoting the penal code, are you judging that all of such viewpoints are only aimed at promoting enmity and with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings?
