The mods need to make a decision sometime soon. It doesn't matter whether a majority or minority of members agree; mods should ask if there is enough room for offense to be taken, if that is healthy for the forum.
Razzab, it doesn't follow that AH's comments in other threads are not harmful enough for us to request he change his nick. If his comments are offensive, the mods should deal with them separately as they do with all posters. So while you may want to research the members posting records to understand him/her better, the central issue is that the offense is made/perceived/received at first glance, not after reading all the member's posts. I may personally agree with all of AH's posts on Israeli aggression (haven't read them), but that is not the point.
As Bangladeshis and for those of us who are Muslims, it is hard enough to make the case for an intelligent, progressive and peaceful Islam. We need to make intelligent arguments against the stupidity of many Israeli/US policies that cost so many lives across the globe on a daily basis. We don't need to be anti-Semitic while doing that. AH's nick detracts from anything he is going to write on this forum, and it dilutes his message.
