A man in Britain was visited by police and told to take down his material that was critical to Islam from Facebook. He states: The officers themselves were polite and reasonable enough, however their message was somewhat chilling: it was insinuated that if I continued to post material which could be considered critical of Islam […]
Facebook deletes 288,000 “hate speech” posts monthly, including counter-jihad posts, Hamas-linked CAIR still plays victim
Leave it to the Washington Post to ignore the real story — Facebook’s massive smearing of legitimate perspectives as “hate speech” and wholesale blocking or removal of counter-jihad material — and to focus on Muslims, and specifically the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, as if they were the real victims of this censorship. In reality, […]
Robert Spencer in Townhall: 6 Incidents Unmasking Social Media Giants as Enemies of Free Speech
There are so many of these incidents now, this article could have been three times as long. My latest in Townhall: “Hate speech is not free speech,” the Left increasingly insists – particularly on college and university campuses. In my new book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies), I show why […]
Facebook censor: “When I can save someone from seeing something, I find that really good”
“Holocaust denial, incitement of hatred, as well as racist and anti-Semitic speech are all illegal under German law.” Holocaust denial is a fairly straightforward concept, as is anti-Semitic speech, but “incitement of hatred” and “racist” speech are much less clearly definable concepts. Who gets to decide what is “incitement of hatred” and “racism”? Why, the […]
Sharia Facebook removes Counter Jihad Coalition’s page without explanation
I received this message from Steve Amundson of the Counter Jihad Coalition (CJC): The Counter Jihad Coalition Facebook page was put together to inform and educate people on the threat posed by Islamists and their goal of implementing Sharia. We would also report on public outreach events we hold at different venues, again reporting about […]
Facebook says Muslim’s rape threat against ex-Muslim doesn’t violate its “community standards”
Maryam Namazie is a Marxist, which means that her opposition to Islam is just a matter of wanting to exchange one form of violent authoritarianism for another. She is a vicious Jew-hater who has spread “Palestinian” jihad propaganda. Namazie is also a liar, as she claims here that Pamela Geller and I have accused her […]
Facebook VP travels to Pakistan to assure government it will remove “anti-Islam” material
This initiative is already in full swing: in mid-February, traffic to Jihad Watch from Facebook dropped suddenly by 90% and has never recovered. We do not post any “explicit, hateful and provocative material that incites violence and terrorism,” but Facebook is acting as judge, jury and executioner in all this. There is no appeal and […]
India: Muslim mob rampages, beats up police officers, torches homes over Facebook post “disrespectful” to Muhammad
“What began as a protest soon escalated into a violent roving mob ransacking houses of the majority Hindu community in the district. It is believed that dozens of businesses, houses, and at least six police vehicles, were torched by a mob in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district….Blockades are on in at least 60 places […]
Facebook suspends Catholic priest for criticizing Islam
After a short Sharia suspension, Facebook ultimately let him back in. But if the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Pope Francis hear about this, Fr. Higgins may have more to worry about than Facebook. The Catholic Church at this time is officially bound to a policy of willful ignorance regarding the jihad threat, […]
After London jihad massacre, Facebook removes video claiming connection between terrorism and Islam
Facebook, Twitter, all of them are desperate to cover up the increasingly obvious connection between terrorism and the religion with a holy book that thrice exhorts believers to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5) and calls upon believers to strike terror in the hearts of the enemies of the deity (Qur’an […]
