The result of the debate was no consensus. Parent userpage was deleted at a separate MfD, lessening the urgency here somewhat; however, there is no consensus below to delete the userbox. It is reasonable to argue, as a substantial number of commenters do, that the phrase "separation of mosque and state" is an acceptable method by which to refer to a particular set of political concerns relevant in discussion of the Muslim world. This argument does not have consensus support here, but it prevents the deletion argument of "soapboxing" from succeeding conclusively. Xoloz ( talk) 03:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
inflammatory, violates Wikipedia:Userboxes#Content_restrictions. I realize this policy is rarely enforced but this is kind of crossing the line. P4k 05:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
*Keep. I edited this to make it sound more neutral ("This user believes in the separation of Mosque and state" to "This user is interested in the separation of Mosque and state.") Since the box had a potential to offend, I have hopefully removed that potential. Now the userbox format is: "This user is interested in _____". If it is the subject that offends someone, then the problem is not to do with the userbox itself.
