Suppose tomorrow a radical Islamic Fundamental joined RHP. Suppose he started to barge into virtually every thread in the Debate Forum posting "Allah Akbar" and how Allah is the only true God? Suppose he told every poster who disagreed with him or indicated some doubt that Allah was the one true God, that the other person was going to Hell forever?

Of course. I think only an intolerant bigot would consider baning him. If I consider is views foolish - then I would ignore him. I'd respect his right to say what he wants short of verbal abuse. He can tell me I'm going to burn in hell - why should I consider that abuse - he's only telling me what he believes. I don't care if he thinks little babies should be pulled out of their mothers wombs and slaughtered. But I'd confront him on that. I would tolerate his right to express his views without becoming being abusive in return. I wouldn't react to his views, I would take his views and show where they fail.
