Jihad Watch

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

Sharia Facebook removes Counter Jihad Coalition’s page without explanation

Jul 17, 2017 1:52 pm By Robert Spencer

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 the threat to our national security. Short videos were posted showing debates we have with all people. Pictures of our booth at events would be posted to show people how easy it is to start up a CJC in their city. Articles and pictures of people persecuted by Jihad, which includes Muslims, would also be posted.

Then on Tuesday July 11, 2017, Facebook unpublished our page. When I went to log on, I received a message that they were blocking posts for 24 hours due to a violation of their public policy. My emails inquiring into what we did wrong have gone unanswered. Now almost a week later we are still banned when they said it was a 24 hour ban. And I still do not know the specific reason we were banned.

We ask everyone to click on the blue question (“?”) on the top-right corner of their Facebook Homepage. Then select Report a Problem at the very bottom of the box and go to the General Feedback section and write in to request that the CJC page, which is a freedom-supporting and human-rights page, to be put back up.

I have a fair idea of why this happened:

Pakistan: Facebook helping Pakistani officials remove “blasphemous” content March 8, 2017

Pakistani government: Facebook heeded its demand and has removed 85% of “blasphemous” material March 27, 2017

Facebook VP travels to Pakistan to assure government it will remove “anti-Islam” material July 11, 2017

Some photos of the Counter Jihad Coalition’s booth in southern California:

    I have a Fair Idea, also. There is a steady “DRIVE” being pushed on Social Media, to silence voices of dissent on the Muslim invasion. SHARIA is to be “DUH LAW OF DUH LAND”! A REAL DEATH WISH FOR AMERICA!

      I hate to be a wet blanket here, but there is no ‘Muslim invasion’ of the US. I’m as anti-jihad as they come, but we can’t be in a war with or afraid of all Islam or Muslims generally speaking. Of course I want every last ISIS, al Qaeda etc bad guy DEAD, Sorry to say but there is no choice in the matter, we have to wait for Islam to finally reform itself. We can’t do that for them. In the meantime I will be kind to all normal Muslims.

      Fortunately, US Muslims are way more normal compared to most other countries.

        Muslims in the US are not “normal”…they hide the truth about what they are and what they believe to deceive us (practicing tiqiyya) in an effort to one day conquer the west…the one key goal of islam. There is an invasion of muslims in the US to accomplish this goal…read the muslim brotherhood paper online about their plans for taking us over…first they quietly infiltrate, as they gain population they use our laws for their advantage…claim islamaphobia, religious discrimination (islam is not a religion but an evil political ideology), they when more populous they begin to force their beliefs and sharia law on all around, they run for political office to get clout…don’t believe me…there are plenty of true stories you can read about…Dearborn MI, towns in TX, the 20 something jihad training camps right here in the US, etc.

    Seems Robert Spencer never focus on Kerala an Indian province. Here is the news:

    http://www.news18.com/news/india/former-kerala-police-chief-tp-senkumar-booked-over-communal-comments-1462123.html

    The Communists who rules Kerala booked SenKumar ex-DGP of Kerala under non bailable offence for merely suggesting that out of 100 births 42 are Muslims and expressing anguish on the pace at which the demography gets altered in favor of Muslims. Moreover he confirmed “love jihad” as a fact as it is established that 2,667 women converted to Islam (of which 2,195 were Hindus and 492 were Christians) by this means.

    Yes he spoke the truth and will most likely end up in Jail!

    First, the message needs to be made known to all the Muslims who live in the United States of America who dislike and maybe even despise the US Constitution and would like to replace it with Sharia law. Those same Muslims instead in trying to force Sharia law on American citizens and their nation those are free to leave and really should leave the USA and then go to live in either Shii ‘ite, Iran or Sunni , Saudi Arabia if they actually feel the Sharia law is the grand, great and wonderful .
    Moreover, all this is a strong reminder of the wise words declared by Theodore Roosevelt in a speech. “There can be no fifty –fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism , only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”

    Second, The scheming jihadist /Muslims who attempt to have Sharia law set up in the USA engage in the doctrines of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya which is very insidious. Taqyyia is the jihad dogma that deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam. Nevertheless, the God of the Bible “condemns those who devise wicked schemes…” Proverbs 12:11. [N.I.V.] Likewise, Proverbs 12:20 teaches “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil.”
    Third,

    Third, some of the jihad-minded Muslims use the strategy that is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya in the stealth jihad with its Sharia law for the cause of Islam. Taqiyya is the Islamic dogma that deception is a good ploy as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam. Therefore, about those who engage in deception the Bible informs its readers that “Enemies disguised themselves with their lips. Proverbs 26:24. Further in the same chapter of Proverbs [v.26 ] teaches Their malice may be concealed by deception.” [N.I.V.] In conclusion .let’s not be beguiled to the sly and insidious Muslim methods of Traqiyya.

  5. Walter Sieruk says

    Jul 17, 2017 at 2:16 pm

    What is known as the Stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism. In contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
    This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”

    Furthermore,much of the sly insidious yet subtle stealth jihad is based on the Islamic dogma called Taqiyya .This is the Islamic doctrine the deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam in the West. In strong contrast to this practice of Taqiyya is the teachings found in the Bible . For the Bible informs its readers in Proverbs 11:18. “The wicked worketh a deceitful work…” Likewise, the very next chapter[12] of the same book of Proverbs it reads in verse 5 “The counsels of the wicked are deceit .” Also further on verse 20 it instructs “Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil…” [K.J.V.]

