On Wednesday morning, May 2, 2018, at 6:12am, Twitter informed me that they had suspended my account. The reason they gave me was just as intriguing as Facebook banning me for my crime of reporting a Muslim’s physical threat against me. Twitter’s problem with me? Well, I had violated Twitter’s “rules against hateful conduct.” They write:
And what was my hateful conduct? It appears that quoting the Qur’an and Hadith now falls under that category.
Twitter tells me that two of my tweets “violate” their “rules” in this context. In one of the tweets, I quote Sahih Bukhari’s texts about Mohammed’s marriage to Aisha when she was 6-years-old and how he treated her. In the other tweet, I quote Qur’anic Suras that mandate the Hijab for women and sanction sex slavery.
See below:
Twitter informed me that I could have my account back in 12 hours if I deleted these two rule-violating tweets. I did delete them. I felt a bit weird following their orders, as this meant deleting verses from Islamic texts — and surely such an act will hurt the sensibilities and rights of Muslims all over the world.
In deleting the tweets I was also surrendering to Twitter’s totalitarian suffocation of my free speech — and others’ free speech. But I did so, because I would like to get my Twitter account back so I can return to promoting freedom and, of course, to protest my suspension from Twitter on Twitter.
The mystery remains: how is quoting Islamic texts “hateful conduct”? Will Twitter soon be suspending Muslims’ accounts when their owner’s quote Islamic texts? They do so all the time.
Will this policy soon materialize into official public policy and will law enforcement soon be confiscating Qur’ans and other Islamic literature from mosques, Muslims’ households and other Islamic institutions?
Or do we have a situation in which kafirs (Islam’s dirty secret word for unbelievers) are the ones who are not allowed to quote Islamic texts, but Muslims are? If so, and that appears to be the case, then it means that Twitter has bowed to Islamic blasphemy laws.
This must explain why Tommy Robinson and Shazia Hobbs, two truth-tellers about Jihad and Sharia, are now permanently banned from Twitter – and why illustrator Bosch Fawstin, whose cartoons dare to depict the truths about Islamic Supremacism, was suspended from Twitter and had to fight to get his account back.
It also explains why Hamas enjoys a Twitter account, which links to its terrorist website that promotes genocide and is responsible for murdering thousands of people. It would do well to note that the U.S. State Dept. lists Hamas as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Is it legitimate to ask this question: Is Twitter’s providing of services to Hamas actually legal?
Or is asking such a question hateful conduct?
Suffice it to say that Twitter also provides the luxury of an account to two other recognized terrorist organizations: Al Aqsa TV (Hamas’ tv channel) and Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV.
Hamas and Hezbollah are, of course, just a handful of the many other Islamic terrorist organizations and supporters who get to have a voice on Twitter. Canary Mission, for example, has documented the calls for genocide on Twitter against Jews and endorsements of Hitler by student members of hate groups such as the Islamic Students for Justice in Palestine. Twitter has acted on this issue, of course, by suspending Canary Mission rather than the genocide-promoters that Canary unveils.
In terms of my own suspension on Twitter, I can’t help from wondering: How is standing up for Muslim women and girls who are persecuted under Sharia “hateful conduct”?
In the first tweet that I am being punished for, I stand up for the suffering Muslim girls throughout the Islamic world who are victimized by forced child marriage. Child marriage is a vicious and, tragically, prevalent phenomenon across the world — and organizations such as Human Rights Watch are valiantly trying to end it.
How can we ignore the millions of Muslim girls under Islamic law who are victims of this practice – which is enforced because Mohammed, who is considered in Islam to be the supreme example of conduct (Qur’an 33:21), married Aisha when she was 6 and consummated with her when she was 9? This fact is recorded in Islamic texts such as Sahih Bukhari — which I quote in the first tweet.
How can we protect and liberate Muslim girls if we do not talk about Qur’an 65:4, which sanctions marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated”? All of this is why Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine. It is why the Ayatollah Khomeini married a 10-year-old girl when he was 28 and why he referred to marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.”
How can we turn our backs on millions of Muslim girls who are suffering this barbarity and many of whom are dying because their young bodies are not meant for sexual intercourse and child birth?
Isn’t it hateful conduct to turn our backs on this issue and to allow millions of Muslim girls to suffer? Of course we need to stand up for all girls, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, across the world who are the victims of the vicious and inhuman practice of child-marriage. But why must we ignore millions of Muslim girls and abandon them to their suffering?
Twitter, it seems, doesn’t see child marriage as a problem. It only sees the quoting of Islamic texts that justify child marriage as a problem if you are against child marriage.
In terms of my second tweet, I can’t help from wondering: How is standing up for the victims of sexual slavery, and for the Muslim and non-Muslim women who are killed, maimed and punished in myriad other ways for not wearing Hijab, “hateful conduct”?
Take the time to look at this gallery of Muslim women and girls who have been murdered in honor killings, disfigured in acid attacks and suffered other punishments, for not wearing the Hijab and for violating other Sharia rules. My tweet simply refers to the Qur’an’s verses that inspire and sanction these atrocities against women. The tweet refers to the Islamic mandate for the Hijab for women, which Sharia enforcers point to in order to justify punishing women for not covering properly.
Robert Spencer has documented many of the Muslim and non-Muslim women who have been killed for daring not to wear the Hijab. Many Muslim women and girls are at this moment being killed, imprisoned and tortured in Iran for taking off their Hijab.
How can we in good conscience ignore this suffering, turn our backs on the victims and also blind ourselves to the teachings that inspire and sanction their victimization?
In my second tweet I also refer to the Qur’anic verses that sanction sex slavery. These are the teachings that ISIS Jihadists, for example, cite to their sex slaves when they justify what they are doing to them. How can we stop Islamic sex slavery and rescue its victims, like the Yazidi girls, if we are not honest about the Islamic texts that sanction Islamic sex slavery? Wouldn’t our callous indifference and silence constitute “hateful conduct”?
How can we ignore former child bride from Iran, Anni Cyrus, who now dares to tell her story of how she suffered under, and then escaped from, the cruel clutches of Sharia? Wouldn’t suffocating her voice constitute “hateful conduct”?
It is a travesty and an outrage that Twitter allows terrorists on its site and enables Jihad and Sharia oppression, while disabling the accounts of those who are trying to protect freedom and to liberate the victims of Jihad and Sharia oppression.
I am writing to Twitter to protest my suspension, as well as the suspension of other truth-tellers who dare to mention the roots of Jihad and Sharia. I will also be requesting an apology.
I will also be asking Twitter why Hamas, Hezbollah and other terror/hate groups are allowed on Twitter — while noble human-rights activists and freedom-defenders are banned.
Can you do the same please?
If you have a Twitter account, please post this article on there and ask others to Retweet. When you do so, let @TwitterSupport and @Twitter know how your thoughts on my suspension and on what is going on. Also tweet CEO Jack Dorsey: @Jack Dorsey. You can also contact Twitter on their website at: help.twitter.com.
Please also share this article and make your voice known on Facebook and other social media outlets. If you are a columnist, reporter or any kind of media personality, please spread the word.
Let us stand up for the First Amendment and free speech. Let us stand up against Jihad and Sharia oppression. And let us not turn our backs to the millions of victims of that oppression — victims that include millions of young girls who are crying out to our human conscience and to our hearts.
Thank you.

