Facebook takes down "Homage to Mohamed Merah" page

If there are going to be jihadists, may they be as dumb as possible, like the sympathizers here who may have put themselves on the radar screen of law enforcement, depending on the nature of their comments. "Facebook removes page paying homage to Toulouse killer," from Agence France-Presse, March 23 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

AFP - Facebook on Thursday removed a page that paid homage to the young Frenchman who died in a shootout with police after killing seven people, officials said.

French interior ministry officials said the ministry had asked the social networking site to remove the page that went up shortly after Mohamed Merah was killed earlier Thursday in Toulouse.

The page, which bore a picture of the self-proclaimed Al-Qaeda militant and was titled "Homage to Mohamed Merah", was consulted by more than 500 people before it was removed just hours after it appeared, they said.

Many visitors left comments that were hostile to the police or favourable to Islamic extremism.

Frankly, the page should have been left up so the authorities could keep a list of the enemies among us.

There are many extremist pages on facebook with gleeful comments advocating violence, often in Arabic or Urdu, from "modern, moderate, American muslims."

It never ceases to amaze me the shiny faced happy leftards in their friends list who I know will call me a bigot, racist or islamophobe for pointing out that their "modern, moderate, American just like me, friends are posting declarations of violence.

Hopefully the authorities are not only making not of the more violently orgasmic moderate unicorns in our midst but also their friends.

I'm at the point where I consider leftards just as dangerous as jihadis.

"Many visitors left comments that were hostile to the police or favourable to Islamic extremism."

The more the merrier, I would say. Know civilization's enemies, identify them and track them down. Give them the right to act as stupid as possible. Sometimes I find myself flabbergasted thinking how counterproductive Facebook's PC MC crackdown on freedom of speech can be.

As long as Facebook can erase pages like that in a matter of hours, the MSM can feed us the PC MC mythology that Merah was just "a lone wolf Salafi" and not a part of a larger network.

I was just thinking the same thing. you beat me to it.

;-)

"Islamic extremism?"

The child killer was a devout Muslim

9:5 "Kill the unbelievers wehrever ye find them"

That is in French only.

I know of at least two Arabic pages that are still live on FB. One with 775 "likers" entitled: "قاهر فرنسا محمد مراح" ("Mohamed Merah, the conqueror of France"); the other with 171 members called "كلنا محـــمد مـــراح" ("We are all Mohamed Merahs").

The members are mostly Algerian or of Algerian origin youngsters who glorify what Merah has done.

Honestly if you read Arabic or French like me jihadi propaganda is all over mainstream social networks most notably Youtube with explicit scenes of executions and hundreds of comments glorifying them, let alone underground blogs/wbsites. I am not sure everybody in the West including security services are aware of such stuff.

On another note the online journal 20minutes.fr has just reported that "Thirty young people, mostly girls, are gathering this afternoon in the neighborhood of Toulouse Izards, where Mohamed Merah grew to honor his memory.

"Young Frenchman"? Muhammad Merah was *no "Frenchman"*—he was a Jihadist, part of the Ummah, not part of the French Republic.

More:

The page, which bore a picture of the self-proclaimed Al-Qaeda militant and was titled "Homage to Mohamed Merah", was consulted by more than 500 people before it was removed just hours after it appeared, they said.

That doesn't surprise me at all. I've long had that impression—its madness that Infidels are not doing more to monitor Jihadists communicating on the web in Arabic and Urdu.

"the young Frenchman who died in a shootout with police"

That's how the AFP describes a Moslem multiple murderer. Typical MSM b.s.
"Young Frenchman", my ass.

By the way Merah is referred to by the jihadi community as "يوسف الفرنسي" ("Youssuf the French"). Not sure if that's his real jihadi alias or was made up for him after his death, but that'll help anyone who wishes to look up what his supporters think of the infidels he killed.

"Frankly, the page should have been left up so the authorities could keep a list of the enemies among us."

Istanbul_Chick,

What makes you think anyone is minding the store as far as potential jihadi mass murderers, especially in France? Mohamed Merah was jailed in Afghanistan for jihad, broken out by al Qaeda, put on a no-fly list by the US, brought children to his apartment to watch beheadings, which was reported by parents to the police, and walked across the apartment grounds with a sword yelling Allahu Akbar.

And yet, he was free as a bird, receiving welfare money from the French tit.

So, what the hell do people who simply support him in facebook have to worry about?

I make note of each and every human turd, muslim and non-muslim, on pro-jihadi fb pages. Statistically I can't be the only one and statistically at least one of the other people watching the orgasmic jihadi's and their dhimmi whores will be someone with a gun, a badge, and the authority to make life hell for the pro-jihadis.

We won't take out this big, stinking pile of seventh century garbage and it's protectors in the loony left ranks overnight. We can, however, take out the trash one stinky bag at a time.

Last time i checked that page, like two days ago, it had more than 500 followers.

They should have left that page there, for authorities to track down lovely, peaceful, tolerant pedohammedans. What a shame, really, that was the anti-taqiyya page.

You're right. Here's a message from Al Qaeda:

Jund al-Khilafah, an al-Qaeda front organisation claimed responsibility the shootings in a statement posted on jihadist websites.

"On ... March 19th, our brother Yousef the Frenchman carried out an operation that shook the foundations of the Zionist Crusaders ... and filled their hearts with terror," it wrote.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/9161562/Toulouse-shooting-killer-was-on-US-no-fly-list.html

On Thursday, several Al Qaeda-affiliated groups claimed responsibility for Merah's crimes. One said it had renamed him Youssef the Frenchman in tribute to his killings.

http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/22/world/la-fg-france-shootout-20120323

I presume "Yousef the Frenchman" was some previous infamous Jihadist, but I haven't been able to track down the original reference.

Probably the actual reason this pages are removed, is that they put the left in a bad light. This pages are a good intelligence resource. Shutting them down serves the interests of the Islamist s and their friends
