I'm new to this community, so I should probably say "Hello" before I talk about a rather upsetting situation. I've had a quick look around and this forum appears to be a very inviting & friendly place to discuss all things relating to our great faith!
On a not so friendly note, I've recently bared witness to a number of threads on another message board that basically slam the Nation of Islam and call for the death of all Muslims. Some threads even go so far as to post images of the Prophet Muhammad!
I was raised Jewish, but later renounced Judaism and converted to Islam when I realized just how true the Jewish stereotypes were (you have no idea how pathetically cheap Jews can be until you're raised in a family of them!) and how misrepresented Muslims are. For this reason, I’m always angered by people who see fit to label all Muslims "terrorists" and mock the great Nation of Islam.
The forum in question is a bodybuilding board called Anabolic Society. I'm a National level bodybuilder with dreams of competing in the Mr Olympia contest, and Anabolic Society is the absolute best board for discussing the science behind the sport. There is, however, one sub-forum called THE PIT where all bets are off and members are allowed to abuse each other for fun (personally, I find it very upsetting and have even cried over some comments made toward me). This is the sub-forum containing two of the most troubling threads I have EVER read.
Unfortunately, this sub-forum requires 5 posts to view, but I would really appreciate it if some of you would sign up an account and make five quick random posts just so you can see what I'm talking about. I've asked the board owner on several occasions to remove the threads in question & the pictures of Muhammad. He refused and told me that "THE PIT is the wild west and you should only enter at your own risk".
So I turn to you, my brothers & sisters, and ask for advice: How should I handle this situation? Am I going crazy or do these people need to be put in their place?
Theses are the threads in question:
