Guidelines for posting on bangordailynews.com

The Bangor Daily News encourages comments about stories, but you must follow our terms of service.

In brief:

1. Keep it civil and stay on topic
2. No vulgarity, racial slurs, name-calling or personal attacks.
3. People who harass others or joke about tragedies will be blocked.

The primary rule here is pretty simple: Treat others with the same respect you'd want for yourself. Here are some guidelines (see more):

It should be noted this is not a comprehensive list.

• Don't insult one another or the subjects of BDN stories. You may be ticked off at what someone did or said, but you can explain that without resorting to name-calling or obscenity. Remember that young people are on this site too.
• That nasty line that makes your buddies go "haw, haw"? You're better than that.
• Comments should be your own work, not copied and pasted from elsewhere, though brief quoted passages to make your point are fine. And please don't use all capital letters. There's no need to shout.
• Stay focused on the issue in the article. Off-topic posts will be deleted.
• This isn't a forum to chat about your personal life.
• Some ideas — the fate of the earth, abortion, gun control, the nature of God — aren't going to be resolved in a reader forum, so no need to get frustrated if others don't see your point of view. State your position once and leave it at that.
• If you mouse over each comment you will see a "Flag" button. Please use it if you feel comments on the site are out of line. Quite often, we won't see a comment until it's reported.
• Questions about why a comment was — or wasn't — deleted? E-mail us at web@bangordailynews.com and let us know your username and where you posted or saw the comment.

That's about it: Stick to writing about the stories; be civil; be kind; enlighten your neighbors. And we'll keep moderating posts to try to ensure everyone meets those standards.

  Great! He can tell us how America has ruined the world. Then we can pay him  for his invectives directed at our country. I wonder how much his fee is for speaking at the event.  This is the best they could get for a fundraiser? Rockland, what are you thinking?

  And if you’re mistaken, you’ll be back here to admit it? Do you know that the man is from Morocco, one of our staunch Middle East supporters? And that Morocco condemned the 9/11 terrorism soon after it occurred? And that Al Jazeera is widely respected throughout the Western world for its news coverage? Sounds as if the sole agenda being pushed here is yours.

  Please ask him how many wives he has and how many steps behind him she has to walk to show him respect.. Then ask him how far back his goat has to walk behind him… Another question for him is how old is you’re youngest Bride, and how many farm animals did you give her dad for her…. Ask him what they do in the middle east to admitted Gay People……Special people will they fill the house tonight…. If someone in this country raped a 14 year old these  people would scream for his castrastion, yet they want to snuggle up to a man who probably sold his 11 year old daughter to a 40 year old man for 3 goats…. Culture, my eye!!!

  Why do you assume that Al-Jazeera is anybody’s enemy. Obviously you have never read it. I have and I find that it presents every sides views, including America’s views. Every once and a while check out something for yourself and stop letting others spoon feed you theri views.

  The jury is out on the Arab Spring bringing democracy to that part of the world. What is more likely it will bring more of the same or worse just a different leader in charge.

  I doubt that we have ruined the world, but we do have a history of being  a busybody in everybody else’s country. Seems to be a habit of big powerful countries, Britain did it before us, Russia has tried her hand, China is doing it now. The world could use a lot fewer busybody countries and let the rest of the world go its normal way.

  Do you naysayers read beyond the head lines? The talk that is being given is about The Arab Spring, in case you missed it that’s the democracy movement in the Mid East. How can conservatives be against a talk on the spread of democracy?  Didn’t that end up being the reason we invaded Iraq after there turned out to be no real WMDs? To spread democracy? Furthermore, Al Jazeera is based in Qatar which has long been ally of the US much like Kuwait or Dubai. Qatar was the first and I believe only Arab nation to side with NATO and provide fighter jets in Libya. Point being, you couldn’t ask for a more obedient lap dog. To think that Qatar would play host to a “terrorist news network” is absurd. I assume people think that of Al-Jazeera because their views differ from that Faux News.

   The prevailing mindset among the Right (at least as far as I can gather, reading between the lines), is that democracy in any Arab country is dangerous because the “Arab street” is supposedly so untrustworthy, violent, and easily swayed by zealots, that if given a choice, will inevitably vote in Islamist/Jihadist regimes that want to kill us.  Therefore, for our safety, we can only allow Arab countries to ruled by friendly brutal despots who kiss our butts.

  Complete BS to any thinking person, but that’s my takeaway.

  That’s irrelevant if you consider that our staunch ally Libya is also in that region. Hmmmm, let’s see, Moroccans speak Arabic, practice Islam, and yearn to make the pilgrimmage to Mecca. So, while not technically in the Middle East, I stand corrected, they ARE considered part of the Arab nation.

  Since when is Libya our staunch ally? It is a fragmented country with a dictator on one hand and a group of unknowns on the other. No one with any knowledge of the region can make any kind of certain assessment of how things will play out. Islamic countries are in a number of locations throughout the world, not just the Middle East, take for instance Malaysia. As for Morocco’s official language they speak a berber dialect of arabic. North African countries and their berber tribesmen have had a long seperate tradition and history from the Arabic countries. They have been influenced by the Arabs dating back to the Umayyad dynasty who conquered the region to a degree in the 8th century. Those are just facts I can recall off hand, you can check them if you like. You do not have a monoply on knowledge of this subject like you believe you do Duhbya.

  I listened as a youth, while the Vietnam War was being fought, to a North Vietnamese woman speak at a rally. She spoke of how kind and loving the North Vietnamese were to the downed American pilots which was of course a lie, but the crowd loved it for it was what they wanted to hear. I am sure that no matter what is said by this speaker there will be those who will love it also.

  The protesters at the Strand were not opposing free speech for Foukara.  Our issue was the museum board’s choosing him to represent revolution ,because the “Arab Spring” is suspect and should not be equated with the American Revolution.My protest was about Al Jazeera itsself–I do not trust it, English or not.  We know Qatar owns it and there is no free speech there! Americans must wake up to the fact that radical Islam is creeping into our country and has already done so in the UK and Netherlands,for instance. To infiltrate and appear respectable and legitimate in order to get a foothold is a tenet of jihad. That’s why the sign I carried outside The Strand said:  Al Jazeera: WOLF in Sheep’s Clothing.
  I agree with crowfeather.
