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.
