Someone who tries to rally up people against Islam in a topic that has nothing to do with Islam isn't suited to be a mod.

I agree.

 

We need someone who can make objective neutral judgements. I am not much in those political threads, so I can't make a vote. But I know the people due to their views on certain topics who shouldn't be a mod.

In all honesty, I'd love to help out in the political threads but the troll threads I made guarantee that I probably will never be a mod.

 

I don't think it's necessarily the viewpoints, rather how they express them.

For example, if I don't like abortions, that's perfectly fine. It's just how you say it:

"Abortions are evil, and anyone who practices it are disgusting" VS "Abortions aren't good in my eyes, but everyone has their own viewpoints"

Ban-worthy statement vs an opinion that people may disagree with, but still respectable.

 

For example I made a thread about the FBI's decision on Hillary Clinton. I didn't go and say that anyone who agrees with the FBI is a moronic hillary clinton suckup. I let others say their opinions, admit I was wrong on certain parts, and moved on.

 

A moderator who  focuses on political threads needs to be able to understand how to say things in the best manner and to know how to admit they're wrong.
