Denied Estingray13 Ban Appeal

Member Name Estingray13

Additional In Game Names: Estingray12

When you were banned: July 21st (I think)

Reason for ban: Extreme Hate

Ban Length: Forever

Staff member who issued ban: Deinen

Why we should consider your appeal: I was banned for saying "Allahu akbar" and talking about blowing things up. Let give some background on this. I am a Muslim, and I moved to America after my parents disappeared in Iraq in 2001. I live with foster parents in the south, where I am discriminated against. People call me terrorist, ISIS, and names like scumbag every day. In school, I am severely bullied for practicing my faith, I have been driven to near suicide. I go to therapy for this very often. This was one of my favorite servers, and when I said "Allah Akbar", I was just spreading the word of allah and using my freedom of religion. Even minecraft servers discriminate. When I was talking about blowing things up, I meant in-game. I had built stuff in the game I did not want anymore and was asking if anyone wanted to see it get blown up. I was very misunderstood and harassed against by multiple players on the server at the time. This ban is discrimination, and makes me feel terrible because as I said I already have problems practicing Islam in a southern town. Minecraft was one of the ways I dealt with all the bullying and hate, it made me happy. Please have sympathy

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know:

 

This is a poor excuse for poor behavior on your end. I apologize for the difficulties of IRL, but there is no reason to bring that rhetoric onto our server. This ban is not discrimination, we're not hindering your practice of Islam, the filth you spewed is not Islam. That is the issue, and the reason for this ban. We've permed for this rhetoric before, and we'll keep doing it, it's not welcome here.

(Your freedom of religion actually only applies in the prohibition of government entities illegally discriminating against you, other entities are another story)

 

This appeal is Denied, Do not appeal again until you calm down. This is no way to talk to staff member

Have a great day.
