Actually, as far as I'm aware Itaqallah isn't an admin, but Tariqabjotu (the
blocking admin) has strong ties to him, including
being an "ex" member of

What? So, we were both Muslim at some point... big deal. We were both part
of the same WikiProject four months ago... okay... I don't understand how
that constitutes strong ties. Note how rarely I have posted to his talk page
and how rarely he has posted to mine. Instead of condemning my actions on
the basis that Itaqallah and I both share some views, please take a look at
my actions themselves. Was RunedChozo being incivil? Yes. Was he evading a
block? Most likely. Was a five-day block reasonable? Your opinion, but one
admin suggested a week-long block even before the block evasion, and when I
blocked RunedChozo for a mere sixteen hours, people said that was mild.
These events have absolutely nothing to do with Itaqallah; RunedChozo was
not blocked for edit-warring with Itaqallah (I didn't even take a look at
that situation), but for the incivility and block evasion. Please assume
some good faith and stop using my religious beliefs as a reason to discredit
me.