I would help you, but the thought police at Twitter suspended me for a week. For making a comment that people in London need to uparm and shoot the crazy Islamists who are knifing people. I guess suggesting one defend one’s life against nut jobs is no longer considered proper. I guess the correct response would be to just stand there and let them stab you to death.
I’m so over twitter. They need to be regulated right out any tax break they may get, because they are not a neutral social platform.
Asally says
I think I would have preferred to stay suspended. What kind of outlet is this to fight for freedom in if you get suspended when you do? It only makes you a tool for them. If you have to water down all your posts in order to keep your account open you do yourself and your following an injustice and you are telling an untruth perhaps by omission, perhaps by inaccuracy. This is not a service. I would re-post and let them cancel me. I do not have a Twitter account. I want no part of them. We should support alternatives and let them wither on the vine or just become the Islamic tool they want to be. It isn’t worth it. However, by publicizing your disagreement with them you at least expose them for what they are. I have wondered how long it would be before hate speech laws prohibited quoting the Qu’ran. Now we know. The problem is they are VERY SELECTIVE about whom they censor. It might be a good idea for everyone to just boycott Twitter (including especially the President).
Perhaps one should take this issue to the FCC. They need to establish standards and be prepared to defend them and enforce them across the boards. Let NO ONE violate them if they are this sacred. I hope you will do this. It is expensive, I realize, but it might need a Supreme Court decision.
Thanks for being a voice for freedom and sanity. Keep doing what you do!

