Have a little faith. I don't think anything like outright
Muslim-bashing has ever happened on this list by regular participants.
Suggestions of closing the Aceh Wikipedia are obviously premature and
not helpful; discussing whether the rule violates NPOV, and alerting
others to facts about the situation, seems fine. It looks like the
administrators involved on ace.wp speak English and other languages,
anyone inclined to do so should feel welcome to approach them.

It's worth noting the template does not currently appear on the Main
Page, and there is something of a discussion about it here:
