Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Facebook exec to headline Muslim Advocates’ ‘Countering Hate on the Internet’ Dinner

Apr 12, 2014 11:56 am By Robert Spencer

Muslim Advocates DinnerIt has often been noted that Facebook has a pronounced Leftist bias, with counter-jihad and pro-Israel posts and pages often being deleted, while Islamic supremacist and openly jihadist material remains untouched. Now, with this Muslim Advocates Annual Gala, we begin to see more clearly why that kind of thing happens.

“Facebook Exec to Headline Muslim Advocates’ ‘Countering Hate on the Internet’ Dinner,” by Pamela Geller at Breitbart, April 11:

Increasingly, the war in the information battlespace is being waged outside the hallowed halls of the enemedia. The Islamic supremacist group Muslim Advocates has announced that its Annual Gala 2014 on May 3 will host an “onstage conversation” about “countering hate on the internet” featuring Monika Bickert, the Head of Global Policy Management for Facebook, along with Muslim Advocates’ Executive Director Farhana Khera and Hilary Shelton of the NAACP.

The key to winning this war for freedom is in the war of ideas. So the apparatuses that truth-tellers and voices of freedom including my colleagues and me use, tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin, are of cardinal importance. When news from my website AtlasShrugs.com goes viral, invariably it is Facebook that drives it.

This makes sense. Facebook is the personal bulletin board for millions of Americans, on which they share family photos, personal victories or defeats, and news that they believe to be of critical importance. So of course Atlas Shrugs news items would be trafficked there frequently. And that’s why this particular news story about Monika Bickert’s appearance at the Muslim Advocates Annual Gala, although innocuous on its face, is of grave significance.

Islamic supremacists and stealth jihadists are very aware of the ways in which voices of freedom get the word out after having been blacklisted from conventional means of communication and information dissemination. And so these well-funded savages host expensive, silly dinners, galas, and conferences full of empty praise and flattery for clueless tools like Bickert. While Bickert’s name is clearly not on the lips and minds of most Americans, she has the keys to the proverbial kingdom. She is the gatekeeper.

Who exactly is Monika Bickert? As Head of Global Policy Management for Facebook, she is Facebook’s speech police. So is it any wonder that groups like Muslim Advocates would be feting her? Muslim Advocates is an organization of Sharia enforcers, enforcers of the blasphemy laws under Sharia. According to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, in 2011 Khera wrote a letter, also signed by 57 Muslim and allied organizations, to then-Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan, demanding that he create “an interagency task force, led by the White House” to “review all counterterror trainers, so as to purge those that the Muslim organizations, which included many with Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood ties, found unacceptable.” FBI trainers such as Islamic scholar Robert Spencer were summarily dropped.

Khera also demanded that the Obama Administration:

“[P]urge all federal government training materials of biased materials”; “implement a mandatory re-training program for FBI agents, U.S. Army officers, and all federal, state and local law enforcement who have been subjected to biased training”; and more to ensure that only the message about Islam and jihad preferred by the signatories would get through to intelligence and law enforcement agents.

Counter-terror training materials were subsequently scrubbed of all mention of Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism, leaving our law enforcement agents completely unequipped to understand the foremost terror threat of our time.

Groups like these have millions of dollars and an obviously subversive mission, and for them someone like Bickert is a key player. How many of you who are reading this know exactly what I’m talking about? How many of you have been banned from Facebook for twenty-four hours for posting a jihad story or saying something that might offend Muslims? I myself have been banned numerous times for merely posting a link to a jihad article. The well-oiled machine of Islamic supremacists descends daily on Facebook and flags or reports stories that they deem unacceptable for the eyes of the Facebook user and American news consumer.

We cannot abandon Facebook or the other enormously popular social media outlets. We cannot cede the field. The freedom of speech doesn’t mean the freedom to speak in the wilderness, where no one is there to hear us. That’s not what freedom of speech is. Freedom of speech is the protection of all ideas, not just those that global jihadists deem to be Sharia-compliant.

Despite this fictional narrative about a “lucrative Islamophobia industry,” counter-jihad freedom fighters don’t have the funds to fete a tool like Bickert. Only groups like Muslim Advocates do.

These “galas” such as the one that Muslim Advocates is holding should chill you and compel you to action. Many of my colleagues, such as Anders Gravers of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) have been silenced. His personal Facebook page and organization page have been disabled, shut down, and silenced by these same supremacist cretins.

Most Americans assume that we all share a value system based on freedom and individual rights. But such an assumption can no longer be made. You can’t expect that such freedoms will be automatically protected. We have to fight every single battle. Every attack. We have to counter every hostile attack on our freedoms with an equal or more powerful response. Otherwise, make no mistake: we will lose our freedom of speech. Its continued existence is not guaranteed. Its survival depends on us.

    ……………………….

    And consider—part of what Ibrahim Hooper of the egregious supremicist Muslim group CAIR cite as “hate on the internet” is Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s daring to mention the plight of women being *Honor Killed*.

    It’s been noted many times before, but in these mad days truth really is the new “hate speech”.

    The only group being targeted is the Muslims and that is only because they are murderers and rapist. Whoever ‘doesn’t hate a murderer or rapist is psychotic. So let’s see, if when one of their family members is murdered or raped how they react.

    Are we really at a point in this country where ‘telling the truth’ is the equivalent of HATE SPEECH???

      Because of pseudo Muslims OBAMA and HOLDER, if you tell the truth about Islam…you will be persecuted and prosecuted.

      Unfortunately we are at that point RG. If we dropped the good looking Monika Bickert off in Tahir Square for 5 minutes to “feel the love” of Islam, since she wants to counter the hate on the internet about it, she would start to understand Islam. She would feel the love, just like Lara Logan & all the others. Monika hasn’t got a clue.

    Are you sure it’s not Countering Truth?

    • kikorikid says

      Apr 13, 2014 at 5:36 pm

      To make your statement YOU must have Truth
      at your disposal. Tell me if this is TRUE?

      The veracity of ones statement is irrelevant to
      the Shariah charge of “Blasphemy”.

    One thing not mentioned is the fact that to speak out against the muslims is to court death. Mehr Kahane was murdered by the muslims because he was so truthful about the muslims. And the owner of facebook, being a jew, is quite aware that he too could be murdered by these cult thugs. Much like the mafia, to be capable of murdering people does scare the potential victims. Right?
