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

Ex-Muslims slam Facebook for shutting down their pages for ‘disrespecting Islam’

May 15, 2017 4:18 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The dhimmitude and danger to Western freedoms continues; Facebook is facilitating the Islamic supremacist ambitions to subjugate the West and destroy the freedom of speech. Even ex-Muslims, deemed apostates and worthy of death, are being ganged up on by Facebook. Facebook apparently thinks it’s “Islamophobic” to criticize Islam.

“Ex-Muslims slam Facebook for ‘censoring pages that disrespect Islam’ as pages are shut down”, by April Glover, Daily Mail, May 14, 2017:

An anonymous group of ex-Muslims has slammed Facebook for its censorship of anti-Islamic content as several pages are shut down and banned for allegedly violating community rules.

The group – which is made up of former Muslim-Australians – claims Facebook pulled the plug on pages with thousands of followers after users flagged them as ‘disrespecting’ the Islam religion, reports The Australian.

‘Restrictions to these platforms would be overwhelmingly damaging for ex-Muslims who are too afraid to go public….

Pioneers of the ex-Muslim groups have condemned the social media giant for censoring content and filtering the type of information available to users.

The pages exist for ex-Muslims to denounce their former religion and band together with other previous adherents of Islam.

Anti-Islamic pages ripped from cyberspace include the Ex-Muslims of North America page – which soon resurfaced – and a page called Mufti News which parodied Muslim news.

Several Arabic-based Atheist pages were also shut down on Facebook, the group alleges.

Administrators of the pages have asked Facebook to reconsider its community guidelines to allow for a more diverse conversation on the Islam faith.

However dozens of ex-Muslim groups and pages remain visible on Facebook, including the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain, Ex-Muslims of Norway and Council of Ex-Muslims of New Zealand.

    far more on this awful censorship of ex-muslims here:

    https://heatst.com/culture-wars/exclusive-facebook-has-been-regularly-shutting-down-atheist-and-ex-muslim-groups/

    It is very hard for them to complain, as many of the victims require anonymity to stay alive, they can not go public about the online harassment they face.

      .Facebook is sharia compliant Facebook doesn’t want anyone leaving Islam. Facebook supports global dominance by Islam.

        Correct. Facebook will tolerate no legitimate criticism of islamic world dominance.

    Fakebook.

    Approach this “free” service with extreme caution. It and it’s Creator do not have the best interests of Western civilization at heart.

    find alternative ways of communicating and leave this dubious tool out of the loop.

    …………………..

    Why is Facebook–a non-Muslim company–now enforcing that its users “respect” Islam?

    • rich says

      I’m guessing Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t fully understand what he’s doing. He’s still a kid who don’t have the life experience needed to see the big picture. He’s fallen into the virtue signaling/Islamaphobia trap and can’t see that he’s well on his way to enforcing blasphemy laws.
      Either that or he’s following orders.

      • mortimer says

        Zuckerberg will wake up when revenues begin to fall.

        A rival company should be set up by disgruntled employees of Facebook and those who want freedom of speech will quickly abandon Facebook and never return.

        People will migrate to the new company.

        I recommend calling it “FREEBOOK”.

          It’s called http://www.minds.com and it is committed to freedom of speech. Many Youtubers are now using it, it’s a very good platform.

          Graven–How could Zuckerberg understand free speech?

          he went to Harvard.

          There, the only speech allowed these days is that of lefties/liberals and progressives and Muslims.

    Do we have to feel sorry for the women in the above picture or what? It shows a bunch of women like

    Google and all the others, we will remember your censorships and not allowing free speech and the constitution. Good job !

      Islamu Alaikum Irene,

      Hope U r well. I think it is a picture straight out of Muhammad’s SAW time. No mobile phones distracting prayer time, cutting ties with materialistic things… instead focused towards prayer and connecting their souls to Allah SWT, feeding their hunger of the mind.

      Furthermore look at the real connected-ness; grandmother, mother,child, grandchild …all are there … it is a real connect you know, not facebook connect.

      Also there is no ego , no smugness, the same colour so that nobody stands out and distracts, they are there to pray and not show off.