Gab and bitChute are alternatives. Why not post same stuff to two sites, alert fans to that in case of twitter suspension?

THE ULTIMATE WAY TO P*SS OFF A MUSLIM OR DEMOCRAT OR CAMPUS LEFTIST IS THIS —
Quote several verses from the Qur’an (Sura 9 especially) and truthfully call those words exactly what they are:
******* HATE SPEECH *******
Lydia Church says
The bitter truth is that the walls are closing in and the bogey man is not going away.
They advance in a million tiny steps until the freedoms are all gone.
But… they are not gone.
As long as you use them…. because they are not really gone.
They want you to think they are gone so you will stop using them and then
they will be gone because they are considered ‘gone.’
If they can convince you that you have no rights, even if your rights are
existentially there, you will act like they are not there and either way the
result is the same; you are not exercising your rights.
I know, I know, they ban you from these accounts.
Just keep going. There are some comments I would not delete no matter what.
Like a comment about freedom of speech or something.
Suppose you leave a comment about freedom of speech.
Then they ban you. You contact them and they tell you that you can get access to your account again if you just delete the comment. Yet, your whole point of having the account is to spread the truth about the attacks on freedom of speech, and exercising your own freedom of speech, and so on. Thus, by deleting the comment to get your account back, you defeat the whole purpose of having the account, and betray your own principles. In no time at all, for using your account for its intended purpose again, you will be banned again and the cycle will continue. It is pointless then anyway. At some point you just need to not back down, even if you do lose that wonderful platform.
I could think of a good holocaust write up as follows:
First they came for our facebook accounts…
then they came for our twitter accounts…
etc.
(You already know how this ends.)

How can we ignore the millions of Muslim girls under Islamic law who are victims? How can we protect and liberate Muslim girls? How can we turn our backs on millions of Muslim girls who are suffering? How can we in good conscience ignore this suffering? When will white people understand that they don’t want to be rescued, helped nor protected? These people love Islam. And that’s confirmed by the fact that when they migrate to non-Islamic nations, they immediately want to spread Islam & Sharia law. That includes the majority of their women. What we should be worried about is keeping Islam out of our countries & protecting our children, women, men & democracy from them. Stop trying to save a world that doesn’t want to be saved & instead look out for your own. Why do white men not get that? Why??? When it’s always been their white saviour mentality that’s got them into trouble in the first place? Just saying. Rant over. As you were.
Darryl Kerney says
these are the sources i include when quoting quran and hadith,
it’s sad that we can be censored for what we try to point out in the texts, as if we advocate them instead of oppose them.
and worse, if the websites that host the actual islamic texts were shut down, the outcry and fight back would be greater than it is over the suppression of “islamophobes”.
almost as if only certain folks are allowed to be outraged…..

