“It seems strange that YouTube and others attack free speech advocates, but yet they allow videos by individuals such as Yusuf Qaradawi who is the chief inspirational cleric of the Muslim Brotherhood.”
Strange indeed, but one thing you can say about all the social media giants as they act ever more energetically to shut down all dissent from the far-Left agenda: they’re consistent. They never miss a trick in allowing for the most hateful pro-Sharia preaching, but shutting down those who oppose jihad terror.
“FUREY: YouTube suspends Canadian anti-terror expert,” by Anthony Furey, Toronto Sun, April 8, 2018:
Canadian intelligence expert Tom Quiggin has quite the resume. He’s worked with the RCMP, Canadian Armed Forces, the UN Protection Force in Yugoslavia, to name but a few. He’s testified before the Senate and at the Air India Inquiry. He was even an arms control inspector in Europe.
Yet, these extensive qualifications apparently aren’t enough for YouTube, which removed Quiggin’s new podcast from its platform before he even posted the first episode.
On Feb. 24, a trailer for The Quiggin Report — running less than a minute — was posted to the video platform now run by Google. All it shows is the logo of the show and snippets of audio referencing extremism and political correctness. Hardly controversial content.
Yet by March 1, Quiggin and his producers were unable to access their accounts – both on YouTube and the Gmail account they’d been using for the show.
They then received a message stating: “Your access to this Google product has been suspended because of a perceived violation of either the Google Terms of Service or product-specific Terms of Service.”
After appealing the suspension they were soon told: “We have decided to keep your account suspended based on our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.” They were never informed what actual guidelines or terms they’d violated.
“We really are at a loss to explain how a 44-second trailer can get you banned, but we believe that simply using the term “free speech” in conjunction with security, extremism and terrorism can trigger progressives,” Quiggin told me via e-mail.
A long-time media commentator, Quiggin has been a guest speaker at a number of conferences and regular discusses intelligence matters on National Post Radio, the SiriusXM Canada morning show that I host.
Quiggin’s a determined observer and critic of radical Islam, working alongside a handful of Canadian Muslims who want to expose the extreme elements they wish to eradicate from their faith.
A fundraising page describes the new podcast as giving “behind-the-scenes insight into the world of intelligence and how Western governments deal with the growing phenomenon of extremist groups gaining influence within Western governments.”
He certainly doesn’t mince words in this regard, repeatedly drawing attention to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s habit of being soft on terror. Was it this sort of talk that got his podcast banned before his team even had the chance to post the first episode? We just don’t know. Google Press did not respond to Postmedia questions before deadline.
As for Quiggin, he sees a double standard. “It seems strange that YouTube and others attack free speech advocates, but yet they allow videos by individuals such as Yusuf Qaradawi who is the chief inspirational cleric of the Muslim Brotherhood,” he wrote….

These thought police are all in on the con, sort of speak!
They are not part of the establishment, THEY ARE THE ESTABLISHMENT now! Plus the politicians!
The people running the show now would have arrested Winston Churchill if he was still alive for Islamaphobia!!!
We live in most corrupt of times.
Western world nations are in decline and have lost a role as world’s leader and a force for good.
One need look no further than the character of the men and women we have elected to office and who sit in places of judgment to understand, a nation’s leaders are indicative of that nation’s character, they are who we are!

OMG. Andy, that YouTube of the inimitable Ray Stevens is a CLASSIC!! But it was like being in a maze, and I couldn’t escape!! Every time I tried to end the song, it just kept repeating itself!! Those are the damn funniest videos I have ever seen!! I also knew that Ray Stevens wrote comedy and really oddball songs, but I had NO idea of the breadth of his repertoire!! I was laughing and gagging at all the sight gags and outrageous and totally CORNY comedy, but I’m saving this to my computer when I need a real good laugh!! Of course, Ray Stevens will NEVER be PC – and thank God for THAT!! I had actually thought he was no longer around or had died, since I hadn’t heard any of his stuff in years; but when he appeared as a MUCH older singer – and sang that hysterical parody of a love song to Taylor Swift – I laughed all over again. “Clever” doesn’t even begin to describe his songs & lyrics & outrageous images, but his talent is undeniable! Thanks SO MUCH for posting this true gem of Americana!!