      I have been in a meeting like this in the past in Lahore (sadly a while ago) and it is not the picture so much, but the smell of togetherness, of humanity, of femininity, that overpoweringly binds us all.

      I found it so alluring, powerful and one which I wanted to be part of all the time.

      You dismiss it …because you compare it to your own mental picture, what you have been brought up as a child, it is a superficial carnage that you have been fed.

      There is real beauty in this, what you see, what you *feel* here is beautiful , one that you must try and experience.

      More Later …

      Rezali

  6. Peter Buckley says

    May 15, 2017 at 4:55 pm

    Ironic, considering it’s primarily the Internet which has been the tool for muslims to delve deeper into their religion, leading to the mass movement of former muslims we are now witnessing:

    “Why is (apostasy) on the rise? Well if I had to put forward what I see as the most pertinent reason, it would have to be the internet and social media. We are connected like nothing else.”

    http://www.thecommentator.com/article/782/the_rise_of_atheism_in_pakistan

    Maryam Namazie recently commented that the Internet is having the same effect on Islam as the printing press had on Christianity. No way a Facebook ban is gonna stop the tide………..

    • mortimer says

      May 15, 2017 at 6:36 pm

      The mullahs know that they are losing big time. They are like King Canute who tried to order the tide not to rise.

    We are allowing Islam to cover the west with a black veil. A veil of fear, inculturation, dogmatism, religious fanaticism …. we will return to the times when people like Galileo was threatened by questioning religious dogmas.Islam and Muslims are not the culprits … they do what they have been taught, what they did to them. The culprits of this situation are us, we have surrendered.I remember a movie called “evolution” in which a meteorite brought to earth the basic components for life and created beings at full speed … evolved. When “superior” beings (hominids, birds, etc.) had already been created, the army bombarded the main mass which engulfed all other beings. The deformed mass is very simple, but it is the only one that has adapted to the new situation … supposedly superior beings perish. Our culture, society … is infinitely superior in all respects to Islam … but to this day I believe we have no future. Islam, that misshapen mass … is going to be the only one to survive, it’s going to fuck us up.

    • rich says

      May 15, 2017 at 6:25 pm

      I mentioned Galileo and his counterparts the other day when addressing this very subject. I mistakenly believed that as Westerners we’ve moved past this kind of lunacy. But looking at Europeans punishing their own people for pointing out the obvious, I realize we’re not that far off.
      And I agree. I don’t know if it’s fear or denial, but we are allowing Islam to move in and take over, despite our knowledge of history, Islamic subjugation, and their clearly stated motives. It always ends the same way. We are arrogant or naive to think it somehow won’t this time.

    A friend of mine, a devout Christian, read the Koran, and other books. Wrote – this was a few years ago-on FACEBOOK, what was said- quoting it.

    She was banned/barred. her account closed.

    I never went on it.

    I communicate with whom, and where I want to communicate-I do not need the entire world to know what I ate; what time I took my blood pressure pill, etc.

    I value my privacy- and see no need to tell the world about all that I do.

    And, i could care less what others do-AS LONG AS I AM NOT THREATENED OR HARMED.

    May 15, 2017 at 6:27 pm

    WHY DO MUSLIMS HAVE BETTER TREATMENT THAN OTHERS?

    According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. So why do OTHER RELIGIONS not have the same or BETTER protection from criticism than Islam?

    Shielding Islam like this is akin to making it the official religion. No secular organization has a duty to enforce Sharia law blasphemy rules. There is no international law that could require them to do so.

    We must simply start boycotting organizations that enforce Sharia law censorship.

      i wonder if people into free speech communicate much? It would be fun to see robert spencer, ben shapiro, daniel pipes, david horowitz, jordan peterson and etc etc etc etc all get together, meet, i guess virtually for safely reasons, and come up with joint game plans, a big loud united voice. So on the same day, they all tell the people who follow them eg: ok fb is anti-free speech and we’re going to start using minds, and here’s some info on minds and who’s using it, and we encourage everyone to switch today; or, ok today we’re encouraging everyone to approach 2 neighbors and give them this info on the koran, and then post his experiences at this site….

      am i being naive to think this could happen and would be helpful?

