I'm very disturbed by your comments. 0xFFC has not been uncivil, nationalistic, or even particularly political. He was merely pointing out that Maryam was representative of a society that is more diverse and tolerant than many people imagine -- an issue that she herself cared about and occasionally addressed. That is fair and on-topic social statement; his only nod to politics was the words "despite our theocratic regime", which I'd also add is a perfectly fair comment. And yet you slap him down and not davidf18, whose response is, in fact, overtly nationalistic and entirely off-topic. I would kindly ask you to rethink how you moderate this.
