Twitter has suspended me again. The last time was in January, 2018. Strangely, they thought they could oust me without citing any particular tweet of mine. I challenged them a number of times, demanding why they suspended me, and every response was that my suspension stood. A number of my friends and supporters caused an online backlash, demanding that Twitter restore my account, and after a few days, Twitter wrote me that my suspension was a “mistake”. It was definitely a mistake, as I’ve never threatened anyone, and I criticize “hateful conduct”, I don’t engage in it. But I figured that they would pull it again, and they have.
Now, they accuse me of “hateful conduct”, and like last time, they’re ignoring my challenges to my suspension, replying that my suspension stands. But unlike last time, they cited a particular tweet/reply of mine to someone on Twitter who took exception to my criticism of Marvel Comics and their Muslim superhero character. If you’re not aware that Marvel Comics is engaging in Islamic propaganda, I’ve been writing against it since they began a number of years ago.
Here’s the gist: Marvel’s Muslim superhero comic book, Ms. Marvel, is being published during wartime, while Muslims are on the warpath, and the comic book, which has been around for about four years, completely avoids the Only reason we began to discuss Islam: Jihad. I take great exception to that, as an American and as a cartoonist who writes and draws a comic book that takes on Islam and Jihad, The Infidel, featuring Pigman. If you don’t know, I’m a recovered Muslim, and the winner of the Mohammad Cartoon Contest. Jihadists came to kill those of us at the event and died for it. I mention this to show that I’m committed to this fight of telling the truth about the enemy and his ideology, despite death threats.
And speaking of death threats, I reported two death threats that I got from Muslims on Twitter, and Twitter did Nothing about them, leaving their accounts intact. Let that sink in.
Back to Marvel. Marvel fancies itself as telling stories about “the world outside of our window”, but they completely ignore the war that is literally outside of their window in Manhattan. Comic books used to take on America’s enemies. Now, both Marvel and DC Comics publish Muslim superheroes, while completely ignoring Jihad, and presenting a false, benign version of Islam to readers. It’s the equivalent of them publishing German and Japanese superheroes during World War Two, without any mention of the war that was going on, in the comics.
Here’s the full context of my tweet that supposedly did me in on Twitter:
The head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, was asked by someone on the BBC, if Marvel’s Muslim superhero will appear in Marvel’s movies. And Feige answered yes. I ask why. The heroes in Marvel’s films have been around for over sixty years in the comic books, so they’ve stood the test of time, and making movies with them makes sense. This Muslim superhero barely sold 13,000 copies of her comic book last month, which are cancellation numbers, so she’s unpopular, no matter Marvel’s propaganda that she’s “popular”. There’s No demand for Muslim superheroes, not even by Muslims. But the coward leftists at Marvel Comics who allowed Marvel’s Muslim editor, Sana Amanat, to shoe-horn a Muslim superhero into Marvel’s lineup, are too afraid to cancel the comic book. And now, Marvel Studios is too afraid to answer “no” to a question about her being in the movies. (Amanat is now Marvel’s Director of Content and Character Development. She actually wears a Yassir Arafat scarf at comic book conventions.)
So I tweeted about it, calling out Marvel for continuing to publish this Islamic propaganda comic book while Muslims continued murdering in the name of Islam, and how callous that was of them. I naturally got a number of Muslim and Islamophiles responding to me, and Twitter decided that my reply in the attached screenshot was cause to oust me for “hateful conduct”.
Last time they pulled this, they claimed it was a “mistake” after a few days. This time? I don’t know. I’ve built a following of 14,000 on Twitter, and it’s been a good platform to spread the word about my work. We’ll see what happens.
Update: The latest response I got from Twitter to one of my challenges is news to me. That my “account has been suspended due to multiple or repeat violations of the Twitter Rules”. The first time they suspended me in January, they claimed it was a “mistake”. And now, I’m only given one tweet as the reason for my suspension. It is a tweet that doesn’t threaten anyone, and doesn’t have any “hateful content”. Instead, it’s a response to the hateful conduct of the enemy and their helpers, like Marvel Comics.
And yet, now Twitter claims that my suspension is based on “multiple and repeat violations”, without any references to any of these so-called “multiple and repeat violations”. This is a smear job. When they ignore death threats to me, and ban me from their platform, they show their hand. As I often say, they’re a private company that can do whatever they want, but they’re dishonest about their policies.
The leftists at Twitter give leftists and Muslims a pass when they post hateful content and death threats, while they punish those on the right for things that would be considered at most minor infractions. Twitter wouldn’t be the giant social media company it is if they were honest about their secret policies of targeting those on the right for banning, or shadow-banning (secretly crippling the reach of accounts). They’re engaged in fraud, and their claim that they’re “politically neutral” is as naked a lie as “Islam means peace.”
I would appreciate all of your support. Thanks so much.