    The elitists are using islam to enslave us all and are promoting it while shutting down all constructive criticism. This appears to be obvious. Zuckerberg knows exactly what he’s doing and who he’s doing it for. More people across the world should just shut it down. There are other places to go besides fakebook.

    By the end of this year I anticipate that the new U.K. and French leaders will be calling in unison for more of this type of internet censorship, perhaps even making moves to block anti Jihadist sites. With no fresh initiatives to draw on in the struggle against terrorist cells and the mistaken belief that these religiously inspired combatants are primarily ‘responding’ to ‘hurts’, the primary remaining course of action available will be new censorship strategies.

    Muslims should not be allowed to run for office. Shari’ah law supercedes all law. Kalid, Muslim woman in Canada runs for office and introduces Motion M-103. The Muslim, “not so holy book” says “emigrate, walk amongst them, stay low key, pretend you are their friend, bide your time. We all know what is happening and watch creeping Shari’ah–alive and well in the West, SHHHHH ,don’t talk about it. We are sheep being led to the slaughter. OUR LAWS MEAN NOTHING TO MUSLIMS.

    May 16, 2017 at 9:24 am

    A good example of what I am talking about is the Imam in London, Ontario, Canada, Mazim Abdul-Adhim calling for the murder of Jews–that is not hate speech, says Canada will be a Muslim nation. He has been spewing this hate for years. Read what Haitz ut- Tahrir states worldwide. Kalid, the Muslim woman introduces Motion M-103 and MPs vote for discussion. Is there any doubt it will become law. ONLY MUSLIMS ARE ALLOWED TO USE HATE SPEECH. I want Mazin Abdul-Adhim arrested and deported. I sent info about him to my MP and did not get a reply. SHE VOTED FOR M-103.

    I think the people is going to have their opinion of what they feel no matter if it’s on here or not so what’s the difference! Both sides of every one is not going to change but it’s nice to beable to talk about it to each other, if it’s something violet then it should be removed, but harmless what is the big deal! There’s all religions it just happens this religion has violence in their practice towards non believers and it’s promoted by others that go along with it! I don’t think that’s fair that this is being controlled and one sided! I no In the Christain bible it says 2/3 of the people on earth will be destroyed in the big war of religion! But first what happens Jesus will return for his people and the earth will be destroyed by him in the end! So should we fear that maybe! I think people that allow people to go around raping or abusing their own people and others ,do not have respected for others and shouldn’t be in this site getting upset just understanding how people are going to react it’s not directed to all Muslims but if the study the Quran then yes! Because their anger towards Jews and Christian’s and other religions bother them! They don’t like it! Nor want it where they live! They will push it out of their area where ever they live and take over! The people that take their side is excepting their ways n their law and that’s not biased! Their not here for us or any other religion except for thier own kind and will use us to get their way! It is in Their Quran to take the land from every country and that is for a New World Order! Muslim controlled it says this in the Christain Bible. Referring to the locus that will swarm and cover the earth, is actually Muslims it’s referring to. And thisis their plan,this is what Christain religion knows! I know God is love for everyone all people! if anyone’s God is not about love for others then we shouldn’t be around them! But they are the ones that are coming after others to convert them or be harmed! And that is in their Quran! It is what it is! It’s about who wins in the end is what counts but so many people will die before it, is what’s sad! FB is a great site for all kinds of people to meet and talk and express their feelings love this site and thank you for developing it! I don’t think people should have name calling or bad things to say about people threatening or nasty things to say just talk about facts then their won’t be any anger towards people but to talking to each other is awesome!

    It’s ironic that people from Islamic countries are often more critical of Islam than many Westerners. Some of these critics are apostates, but not all. They often have very constructive things to say, as opposed to many Westerners who think that ignorant pandering is virtuous. There are other sources on the internet besides Facebook, such as this site.

    I wonder if Facebook took down pages of jihadists who call Yazidis ‘devil worshippers’ and insulted Jews and Christians.

    Somehow I doubt it.

    This double-standard must end.
    Is it nice to insult a religion? No, b

    Maybe people should boycott Facebook, set up new social media sites that don’t give jihadists a free-pass while shutting down everyone else.

    And hopefully sued….Time to get a go-fund-me-site for that…

    What lawyers would take on Facebook?….They have enough $ to buy off all the lawyers in Western civilization….