Chuckles says
Just like this site has done before.
gravenimage says
When has this site ever suspended people for quoting the Qur’an and Hadith?
And even Muslim supremacists are allowed to post here–and advoctate the most appalling things for Islam.
Pretty much the only way one can be censored or suspended here is for advocating violence, threatening other posters, or repeatedly going wildly off-topic.
Richard says
Many communities in this country have laws where sex offenders have to be registered and often their homes are made public knowledge as a warning to anyone who might become their victim. In some towns, signs are actually put on their front lawns. Why should this not apply to Muslims, whose religious beliefs include child molestation and rape? I cannot see what you are doing wrong by warning about these matters. Some years back, a lady was released from prison who had arranged for her husband to rape and kill young girls. The title of the irate article was ominously: “The Girl Next Door.” That is what we have now with the Muslins. How is it wrong to warn people about this?? Would it not be wrong not to?
Lory Darnell-Gustafson says
Hi Jamie,
I have viewed your show and believe you are totally sincere in your concerns about the obvious unhealthful verses in the Koran (to put it lightly) and feel for you that your freedom of speech has been nixed in this way. It is outrageous that for some time, all sorts of misery is allowed on social media and lately, people who are reacting to it are being called the very names that you could assign to : Islamic texts promoting violence against “non-believers” and suppression of women, ISIS propaganda, human trafficking, etc., etc.. Glad you will stay the course.
truthteller says
Try separating the quotes from the rest of your tweet (do in consecutive tweets) and see what happens.
Brian says
Welcome to the club Jamie!
Wellington says
All of which points to an enormous problem, i.e., the Western Left is an enemy of free speech about as much as Islam is. In fact, minus the Orwellian Left, Islam could easily be exposed and defeated. But the Left runs interference for Islam time and time again. Well, totalitarian systems of belief do have to stick together, now don’t they?

Grimly true, Wellington.

Jamie Glazov: Twitter Suspends Me for Quoting Qur’an and Hadith
…………………….
More insanity. Opposing violence is *not* the same as advocating for it.
Harbi says
It’s futile trying to reason with Twitter, they’ve morphed into a politically motived propaganda platform who’ve long ago decided to start suspending and banning people for posting any facts that show Islam in a negative light. They suspended me for similar too, so I abandoned it to help Gab.ai grow instead; supporting alternatives is really the only way to break their stranglehold.
Speaking of, it would be great to start seeing a “Share this on Gab” button on this place too.
One day, perhaps?
Ray Jarman says
I just sent a TWIT to Tucker Carlson and I just hope that he will read it. Maybe those of us who love freedom of speech (especially the likes of FOX, The Hill, The Daily Caller, Pam Geller and other leaders) should come together and build a platform where the First Amendment will be upheld and put forth all entities where all voices can be heard. News organizations from Buzzfeed to Jihad could be found and I am sure that advertisement companies would waiting in queue to board the ship.
Montedoro44 says
Jamie, try it again or something of similar flavor, but omit the names “John Guandolo” and “Bosch Fawstin”. Maybe that’s what triggered the incident. If that survives, then try something otherwise innocent that contains “Guandolo”.
Grrrrr... says
It was a 12 hour ban. You can’t wait 12 hours? Really?
Ashley says
That isn’t the point. The point is that Twitter saw fit to suspend Jamie’s account in the first place.
gravenimage says
Exactly, Ashley. And this is apt to happen again–and again, given Twitter’s twisted policies.
Phyllis says
was also put on the twitter black list for tweets about islam…..I refused to delete the tweets, and defended by stating the FACT there was no threat to anyone or call for harm to anyone YET muslims can call for the very death of Mr Trump and for woman to have FGM on twitter, and the BLM site can call for the rape and murder of whites and both accounts are still open
Brother Charles says
TWIITTER HAS JUST PROVEN THAT THE QURAN IS A HATE BOOK , BECAUSE IF YOU CANNOT QUOTE FROM IT BECAUSE IT IS HATE SPEECH THEN THAT HATE SPEECH IS IN THE QURAN , TWITTER YOU HAVE JUST BANNED YOURSELF FROM YOUR OWN SITE , WILL YOU BE INFORMING ALL THE ACCOUNT OWNERS OF THIS ACTION .

