I myself posted some of those questions, and I appreciate if people choose to ignore them but don't ask to remove them. If we are supposed to discuss food, culture and nature etc.etc. to improve languages, why not politics? Im not going to ask to remove any questions praising Israel. But Im going to answer them. Italki and the whole internet is not just for us-americans or europeans. The arabic people want to use it as well, and they have maybee strong opinions, which is not strange. Aymanaz says what lots of them are thinking. It would be interesting to ask why, not just remove the questions. Personally, I don't believe in censorhip. Anybody who does, has a bad conscience.

Of course not We are humans , we have feelings Any crises like what happen in Ghaza now affect us I f any one see child dead or woman or an old man , what they did to been killed wWhat they did to lost their families, their lands If any one in their place he would tell that let us only talk

Yes, limited to zero, preferably. There are discussion groups for discussion, but the answers section should be focused on cultural and language issues, rather than political or religious grandstanding. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to devote an answers catagory to general issues rather than language, but as a language and cultural exchange site, italki she be used as such, not to promote political ideologies. This is especially true with the recent usage of it to promote aggressive cultural issues and hate rather than cultural learning and understanding. That sort of thing should not be tolerated in the least on a site like this.

I don't think I have to explain myself; all of these questions should be removed from italki and users who try to post these questions should be banned permanently. I think Aymanaz's post shows exactly why.

Well, I don't think these kind of question should be limited. Religious and political subjects are "delicious" to talk about. People ask, others answer.. That's how they learn. Another thing, I think it's gonna creat some kind of a race. If it is allowed to ask 5 questions about religion & another 5 about politic, then some members will run about who's gonna ask them first.. & that may result empty question with no purpose. I propose to just control the questions asked and "remove" the repeated ones. Maybe also warning the italki member, and make them aware of "report" option. One good question with a good debate is snough!
