All are free to mention their links or personal details. The purpose of Free Republic is to persuade by expression of facts, logic, opinion, and belief. Those who reject persuasion in areas of religion or philosophy will be uncomfortable here. Alter Kaker has chosen to place religious symbols on his own homepage (i.e., the Israeli flag), but rejects my use of religious symbols in my identity, so may be one of the uncomfortable.
2. The Israeli flag is no more of an attempt at religious conversion than the Norwegian flag is. It's a statement of nationality. Have I ever tried to convert you to my religion? No? Then please afford me the same courtesy and refrain from using a political forum to try to convert me to yours.