    • Lydia says

      Jul 17, 2017 at 11:57 pm

      “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
      and we see this strategy at work where lately?

      Hmmm. Does the word ‘migrants’ ring a bell with anyone?

  6. Guy Macher says

    Jul 17, 2017 at 2:26 pm

    The specific reason is–telling the truth about the doctrine of evil, aka Islam.

    The same thing happened to me. I set up a group on Facebook specifically on this issue (African and middle eastern migrants to Europe) and starting posting links (including from Jihad Watch). It took less than 24 hours for someone to make a complaint, and suddenly I found myself staring at a message from Facebook saying that my entire account was suspended for “suspicious activity.” I never bothered to challenge it as I am very busy. The post that seems to have inspired a complaint was the imam from Pakistan telling the faithful to go to Europe to “breed” with European women and make the region an new Caliphate. There was a negative comment in reply to it from some guy and he was no doubt the one who complained, and I guess FB staff are instructed to suspend accounts that directly challenge the EU’s open border migrant policy (recall Merkel’s meeting with Zuckerberg).

  17. RCCA says

    Jul 17, 2017 at 7:58 pm

    I’m supportive of the goal to warn against Sharia encroachment on our guaranteed (and taken for granted) rights in the US. However, I think your approach is too broad against “Islam” in general. At least that’s the impression from the signs at your booth. IMO you should be targeting specific issues: the death penalty for apostasy, the inferior testimony of women in courts, women’s beauty must be guarded, non-Muslims should be shunned and not taken as allies, Mohammed can not be insulted, etc.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 17, 2017 at 8:02 pm

      RCCA, surely your response to their being shut down for daring to criticize Islam is not condemning them for criticizing Islam?

    I wouldn’t sweat over it. 22 Billion users (they boast) saying only what FB say they can say (as long as its pro islam) .. Its kind of Like London on Line. I got fed up with being banned. I just direct my Tweets there. B.Warner is putting together a better version of https://kfrnet.com .. The sooner we get everyone on one page the better organised we can get to be. Time is running out. They declared this jihad on 05 1 2002, and the 22 year (their calendar) is drawing near to the close. I am seeing a lot of suitcase nuke signs popping up. I just hope I ma wrong. The shia connection is perturbing (check Abtahi (Commanders Of The Clergy – non political party that comes alive when an election is on in Iran) .. Iran cleric and vice pres. until 01.09 2001 (yes you read that right 9.1.1 .. We need to get cracking on this .. If they have done or are going to do HAJJ, then the covenant with allah status puts them in the jihad support network for sure. These guys need to be identified and thoroughly check’d out PERMANANTLY.

    Here’s the letter I sent to Facebook:

    Dear Facebook,

    I have read that Facebook has un-published The Counter Jihad Coalition Facebook page.

    Please reverse this action immediately. Pages such as The Counter Jihad Coalition Facebook page, the Jihad Watch page, Pamela Geller’s page are providing important information about the threat of Islamic terrorism.

    The blocking and censoring of such pages is a dangerous policy by Facebook, one that threatens to silence important journalism done by people opposing terrorism.

    By blocking these pages, you are contributing the pall of silence that exists in America and indeed over all the world about the evil of Islamic terrorism. You are in effect participating, albeit unwittingly, on behalf of the cause of those who commit terrorism in the name of Islam.

    Undo this action immediately, for the good of free society. Say no to censorship, and no to jihad terror!

    Read this article, and those linked at the end of the article. And Read JihadWatch.org every day.

    I can’t understand why would anti-jihad anti-islam internet warriors continue to let jihadi facebook to abuse your right to free speech to warn others of the danger of islam to save this country. It’s time to pull the plug and move on to another platform. Send out the last notices to your friends of where you’re going to move to and say bye-bye to ugly jihadi facebook. We certainly don’t need it. If you continue to use facebook as usual then please stop complaining.

      I’ve been looking at alternatives to FB too.

      Personally short of time to do social media, but I can see it’s benefits.

      A good alternative would grab your FB stuff but also let you explore the real world without interference.

      I am hoping to check out Diaspora when time permits, but a dedicated techie might be able to help.

      Any ideas, Marc?

        I reckon Breitbart would do well if they launched a social media site. I’d sign up.
        The only accounts I have on Farcebook are both fake – one was specifically set up to allow me to express my very strong anti-Islamic views without fear of retribution.
        Someone needs to set up a good alternative to PayPal as well. They’re another outfit that are targeting anti-Islam sites like BareNakedIslam.
        There is a concerted effort to prevent any real discussion about, and criticism of, Islam. Why that’s so is a complete mystery to me, as Islam is basically one part OCD, one part sex, and one part violence. I found this comment from a woman who thought she wanted an ISIS husband pretty telling:

        “But Rahma said of the male extremists they met: “They say they want to jihad for the sake of Allah, but what they want is only about women and sex. It’s disgusting.”

They don’t seem to be shutting down the islamic sites promoting lies, violence and evil.

    Mark Zuckerberg should be arrested for endorsing crime (his Merkel comments are proof).

    Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
    Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.

    Right in the Qur’an is: the permission to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims

    (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and

    the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).

    Are death-threats legal? NO.
    Is extortion legal? NO.
    Is slavery legal? NO.
    Is murder legal? NO.
    Is rape legal? NO.

    THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!

    Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!

    Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!

    So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!