Welcome to the implementation of the Pact of Omar.
“Dhimmis were forbidden from:
• Criticizing or mocking Islam or Muhammad. Only praise for Islam and Muhammad was allowed
• Criticizing the Conditions of Omar: the very conditions of subjugation under which they lived
• Testifying against a Muslim in court
• Studying Islam – thus keeping them ignorant of its teachings
• Cursing a Muslim
• Raising a hand against a Muslim, even in self-defense, on pain of having it amputated
• Displaying their religious symbols”

1. Both Tweeter and Facebook are private companies.
2. They are owned by Google which is turning more greedy and Stalinist by the minute.
3. The only way to get their attention is by the pocket.\
4. Move the entire content of your accounts to a competitor’s site.
5. Leave in your Google accounts no more than a pointer to your site.
6. Something like “For a pro-judeo-christian honest view which is uncensored, press here”
7. Encourage your readers to cancel their googlé accounts and tell GGoogle why they cancelled their accounts.
linda goudsmit says
The inmates are running the asylum when it is acceptable to tweet threats against the President of the United State but unacceptable to try to protect free speech. The leftist/Islamist axis cannot be allowed to determine what is and what is not hate speech on the Internet. Freedom requires FREE speech on the Internet.
libertyORdeath says
For left run companies like twitter and Facebook i would recommend posting quran and hadith verses or quotes without any personal comments. Just let the evidence speak for itself. How can you be calling for violence or persecution by simply quoting a religious book?
I agree that we need to keep a counter-jihad presence on these hugely influential websites and must use our collective intellect to make sure our message is seen and heard by as many possible. Play the “lawyers game” with them and be sure to make the point without giving them a chance to call it hate speech or an incitement to violence.
gravenimage says
The problem with trying to play the “lawyer’s game” with Twitter or Facebook is that their policies are arbitrary and opaque. Hard not to run afoul of the rules when they are unwritten and subjective.

It would be more powerful if you just list the full verse(s) with the header – ‘You decide if this represents wisdom from God’
If they ban you, then they can be called anti-Islamic.
David says
How is this any different from this website. Comments i have made criticising Spencer for his vendetta against the UK have been removed and it appears my email is now banned on this site as even comments posted under an account I opened have not shown up.
Robert Spencer says
You’re utterly delusional, as well as paranoid. We don’t remove comments critical of me, as anyone who reads the comments here can confirm. All comments from new posters are moderated and have to be approved manually. There are monsters under your bed, too.
Yokel says
David,
As I fellow Brit, I must say that Robert’s criticisms of the UK are mild and well founded.
Why else would the general populace put up with
1) fathers being arrested for (I suspect) breach of the peace when he tries to rescue his daughter from the clutches of one or other of the “grooming gangs”, or
2) the arrest of a pensioner for murder when the burglar who was threatening him with a screwdriver suddenly found that screwdriver stuck in him as the pensioner tried to defend his wife who suffers from dementia (OK he was released after two days because of the public outcry), or
3) the theft of Brexit from under our noses by the “establishment” (“swamp” in US terms) who are certain that we “voted the wrong way”?
Tell you what, I’ll see you in Whitehall on Sunday 05 May at 1500 hrs a the start of the march for the Day for Freedom. If you’re not there (whatever your excuse) you’ll know that the criticism which Robert aims at the UK is valid; you helped make it so.
gravenimage says
This from David is ludicrous. Obviously his email is not banned (what an odd way to phrase things) or else his comments here would not have posted.
And the idea that posts critical of Robert Spencer are not allowed here is clearly absurd–anyone who has read here for any length of time knows this.
As for the idea that Spencer is waging a vendetta against the UK, nothing could be more grotesque–he stands against Jihad there, the frequent enabling of that Jihad by the dhimmi authorities, and the crushing of freedom of speech of those who try to stand against Jihad.
How could anyone who is actually opposed to Jihad consider this a vendetta against Britain, rather than a staunch defence of her people and historical values?

I was permanently banned from twitter by saying things like “Islam is categorized as a “terrorist organization threat” according to our U.S. Constitution and should be banned from America…..” I’m permanently banned for “hate speech”….
