User JoeM is constantly reinserting a POV diatribe on this topic, under various names: Islamofascism, Totalitarian Islamofascism, Islamo-fascism, World War IV. (In my mind, an article that begins with the assertion "Evil exists" is already questionable and hardly encyclopedic.) He has been asked to stop and been reverted incessantly. It's just wasting people's time.

This sounds like an only 10% milder counterpart to the Palestinian activist from last week. Well, if he keeps it up, I approve that we should put him on auto-revert unless and until he gets the message.
<editorial>What the world needs to do is put all the people like this from both sides into a room and tell them that the outcome will depend on them fighting each other. But while they are in there distracted, the rest of us sane people can figure out solutions that are mutually acceptable and reasonable to all sensible parties.</editorial>

I saw a great feature on a news programme recently, about a project in Israel which arranges for people on opposite sides to speak to each other regularly on the phone. Does anyone know the name & can we have an article on it?
it's grass roots things like this that will have a lasting effect on attitudes :)

If you put them all in a room together, with the intent that they can all come out when they've solved their differences, it's almost a certainty that far fewer will come out than went in. :-D
Wasn't there a similar underlying idea in the 17th century when the English shipped their undesireables to Van Dieman's land. :-)
As a matter of observation about Kenneð, I've noticed from his contribution list that not a single thing that he has written has been to a real article. Everything has been to User:, Talk:, or Wikipedia: pages.

Umm.. Beleive me I sympathize with sentiments that want to solve the whole Is-Pal conflict deal -- Maybe wikipedia needs to have some special facilties to deal with this particular debate -- in ways that emulate real world attemps. It seems kinda silly though.
But in sharp and direct contrast to what some of the helpful "suggestions" on this particular matter have been -- I am more and more convinced with each passing day that Celebrity deathmatches and fancy cages are no solution, rather what we *really need now is -- love, sweet love...