Done. Twitter’s run by bird-brains.
nicu says
I am not a celebrity : but I am banned on F**ckbook , again – the 5th time !!!
German censorship is like in the 30’s of the last century !
Ashley says
I’m sorry, Bosch. I don’t have a Twitter account.
The best way I can support you is to remain Twitter-free. I refuse to become a social media puppet.
If and when your account is reinstated you will eventually be suspended yet again.
You are a brilliant, controversial and provocative cartoonist. You are a champion of free speech and expression.
In other words, you are a threat to Twitter.

“Now, both Marvel and DC Comics publish Muslim superheroes, while completely ignoring Jihad, and presenting a false, benign version of Islam to readers. It’s the equivalent of them publishing German and Japanese superheroes during World War Two, without any mention of the war that was going on, in the comics.”
We get it, you want anti-Muslim propaganda everywhere to whip up the masses against the evil Muslims. You want “the eternal Muslim” shown on TV and in cinemas. The kind of world we would have if jihadwatch ideologues were in power. You want to, as Hugh Fitzgerald is fond of saying, lay the ideological groundwork for the forced removal of Muslims from non-Muslim lands (or ethnic cleansing as it used to be called).
Mary says
Testy aren’t you
Ecosse1314 says
What is the unique etnicity of all muslims. Superheroes are fantasy and should not be subject to any form of religion.
On another matter what is your opinion concening the violent passages in the koram. What is your opiniion on sex slaves and violence to woman. Do you accept the koran hook line and sinker
I am only asking as you are a constant apologist for Islam but manage to keep quiet about Islamic atrocities
Fred says
Eat pork and die. All he wants is to be treated fairly. You seem to have a problem with that.
Carol the 1st says
Bosch has an Islamic upbringing. He has rejected it and he seems quite able to provide an objective snapshot of who’s who and what’s what in the Islamic hodgepodge we are all trying to decipher. A good start is the link he’s provided: “I’m a Recovered Muslim”.
gravenimage says
Should the comics have had Fascist superheroes during WWII?
And note Lebel’s vicious reference to “the eternal Muslim”–clearly a reference to antisemitic propaganda during the Holocaust.
The only problem with this false moral equivalence is that Islam *really is* a savage totalitarian creed.
Now he is implying that if you dare oppose the bloody horrors of Jihad, that you are advocating that Muslims be harmed. Talk about projection!
Indiana Tom says
The drawings I have seen of the Muslim Miss Marvel does not show her with a hijab. So after the superhero work, does she don a Burqa and endure forced beatings from her husband for being improperly dressed?
The next action figures are Heroneato, Awesome Adolph. Super Stalin, Brave Benito, Mighty Mao, and Kryptonic Kim. All members of the Dynamic Dictators.
Fred says
The answer to Twitter is simple: don’t use them. Who the he’ll wants to do something they named “tweeting”. Are you a bird? This solution works for Facebook, as well. We lived quite well for millennia without social media, probably better. It’s like television, you don’t miss it once it’s gone, and you have more time to things that matter.
As for the human garbage at Twitter, Facebook, legacy media; they will receive justice, at the end of a rope.

Robert Spencer uses Twitter. If you want to demand that Anti-Jihadists not be allowed to use computers, why are you posting here?
Jan says
I like the name of the head of Marvel Studios, Feige.Take a look and see what it means.

Marvel and DC have done a lot of good work over the years. It is being perverted here.

I tried too, but it said there is no record of this tweet, now it says it does not regornise my ID and password!
Brian hoff says
We are at war with Islam and Islam didnot declare war on us. Afew crimal elements who arenot mislim are carrying out criminal act against Islam law.
Brian hoff says
Corrrction we arenot at war with Islam.
CogitoErgoSum says
Brian, how can you read chapter 9 of the Quran as anything but a declaration of war upon those who do not submit to Islam? In it Allah states that all treaties signed by the Muslims are not to be renewed when they expire and then all polytheists who do not repent, perform the prayers or pay the obligatory alms (pay the jizya) are to be killed by any means possible. The entire chapter is an exhortation to the believers to fight the non-believers until they submit. It is a war that has been going on for nearly 1,400 years now. It’s a clear DECLARATION OF WAR to the bitter end. This is why there will never be an end to Islamic terrorism. Those who can comprehend what they read understand this chapter to mean unending war. If it does not mean that then it was written by an idiot who did not know how to write what he meant.
gravenimage says
“Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–means that *he* not at war with Islam. He has said that he looks forward to voting in the imposition of barbaric Shari’ah.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Twatter banned me again last month, after first shadow-banning my followers (and believe it or not, I have WAAAY less followers than Bosch or Robert LOL)! So it’s not just the big guys on the non-legtists gangster side of things they’re going “iftar,” but also us small fry too! Be warned!
