A WorldNews mod removed this comment and banned me from WorldNews, claimed in the modlog for ‘trolling, islamophobia’. An admin then restored the comment, but the ban is apparently still in place.
Does this mod’s summary judgement of this comment mean I’m forever banned from WorldNews?
EDIT: I realized you can filter by mods to find out who banned me. It was @Newsman, but I looked about a couple hours later and they’re no longer mods in World News, but looks like I’m still banned. Oh well, at least they’ve been shown the door. That’s progress.
I’m a bit torn on your comment. I agree that many misuse the term ‘Islamophobia’ to describe legitimate criticism of Islam. But I’ve also seen truly ‘Islamophobic bigotry’ firsthand so I’m not sure I can agree it’s not or shouldn’t be a ‘legitimate’ term for those cases just because it’s misused in others.
