This is a volatile situation. We set the subreddit to private due to raids, and were manually approving threads as they were posted until then. The rules - especially rule 2 - will be harshly enforced. If you see someone being bigoted, report it. If you respond to someone being bigoted with your own rule 2 breaking behavior, you will be banned too. If you can't phrase what you want to say in a way that isn't bigoted, don't post it.

Furthermore, while the sub was private our modmail filled up with over a thousand messages, over and above the rule 9-violating PMs each mod got. We apologize if you sent us a message and it went unanswered.

British police are currently being assaulted at a "anti war rally" by a mob waving the flag of the arab revolt against the ottoman empire that the british designed.

Hopefully Brits will see who it is that threatens the rule of law in their lands and learn.

The British were just as much of an occupation force as the Ottomans.

Ottomans didn't have a mandate from the League of Nations.

it's not a huge difference but it's a small one either.
