Controversy can be controversial to deal with. The more controversial the issue, the more likely it is that only moderates will find a place to edit the work. This means that writing in both extreme support and extreme criticism are removed--preferably to the talk page for review. You wrote: "Islam would not be controversial if muslim had not gone around beheading infidels on TV, suicide bombing in London, Madrid, Kashmir, and today Egypt. I have been advocating including a link to a Ex-Muslim site directory that contains links to many anti-Islam sites."

By your own comments you have demonstrated your goal is to promote extreme views. Like other extreme anti-Muslim people, you claim that "Muslim" automatically equates to terrorist, and that in response to terrorism, you are promoting a "ex-Muslim" and "anti-Islam" sites. As you have expressed them, your views are not fitting for inclusion on Wikipedia, as they are not well enough formulated to represent legitimately critical views of Islam, by both Muslims and non-Muslims. And your stated agenda to promote links is in violation of policies that "wikipedia is not a soapbox" [[WP:SOAP]] and "wikipedia is not a links repository."

Islam page is controversial because Islam is controversial these days. Islam would not be controversial if muslim had not gone around beheading infidels on TV, suicide bombing in London, Madrid, Kashmir, and today Egypt. I have been advocating including a link to a Ex-Muslim site directory that contains links to many anti-Islam sites. Instead of attempting to discuss this on the talk page, the action has been to ban myself, who is not an ex-muslim, and others who are for an indefinate period.

I am new to the Wiki routine and hence do not know the proper protocols to follow, but I do know that free speech dies when attempts to quash criticism is not given the maximum exposure in every possible venue ... hence this letter.

I wish nothing but the best for Wiki, and I hope that this matter will be resolved to the open Wiki standards.

Thanks for reading,

Nickbee.
