I think it would better to close this thread. And never to post such a controversial subjects on these forums again.
It produces unnecessary conflicts inside the otherwise very friendly community which we are lucky to have here. Our political, social, religious and some other points may differ but I'm sure we are all here because of things that unite us - the graphics, the art, the Xara products.
There's a lot of other forums specialised on discussing politics, social and other such aspects of our lives, so removing such subjects from this board will surely not reduce anyones ability to discuss them.

Quote from the forum rules:
We do not actively restrict topics of conversation, but TalkGraphics.com was not designed for heated debates. We ask you to refrain from volatile subjects such as religion or politics and keep the intended spirit of TalkGraphics.com in mind.
Thank you for understanding.
