And how this relate to the status of stewarship?
Would you accept that someone be rejected because he is Muslim or Jew?
or because he is black or white? This is exactly the same to me, i.e.
not acceptable.
Such allegations should not be accept in any Wikimedia projects, and any
user using these should be blocked.
