Are you serious Snoop? I'm a Muslim pilot, I have taken and can take jokes about Muslims and Islam. If I was as sensitive as you think I am I would have dropped what I'm doing a long time ago.
Seven doesn't joke about religion he insults. You know it, I know it.
Man I insult religions too you know that, but you know I love you and I don't hate or insult the followers, I have loads of Muslim pals here you know that, but I hate Islam equally I hate Christianity or any other religion. That's what he is too, but the difference is he gets insulted personally for doing that, and he replies with an insult (which puts him in a hard position), while I only laugh when I get insulted for that and run away. It is fun provoking someone for that, you can't deny that, you even laughed on JBF when he he went nuts for what Seven did no?
I am sure if you bring back Seven and you guys talk/agree with each others and if he understands that he should only do these in religion threads, instead of derailing other threads (like you claimed), and if you warn him to not insult anyone in personal, but only the religion, I am sure he will behave. Sure if you don't mind what I told (making fun of religions in the religion forums only without insulting members), what you say?
If you do that, and if he doesn't behave (after agreeing that of course) then ban him all you want, and I am sure no one will be against the decision.
