Hey Mods,

out of curiosity, why was my post deleted?

And why was mine? It didn't have any racial comments on Muslims.

To those who expressed their sympathy for my pledge sister, thank you. I cannot give any more information concerning her death because her family wants to see her children, of course.

I did want to emphasize that I was able to find some sort of closure by reading the books that I suggested. I had to realize that she made certain choices that lead to her death, and there's nothing I can do about it. Her last letter to me - smuggled out of the country in a friend's shoe lining - will haunt me the rest of my life.

I don't have a hate on for Muslims, as most of what the religious police do is not part of the Qu'ran. Please realize that.

Oh ok Bethany! No offense taken at all! I figured you were referring to the prophet and not just a general name. And yes it's THE most common male name among Muslims (as a first or middle name). I even have a girl friend whose middle name is Mohammed.

If your post was deleted it was offensive or referred to an offensive post.

I could only think of one other common Muslim name and it would have been inappropriate and probably offensive. Thanks for the note...

I did not delete the cursing thread, I unstuck it. If you do a search you will find that it is still there.

What I hate is when people post things that they *know* are going to offend someone. I'm starting to think that they do it just to take another minute out of my day.

And by the way, if you have a question, why don't you PM me instead of hijacking a thread and accusing me of something AGAIN.

Don't forget the 3rd book, "Princess Sultana's Circle"...all great books!

FWIW: It should be clarified that this doll, "Razanne" is not a Barbie, because "Razanne" is not made by Mattel (the creator of Barbie). "Razanne" is made by this company here: http://www.noorart.com/razanne.shtml

My opinion is that you are not a very fun person. Hold on, wait that is my opinion and you may not agree. I'm not violating any rule so I'm not sure why my post was deleted.

*Hijack*

I would think that moderators are here to make sure that discussions stay basically on topic and not degenerate into juvenilia. But I guess that it's a reflection of my advanced age.

*end hijack*

AND THIS IS MY OPINION:

Now as for the doll itself, I see no problem with that at all. Remember, there are AfAm, Latino and Asian-American dolls on the market and have been for years. Such dolls are very important because they help, along with positive message from the parents, the child to develop a strong self-image, etc. Black dolls were just coming on the market in the late 1960s, when I was a child.
