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

UK: Facebook let Muslim repeatedly post videos calling for jihad violence

Jan 24, 2018 11:55 am By Robert Spencer

Facebook’s Vice President Joel Kaplan traveled to Pakistan last July to assure the Pakistani government that it would remove “anti-Islam” material. That endeavor had already started before Kaplan’s trip. In mid-February, traffic to Jihad Watch from Facebook dropped suddenly by 90% and has never recovered. We do not post any hateful or provocative material and neither incite nor approve of violence, but Facebook is acting as judge, jury and executioner in all this. There is no appeal and no recourse.

Videos glorifying jihad violence and calling for more, however, are apparently just fine with Facebook.

“Facebook let a terror suspect, 31, ‘post ISIS videos glorifying executions and violence just because he repeatedly asked the site to reactivate his page’, court hears,” by Alexander Robertson, Mailonline, January 22, 2018:

A terror suspect was allowed to post ISIS videos on Facebook after repeatedly persuading the website to re-enable his account, a court has heard.

Abdulrahman Alcharbati, 31, is accused of posted several propaganda videos, including those of executions and children being brainwashed to fight.

One clip encouraged attacks against Westerners and urged jihadists ‘wack them with a rock, cut his throat with a knife or crush him with a car’.

Newcastle Crown Court heard that the posts were taken down by Facebook administrators for breaching user guidelines.

However they were regularly reinstated after Alcharbati ‘persuaded Facebook to re-enable his account and ­carried on posting the same material’.

When the 31-year-old was arrested at his home in Sunderland in May, he told officials that he was ‘just posting the news’….

A trained civil engineer originally from Syria, he graduated from Sunderland University in 2016.

Alcharbati, who had worked for the firm Capita, made 110 references to martyrdom and ISIS from January 24 and February 26 last year.

He also had a copy of a manual titled ‘Easy Explosives’ on how to make improvised explosive devices and suicide bomb vests on his mobile phone.

The married father denies six counts of dissemination of a terrorist publication and one of possessing a document containing terrorist information.

Alcharbati, who has bipolar disorder, denied having extremist views and claimed he was discourage [sic] others….

    The UK would rather report ad nauseam about the man who ran his car into Muslims outside a mosque in London and ignore all the UK Muslim crimes against the kuffar.

      Assuming this was deliberate, there is no justification for any of this savagery.

      The terrorist Finsbury Mosque should be closed, though.

      Well, graven, to be fair it is the only story they can use. He did knock down a man who would probably have died anyway. I believe he had just had a heart attack, but the muzzies are playing it for all it’s worth.

      Let’s see: Three ‘white supremacist’ attacks (Breivik, Mair, and this guy), as against 30,000 and counting, Islamic attacks. Is that an even balance?

      The best thing we can do to effect a change is to publish openly, the 109 verses of evil in the Koran. Muslims can’t complain. It is their ’holy’ book. It cannot be Islamophobic to quote from the Koran.
      Take a look at this: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

        Yes, GI, I think JW readers are aware that JW is on FB, and that Robert uses Twitter. People are free to use or not use social media, as they see fit.

        The fact that millions of people use social media does not mean that it was not devised for, or is not used for, nefarious purposes. Zuckerberg did not invent FB; the CIA did.

    Muslims are taking over the EU, G.B., and the leaders encourage it. The citizens apparently are going along because they haven’t DONE anything to stop it. Voting in the same leaders proves they don’t care and want executions and slavery, splitting up families, when complete shar’ia law is in forced. Euro folks are apathetic, nihilistic and self indulgent. The males are sissified cowards in pink lace.

      Laura Ann, most people don’t have any idea that Islam is a serious danger, and most of them don’t know what Shari’ah law really is.

      Jan 25, 2018 at 12:50 am

      I’m guessing that you don’t live in Europe or the UK, laura ann.

      The rest of the Western world is heading in the same direction as Europe and UK. The difference is that Europe and UK started about 30 years earlier.

      It is not true that citizens have ‘done nothing’ to stop the Islamisation of their countries. Many people have put their lives on the line in order to defend their freedoms, their countries, and Western civilisation in general. The British voted LEAVE in the Brexit referendum. Movements like PEGIDA are attracting increasing support, and new political parties which address the mass immigration and Islamisation issues are emerging. This is happening in spite of the heavy censorship and relentless leftist indoctrination to which the European people have been subject over the past several decades.

    What is wrong with sell-out Vice President Joel Kaplan? Has he such extreme venality that he is willing to throw FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION under the bus merely to make a little more money?

    Why not just say to these people, ‘FACEBOOK IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF CENSORSHIP’.

    UK: Facebook let Muslim repeatedly post videos calling for jihad violence
    …………………..

    Given their regular censorship of Anti-Jihad material, we can neither conclude that Facebook is a free speech absolutist–in which case they would let everything stand–nor that that want to avoid all troubling material, no matter the context–in which case, this Jihadist would not be alowed to keep posting these calls to commit violent terrorism.

    Instead, it is the worst of both worlds–where callng for savagery is fine, but opposing it is not. *Ugh*.

    More:

    Alcharbati, who has bipolar disorder, denied having extremist views and claimed he was discourage [sic] others….
    …………………..

    Uh huh…

    The idea that he was critcial of these atrocities is clearly ludicrous.

    As for his being “bipolar”, I see he is already preparing his “mental illness” defense.

    I’m just glad that British authorities apprehended him. No thanks to Facebooki, though…

  14. MFritz says

    Jan 24, 2018 at 11:59 pm

    Facebook doesn’t want to remove videos in Arabic because of “minority status”. As censoring them could be considered “islamophobia” and “racism”.

    And if they’re calling for jihad in English it’s most likely considered “cultural” by FB’s staff. You know, like when religious Christians talk about hell…
