Ermmm probably you didn't read about already one good user ..... who is a muslim ..... has left nl: over these remarks ..... and you say let this user stay on ?? Is there something wrong there? We will loose more users than this one who insults all who bring us. Are you on nl: wikipedia by any chance :|
This is unfortunate, but in combatting a problem we have to make sure we don't introduce a worse one.
Consider a vaguely similar situation on en: at least one American user I know of has left (at least temporarily) after some non-Americans made particularly vociferous anti-American comments, along the lines of "Americans are bigoted idiots who voted in a fascist president and don't know anything about world affairs" (paraphrase). Should we ban people for making such comments? I think they should be discouraged, and people should be banned if they're being disruptive (e.g. going around specifically to make offensive comments), but being too ban-happy is problematic also.
