@Somjot, as I mentioned earlier, please limit the number of nested quotes in your post to three or less. I won't remove your above post, because you spent time on it, but we will remove future posts that don't follow this rule. Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Some posts, and sections of posts, that contravene Rule 15 were removed. Both sides of the discussion are welcome here, but please debate politely and limit the discussion to the politics and actions of states and political parties, rather than members of this or that religion or nation. I've said this repeatedly, and those who persist will be removed from the conversation. Thank you.
