Good question. This was described as a "hit list". It certainly was a list of people who were carrying out a legitimate (if wrong-headed) consensus.

We do need to consider the question of how we deal with users who have strong Islamist points of view.
Why should "users who have strong Islamist points of view" be treated any differently than anyone else? As long as these user follow the rules and work within the model of NPOV, etc., why should there be a problem. How do we deal with people that have stong <insert other belief system here> point of view?
I do think we should always be open to reconsideration of a decision on any particular issue. Consensus once does not mean consensus always. --LV
