Title: Recent posts in regard to Saudi Arabia and Islamic culture
Post by: Cindy on April 13, 2019, 07:43:23 PM

Over the last few days we had a new member post about her experiences in Saudi Arabia. I an deeply disturbed about some of the replies that she got.

It matters not on the validity of the person posting. That is a separate issue and has been dealt with.

There were posts that are contrary to TOS and to the spirit of the Forum and to what Susan's stands for.
I am unhappy with the bigotry and unacceptance of others.
I am unhappy with the casual disregard of belief that is foreign.
I am unhappy with the intent of the posts to belittle and disregard the culture, religion and acceptances of others.

I do not agree with the culture in Saudi Arabia.
I do not agree with what is happening in the USA but I do not denigrate it or those who do.

I also find it unsettling that an identified Islamic follower in a foreign country has been hounded. This comment stands true no matter the validity of the poster.

It worries me that they complained about intolerance from some members here and I find that complaint justified.
That is deeply disturbing and upsetting.

I expected more from a community that suffers so much intolerance in our daily lives and non-acceptance from others.
