Hi there, Not a mod but I wrote the post.
r/Islam has been flooded over the past 24 hours with all kinds of trolling and hatred. The mods have been working non-stop to lock posts, delete stuff that is against the rules of the subreddit, etc. People are angry over Paris, including myself, but too many people are seeking to take it out on the wrong people.
And to answer the above comment, I friggin hate the Saudi dictatorship, but if I didn't mention them then people would be flooding the post with comments "what about Saudi? Why are they so quiet?!1?" (I'm always amazed at how people type this on a computer and don't bother to google before assuming something like that.)
This is not an attempt to stifle speech, nor "obscurantism" according to u/Hauux, because the Quran makes it extremely clear not to lie or hide the truth, and that truth will always stand out clear from falsehood (2:256), and that we should always tell the truth even if it is not in our favor.

Perhaps because a lot of people trolled on there or posted hatred etc

Are all of the posts locked? Are there not countless scholars of sunnah condemning the acts of these Khawarij, terrorists based upon clear proofs from the Qur'an and the sunnah? The salaf would warn about hiding religious talks and being secluded or mysterious. Hiding the religion is not from Islam but this is one post which got hateful comments so there is no problem with locking it.
