If you feel disrespected by me, my apologies, but this ruling is quite extreme imo. Even for IDT, a discussion thread, where it is going to involve mostly muslims discussing that faith. We already have exceptions on rulings when it comes to discussing punishments prescribed by certain faiths where it is a bankable offense in other threads, but not the religious threads. Language shouldn't be any different.
Why do you need exceptions? Just do this: "Arabic (English)". That's all we're asking for. It should be no problem.
Yeah, I'll go with that of course whether or not I succeed in discussing this with you guys, (temporary obliging until the rule is overturned), but a simple
Assalaam o alakium (peace be with you) is not going to make this forum any less English than it is. We have people posting French poems on occasions. We have people who post Biblical language stuff.
If two muslims like Amin and I say assalaam o alakium to one another, we will understand each other as we aren't talking to non muslims. Sure, non muslims will look at it but they hardly join in.
