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

Sharia YouTube: “Muslim” keyword allowed, “Christian” keyword banned

Jul 28, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Google/YouTube labeled Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager “Nazis,” and buries content that portrays Islam in a negative light, even if it’s accurate, but jihad terror preaching is OK with them. And this new incident makes YouTube’s bias crystal clear.

“YouTube Bans Keyword ‘Christian’ but Allows ‘Muslim’ in Public Service Ad, Veteran Activist Says,” Sputnik News, July 26, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

According to former Marine and founder of a group helping US war veterans Chad Robichaux, the Google-owned video platform has deemed the word in question to be “unacceptable content” that violates the giant’s advertisement rules. At the same time, an experiment of his reportedly showed that the word Muslim was permitted.

Head of the Mighty Oaks Foundation Chad Robichaux has complained on Twitter that his organisation, which helps combatants through post-traumatic stress disorder, had been prohibited from tagging its YouTube ad with the keyword “Christian”.

“Insane! Censorship should terrify every American; conservative or liberal, Christian or Muslim. This bias is a dangerous course for America”, he posted.

We ran a @YouTube ad for our veterans ministry outreach for those in need & it was denied for the word “Christian”. Insane! #Censorship should terrify every American; conservative or liberal, Christian or Muslim. This bias is a dangerous course for America. @MightyOaksFDN pic.twitter.com/at5CsAfEht

— Chad Robichaux (@ChadRobo) July 23, 2019

​The social media team at the Google-owned video-hosting giant soon replied to his accusations, insisting that “religious beliefs are personal, so we don’t allow advertisers to target users on the basis of religion”.

“Beyond that, we don’t have policies against advertising that includes religious terms like ‘Christian’”, the YouTube team posted.

However, this response prompted accusations of double standards against the platform, as Robichaux responded that his organisation had managed to run “the exact same ad with the keyword ‘Muslim’”, which was approved, in contrast to the “Christian” tag. He also insisted that his group had run ads with the keyword “Christian” for years, including garnering 150,000 impressions for that word in the ads this year alone….

    Is not it getting started to be slightly paranoid?

      If you are referring to youtube, then yes, they are, but it’s worse than that, they are intentionally biased.

    It’s official! Persecution, censorship against Christians, etc…..

    And on infowars yesterday was an article from the Wall Street Journal comparing the French revolution to the pattern that is being seen here with things like Antifa, and that the end result will inevitably be a bloody and violent revolution along the same pattern. That was the gist of what I could make out, go and see it. I tried but you have to subscribe to read it all and I don’t want to subscribe. But that lead me to another interesting item. I googled for it instead under the term ‘reign of terror’ which was used in the short part of it that I could access. Well what I discovered no one ever told me about in history class, and at one time I even briefly taught this portion of history in a make shift arrangement in class albeit I have never been a history major. And no one knows everything, I do know a lot about history but we always learn something new. I have never claimed to know it all, and no one else does either. Anyway…. this part was never mentioned in the textbook about that revolution. The part that I’m referring to is that there was a very big ‘de-Christianization’ component to the French revolution! They wanted to eradicate Christianity and religion in general from society! It was related to the Enlightenment and the age of reason and all of that stuff. (and probably the illuminati as well…) They became atheists and worshipped reason. They had even renamed the Notre Dame Cathedral as ‘The Temple of Reason’! And many other things like that. They persecuted the clergy and it was a very big bloodbath with guillitones! Later they did return to deism and acknowledged an abstract ‘supreme being.’ But who knows how many unknown martyrs came from that time, and history does not talk about it? Anyway, that would be another parallel with what is going on today in society, trying to criminalize Christianity and erase it from society on every front, and this is yet another example!

      Mighty Oaks promote “getting off the X”
      — and cite “Exodus 14”:

      1 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. 3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ 4 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did this.

      5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” 6 So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. 7 He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. 8 The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. 9 The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen[a] and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.

      10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”

      13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

      15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”

      19 Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

      21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

      23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. 25 He jammed[b] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.”

      26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea. 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.

      29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.

      AMEN

    There will come a day when the social media giants may need the backing of those they have sidelined, marginalized, and scorned.

    I don’t think most civilized people will be all that eager to help them. I hope that going out of business will be the ONLY thing that happens to them.

    There’s something bothering me with this story. We have these two pics:

    https://twitter.com/ChadRobo/status/1153693873887014912/photo/1

    and

    https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAP3wcyUEAQpD3r.jpg:large

    The first is the rejection of the word “Christian” as a keyword, the second is the word “muslim” in the keywords field. I’ll state right now that I don’t have a monetizable YT channel so I’m not certain of how their monetization process works. With that said, the first pic shows a partial screen while the second shows what appears to be an input page. From my experience with sinikar processes, there should be an “accept”/”continue” button, or something along those lines which, when pressed, would either redirect to another page (page 2 out of 2, Confirmation) or give an error and expect until said error ware corrected to advance. On the second pic, it’s easy to see it’s page 1 out of 2. On the first, I don’t know because it’s only a partial screen capture. My question is: why not simply enter both “christian” and “muslim” (or even more religions) in the keywords field and show the end result where “Christian” was deemed unsuitable for ads but “muslim” wasn’t?

    All religions are equal except one religion is more equal than others. Furthermore, another religion, Christianity, is actually less equal than others. Double Orwellianism here.

    I wonder how the mostly leftist employees at google youtube etc will handle living under sharia law. I say give them 6 months and they would be begging for Christian charity. Probably be crying out for us to save them from their own stupidity.

    Hiding evidence of the crimes of the world’s oldest and largest ongoing crime and murder gang is to endorse as willing accessories both before and after the fact, those very same criminals and their chosen crimes. In short, lock up the owners and managers of YouTube and its owner, Google. Since one of the most common islamic crimes is treason to all national sovereignties, execute them all for that same sedition and treason, too.

    This type of racism is nothing new. On Facebook if you post anything critical of islam you will get a message from FB and they will delete your post. If you post “some of the ideals of islam aren’t good for the west” they will delete that, if you post “Christianity is a horrible religion and all Christian’s need to be murdered” facebook will do nothing.
    Facebook has giant warehouses full of people in the Middle East who just constantly type “islam/muslime” into the search and report delete you and your posts. I’ve tried this myself and it’s true.

    Apple devices are just as racist towards Christians/Christianity. Type on your iPhone any version of “Christianity” and it does not auto type the rest of the word and you will certainly not have an emoji pop up when you type it. Now type any version of the word “muslime/islam and it will auto finish the word and emojis pop up instantly without hesitation each and every time.

    The most ridiculous is that islamaphobia is a word on iphone text app and it will auto finish the word for you and the islam emoji pops up. Now try typing any version of the word “Christianophobe” and no, it will not auto finish the word and obviously no emojis pop up.
