I see.  So if a Christian editor and an unspecified editor are duking it out
on the Creation article, whatever admin decides to step in can't be
Christian because of potential COI, especially if he happened to agree with
the Christian editor?  OK, so if the other editor is an atheist, then I
suppose an atheist admin would be blocked from acting for the same reason.
But since Muslims and Jews are "of the Book", as Guy said, and since both
believe in a Creation myth, they couldn't step in either so I guess we would
need to search for a Hindu or Buddhist or Shintoist, yes?  At what point
does the lunacy end?  Or, could it be that Peter Parker or Parker Peters or
whatever simply has a visceral hatred for and innate suspicion of Muslims?
