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

Facebook flags post critical of Islam’s treatment of gays as “hate speech,” bans editor for 30 days

Sep 23, 2018 3:20 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.” (Qur’an 7:80-84)

Muhammad specifies the punishment for this in a hadith: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

Also, Sharia forbids not just the consumption of alcohol, but its sale as well. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Verily Allah, the Exalted, has forbidden wine. So who hears this verse and he has anything of it with him, he should neither drink it nor sell it.” (Sahih Muslim 3835)

And so Jordan James of Politicalite reacted with sarcasm to the photo, which advances a plainly deceptive claim. Facebook took his sarcasm as “hate speech.” The implementation of Sharia blasphemy laws by the social media giants continues.

“CENSORBOOK: Facebook Threatens to BAN Politicalite Over ‘Islamic Blasphemy,’” Politicalite, September 22, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

FACEBOOK enforced Islamic blasphemy laws over a Politicalite post about Homophobia in Islam and banned our editor for 30 days for so-called ‘Hate Speech.’

The social media network was unhappy with a post that showed a Muslim woman in a rainbow hijab holding a sign that said ‘Allah Loves Equality.’

The post had the headline “Ok Hun… with a sarcastic rolling eye emoji” Hours later Politicalite was told to unplublish [sic] our page and review the “offensive” content.

Facebook categorized the post as “Hate Speech” but how can this be? Our Editor is a gay man who has had first-hand experience of Muslim Homophobia and knows countless Muslim men who are forced to lead double lives due to their sexuality.

Radical Islamists also use Allah’s name, and threaten gay men. Islamic countries also have some of the worst records in the world for Gay Rights….

    Allah loves equality. So that’s why some people are made to be dhimmis?

      And why are the all non muslims called ‘infidels’, Kafir? Indeed the ugliest word in the world- unbelievers?

      • Savvy Kafir says

        Sep 24, 2018 at 7:15 pm

        I’m a proud infidel/ kafir/ unbeliever. I only believe in things for which there’s actual evidence, or which science & logic suggest are true. Islam does not make the cut.

        Islamic theology is the most toxic, disgusting fantasy ever devised by man.

      Here is another mind-bender. To explain inconsistencies in revelations from Allah, Muhammad said that Allah could change his mind and provide something even better. However, Muhammad was the final messenger from Allah so that now that Muhammad is dead, if Allah ever changes his mind about something, Allah has no way of getting that message of something better to mankind. If Allah sends another messenger no one will believe him because Muhammad was the “last” messenger. Allah has put a limitation on himself and can no longer change his mind. But ………. Allah can do as he pleases and change his mind. Oh, please ………

    If the moronic employees at Facebook want to see hate speech they need only read the Qur’an, even just sura 9.
    Why don’t they inform themselves about Islam?

    • Keith says

      Sep 23, 2018 at 4:47 pm

      They would then have to consider themselves Islamophobic, haters and bigots and they just couldn’t do that could they.

      • James Lincoln says

        Sep 23, 2018 at 4:55 pm

        Keith is correct.

        If the employees at Facebook were broadsided with the truth about Islam, they would “vapor lock”.

      Muslims always have Western Imams to fall back on. They will tell you that Quran 9:5 pertains to a specific time and place in the past. Of course, they know it’s not true but they also know they will get paid to show up on MSNBC and say it. You can make a living by publicly lying about the Quran and absolving the conscience of liberals (the ones that still care).

    the muslims are fully in charge of fb.i was banned for my comments. as the power of islam rises all freedoms are lost. how many of your will awaken before their blade is falling on your neck~~

    Why don’t they just say it: NO criticism of Islam or Muslims. Jihad is really unnecessary in the West. The lefties will enforce blasphemy laws themselves without Muslim assistance.

    allah loves equality?

    No, I don’t think so.

    The legal testimony of a woman=HALF that of a man koran 2:282
    A son’s inheritance=TWICE that of a daughter koran 4:11
    A muslim man can have 4 wives{a muslima cannot have 4 husbands}koran 4:3
    Pre-pubescent girls can be married off to muslim men

    allah’s respect for Jews and christians?koran 9:30:allah curses Jews and Christians.

    islam’s punishment for gay people…HADD,TAZIR

    Not much evidence for tolerance in islam is there?

    • TheStranger says

      Sep 24, 2018 at 1:59 am

      Muslims can marry pre-pubescent children who don’t have physical or emotional maturity? That’s interesting. where’d you get that from.

      • Robert Spencer says

        Sep 24, 2018 at 4:38 am

        Qur’an 65:4. And the many Bukhari ahadith discussing Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha.

      In Islam there are different levels in hell, depending on the Christian, Jewish, polytheist … Yes, Islam is very egalitarian, it hates anyone who is not Muslim.

    It appears that Lenin’s useful idiots are hired by muslims to be their useful idiots.

    • Lu says

      Not hired – they do it for free, just for the passion of cementing another oppressive system akin to theirs.

    I think dingbats do the checking on Facebook. They don’t know what they’re doing, in other words, they use no logic and reasoning. They see something and a negative comment and call it hate speech. They need to wake up to Islam. Islam is not their friend and equality doesn’t exist in Islam. Millions of Muslims are against homosexuality and it’s illegal or persecuted in 76 countries. So, the left is betraying gays. Can you imagine two gay guys walking hand in hand in a no-go zone in England or Sweden? They should try it.

    • Heidi Walter says

      They know damn well what they are doing. I posted something stated by Imam Choudary to the effect that he said they would honor the German Constitution as long as they are the minority in Germany. Of course they blocked me even though they are just a private enterprise and have no rights in a foreign country to act as legislation. I have the feeling that Islam has more influence on everything than we could ever imagine. One can post a lot against the Government, curches and other things, the Minute one posts something against Islam or Muslims you’re doomed.

    Now we’ve condemned and thrown Christ to the hounds, ridiculed and blasphemed Christianity out of the narrative of Western democracies we are only to happy to embrace, defend and promote Mohammad.
    Rejecting peace, love and understanding, we inherited war, hateful lies and incomprehensibility.
    It’s natural justice.
    Islam is wrath and it’s coming for you.

      I figured between the LGBT crew and the Muslims that the Liberals would throw the homosexuals under the bus and off the roof tops. More Muslims than homosexuals. More votes. More power.

    First, on the absurd “community standards” of Facebook in what it views as “hate speech.” Such “C.S”. of Facebook are outlandishly wrong to put it in a mild way. For example Facebook has put mu under a thirty day suspension for strongly condemning that murderous Islamic jihadist attacks on Bastille day, July 14 2016, in Paris France. Later, Facebook added to my “charge” another essay i posted denouncing both the stealth jihad and violent jihad of Islam.

    Second, regarding the topic of “homosexual right abuse in Islam.”. The very end in this main top news article reads “Islamic countries have some of the worst records of in the world of Gay Rights.” So true.
    An example of the that that Islamic regime of Iran . As the following essay could be appropriately titled “homosexuals in Iran “and not “Homosexuals who live in Iran.” For many of them are six feet under in Iran as in dead and buried. As exposed in a book by a former Muslims .Which reveals that “Estimates by human rights activists and opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran of the number of gay men and lesbian s executed for crimes related to their sexual orientation since 1979 vary between several hundred to as many as six thousand. According to the Boroumand Foundation, records exist for at least 107 executions with charges related to homosexuality between 1979 and 1990 . Iran is one of the eight countries in the world when homosexual acts are punishable by death; all are Islamic. According to a 2013 report from the IHRDC:” [1]
