The “clear message is to have this sort of chilling effect on communication between the government and platforms.” After a federal judge issued a ruling ordering the federal government to stop “specifically flagging content or posts on social-media platforms and/or forwarding such to social-media companies urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner for removal, […]
Elon Musk, Robert Spencer, and Amy Mek
For many years, people in positions of power and authority have tried to silence and censor the counterjihad movement. Robert Spencer got banned from entering the UK and got shadowbanned on Twitter. The SPLC wrote a hit piece on him. Much more can be said about the measures taken to marginalize foes of jihad terror. […]
Court Hands Down A MASSIVE Victory for Freedom on the Fourth of July
New in PJ Media: On Independence Day, July 4, 2023, the forces of freedom won a major victory, and the Biden regime suffered a historic defeat. May there be many more days like this.

Sweden: Government condemns Qur’an-burning, calls critics of Islam ‘extremists’
Once the West discards the freedom of expression in order to appease Muslims, and adopts Sharia blasphemy laws, also to appease Muslims, it might find that what it threw away had some actual value. But by then it will be too late. “Government: Koran burnings have NO place in Sweden,” translated from “Regeringen: Koranbränningar har […]
Iraq: Enraged Muslims break into Swedish embassy in Baghdad after Stockholm Qur’an burning
“If freedom of speech is guaranteed to Iraq and the world, then the believers have to express their views on the burning of the holy books… through massive angry protests against the Swedish embassy in Iraq,” said Muqtada al-Sadr. A superficially clever argument, but destroying property and menacing people is not equivalent to registering one’s […]
Swedish authorities approve Quran-burning demonstration outside of Stockholm mosque
This jeopardizes Sweden’s bid to join NATO, as Erdogan is holding its membership hostage. Sweden must abandon the freedom of expression if it wants to join NATO. Now it has opted for the freedom of expression, but this stand may not last long. “Sweden approves small Quran-burning protest outside mosque,” by Lindsay Isaac, CNN, June […]
Sweden: Iraqi man fills Qur’an with bacon, tears it up, burns it outside mosque on Eid
According to Euro News, the Iraqi refugee “tore, burned and kicked” the Qur’an “at a protest initially allowed by the authorities.” Why would this Iraqi refugee, Salwan Momika, display such disdain for the Qur’an? It suggests that this refugee (along with so many others) has suffered as a result of Qur’anic doctrines which call for […]

YouTube Goes to Bat for Biden, Removes Jordan Peterson Interview of RFK Jr.
New in PJ Media: Leftists know what’s best for you. They know that better than you know it yourself. That’s why they have graciously and selflessly taken it upon themselves to decide what we may and may not see, hear, and read. If we were left to ourselves, we might make bad, self-destructive choices, as […]
Canada: Islamic charity wins suit to silence its critics, despite the accuracy of their statements
“The underlying logic is that the truth of the claims about IRC do not matter, only their impact on the organization. Well, sometimes the truth hurts, as well it should.” Yes, but in this Age of Absurdity, the truth increasingly doesn’t matter. “Islamist Charity Silences its Critics in Canada, the Fight Continues,” by Dexter Van Zile, Focus […]