“They were never informed what actual guidelines or terms they’d violated.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacht_und_Nebel
Nacht und Nebel was a directive issued by Adolf Hitler on 7 December 1941 targeting political activists and resistance “helpers” in World War II to be imprisoned or killed, while the family and the population remained uncertain as to the fate or whereabouts of the Nazi state’s alleged offender. Most of those who became victims disappeared in these “Night and Fog” actions.
. . .
The decree was meant to intimidate local populations into submission, by denying friends and families of seized persons any knowledge of their whereabouts or their fate. The prisoners were secretly transported to Germany, and vanished without a trace.
mortimer says
Yes, Diane, but the real doctrinal and propagandistic COORDINATION (Gleichschaltung) of ALL GERMAN ORGANIZATIONS was accomplished 1933-1934 when all ORGANIZATIONS and LEADERS in German and all WORKERS, STUDENTS and even CHILDREN’S ASSOCIATIONS were “coordinated” under 100% Nazi control.
We are seeing a GLEICHSCHALTUNG of a GLOBAL MAGNITUDE since the GLOBALIST BILLIONAIRES do not want the toiling masses to THINK ANYTHING of which THEY do not approve.
THEY want us, the toiling masses, to believe that “ISLAM IS BENIGN… ISLAM IS HARMLESS. YOU MUST BE CRAZY if you dissent! ISLAM IS BENIGN … DON’T BE CRAZY. GO BACK TO SLEEP.”
mortimer says
A founder of youtube, Jawed Karim, is half Bengali Muslim and half German. His current girlfriend is a Bengali Muslim called Kia Abdullah.
Does Jawed Karim want to CENSOR or REMOVE content that is critical of Islamic doctrines or ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATIONS?
Whose side do YOU think Jawed Karim is on? On the side of ISLAMIC TERRORISM? Or opposed to ISLAMIC TERRORISM?
What does Jawed Karim really think?
kouldb says
Well that makes sense then. Or at least more than the feminists censoring videos that question their allegiance to Islam & the burqa.

The powers that be at YouTube are left wing progressive pinheads, I get it, but why in hell are they going to bat for and endlessly rationalizing the most regressive, ass-backwards, misogynistic, intolerant, inhuman, violent, anti-liberal ideology ever dreamed up? These idiots will be the first one’s beheaded when their precious Muslims are calling the shots. I’m sure they’ll consider it a small price to pay for not being Islamophobic. Question: When did the left lose it’s collective mind?
Terry Gain says

There is no reason for Muslims to behead Leftists. Why would they behead people who have already submitted? No, first they will come for the Jews and Christians, though the former Christian, Papa Franky is safe. As are Leftist Jews.
gravenimage says
They will be beheading Leftists, as well. All Infidels are fair game for them.
brane pilot says
I have been a student of history for 40 years and I am utterly dumbfounded by the open-borders, so-called ‘progressive’ political movement in Western democracies. It is civilizational suicide, and nothing like it has ever existed in human history. My best guess is this is a movement dedicated to achieving a planet spanning ‘hive-mind’, not unlike insects, and any deviation from this is viewed as a frontal attack.
Problem is, some of us have no wish to live and think as insects in a political hive.

Most of the people I know have an “It’s a Small World After All”, Kumbaya view of the world, and don’t believe that any people present a danger to us at all.

“When did the left lose it’s collective mind?”
The Left is heavily engaged in deception. As such, Leftism is a “good fit” with Islam who’s foremost method of advancement is also deception.
We live in exceptionally corrupt times.

I saw this comment by Stephen Cockett
Over the last fifty years the controlled media has systematically tried to move the ‘norms’ of society further and further to the left.
It has now reached a point where even the authorities have adopted what a few years ago would have been labelled extreme leftist ideology. The question is WHO is controlling the direction of the mass media – and for whose interests?
Salah says
“The question is WHO is controlling the direction of the mass media – and for whose interests?”
The same one who is controlling the mass in general. He is so intelligent that he wants us to believe he doesn’t even exist. His name is satan.
Unless we admit that he actually exists, and unless we turn back to the only one who can actually defeat him WE ARE DOOMED.
Linda says
Trudeau wanted social media to censor anyone who didn’t agree with him. Otherwise, he said he would censor them. That’s why you get this kind of thing. Trudeau truly thinks he has all the rights of a dictator.
Terry Gain says
For someone of the calibre of Tom Quiggin to be banned by YouTube is outrageous.
Conservatives need to boycott YouTube and support BitChute.
We also need to move away from Google and Facebook.
Dapto says
This is because the Masters at Youtube and Fascistbook all believe All other religions are bad and Islam is the one true Belief.
boakai ngombu says
the “masters” do not ask: what good does the imposition of SHARIA assure is accomplished?

Nothing to see here. Normal behavior!!

YouTube is working hard to force the public to willingly accept their new masters. They don’t realize that one of the first actions of Muslims when they come into power will be the forceful seizure of control of all the news and social media.
billybob says
This really sucks. Tom Quiggin is a very credible source. Undoubtedly Muzzie-Loving Trudeau had a word with YouTube. He has been threatening both YouTube and Facebook lately and a threat is as good as an action.
Richard Courtemanche says
Jihadist YouTube.

Sharia YouTube suspends Canadian anti-terror expert, leaves up Muslim Brotherhood videos
…………………..
Shameful.
And kudos to Tom Quiggen for telling the truth.
Jack Holan says
If the Social Media Giants believe they are curry favor with ISIS or the MB they will learn a different lesson when their heads roll. Did Zuckerberg forget that he’s a target o ISIS? They never took back the fatwa. Good luck on being hated.
Anna says
It’s all about hating Donald Trump. Youtube sees Quiggen as parallel to Trump. They are perpendicular. That’s geometric correctness.
Thanks for not making me login with one of those odious antisocial-media websites.
