“This is America, not Canada and not Europe — we’re supposed to have free speech,” said director Michael Hansen.
Yeah, that’s the way it used to be, but not anymore. Now the social media giants are determined to allow only one point of view — and who has the power and the will to stop them? The freedom of speech is nearly a thing of the past and soon will be altogether, while conservatives pontificate about how these malevolent monopolies are private companies and so nothing can be done about them.
“YouTube Follows Amazon, Censors ‘Killing Europe’ Islam Documentary,” by Allum Bokhari, Breitbart, August 6, 2019:
YouTube blacklisted Killing Europe, a documentary about Islam and mass immigration in Europe that had previously been hosted on the platform for over a year, just days after Amazon Prime made the same decision.
Unlike Amazon, which said it censored the documentary due to “quality” concerns, YouTube accused the documentary — a critical examination of immigration in Europe — of violating its “hate speech” policy.
The documentary is a mix of on-the-ground footage and interviews, including interviews with ex-Muslims, British politicians, and victims of the notorious Rotherham rape epidemic.
“This is America, not Canada and not Europe — we’re supposed to have free speech,” said director Michael Hansen in a video message to his subscribers. “So why is it that they’re working so hard to [pull] my movies down?”
Supporters of the documentary have since uploaded it to BitChute, a decentralized free-speech oriented YouTube competitor.
YouTube’s takedown message to Hansen is as follows:
Hi WeAre138 Productions,
Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy. We’ve removed the following content from YouTube:
Killing Europe (short version)
We know that this might be disappointing, but it’s important to us that YouTube is a safe place for all. IF content breaks our rules, we remove it. If you think we’ve made a mistake, you can appeal and we’ll take another look. Keep reading for more details.
How your content violated the policy
Content glorifying or inciting violence against another person or group of people is not allowed on YouTube. We also don’t allow any content that encourages hatred of another person or group of people based on their membership in a protected group….
Westman says
YouTube: “We also don’t allow any content that encourages hatred of another person or group of people based on their membership in a protected group….”
So who is in the “unprotected group”? Obviously the director of, “Killing Europe”, Michael Hansen, is a member.

YouTube follows Amazon, blacklists ‘Killing Europe’ Islam documentary
…………………………….
This craven crushing of freedom of speech will do much to enable the further killing of Europe–and of the rest of the West, as Infidels will have an increasingly more difficult time learning about the threat of Islam.

Actions like this should be listed as in-kind-contributions to ISIS and Al Qaeda, making them civilly liable for the criminal actions of those groups.
John Hawk says
“We also don’t allow any content that encourages hatred of another person or group of people based on their membership in a protected group…”
My, my. And in the world of the Left, what could possibly be more protected from criticism than Islam? Of course, at that great “getting up in the morning day” when Islamists become strong enough, Leftists will be utterly destroyed by their “protected” pals.

Linda Sarsour, Anti-Semitic Mob Out to Get CNN’s Jake Tapper Fired
https://clarionproject.org/linda-sarsour-anti-semitic-mob-out-to-get-cnns-jake-tapper-fired/
Linda Sarsour and her anti-Semitic cronies have set their sights on CNN host Jake Tapper. As reported by The Investigative Project on Terrorism, the mob wants Tapper fired.
What set Sarsour off this time? (She’s had a run-in with Tapper before, but more on that later.)
Tapper was talking about the power of “tone” – the use of inciteful language in the context of the recent political violence in the U.S. Tapper was making the point that both sides of the political divide need to be consistent — that if conservatives call out the Left for using inciteful language, they need to call out the Right when they do the same thing.
Tapper’s point was, regardless of the political orientation of the violence, “either tone matters or it doesn’t.”
But Jake Tapper committed a “crime” to make his point, using the (truthful) example of Palestinian leaders who incite violence against Israelis with their inflammatory rhetoric.
KWJ says
So, now they’re adding anti-Arab into the mix when Tapper said just Palestinians/Hamas. Tlaib calls them a humanitarian group while Hamas puts kids on TV child programs who say, “I want to kill the Jews.” That’s besides using them as shields and parents encouraging their kids to be in riots and call them martyrs which also gets them a free pass to Paradise. In no way is Hamas humanitarian and the leaders have tons of money but Tlaib doesn’t mention that. Also Trump doesn’t outright tell people to kill others nor indoctrinate kids as young as 3 years old to repeat centuries-old hate.
Good lord these people are so pathetic and transparent.

Is there not ONE “Hacker” out there with a Christian Conservative worldview that can HACK the Amazon and YouTube websites and REMOVE the algorithms, or corrupt them such that it CANNOT remove files? If someone can hack Equifax, I’d think YouTube should be a lead pipe cinch.

Inciting violence in the name of Islam apparently does not violate (!) the rules.

KWJ says
Yep. Another Canadian channel.
DHazard says
“Content glorifying or inciting violence against another person or group of people is not allowed on YouTube.”
Does that mean content like:
“O Muslim, O slave of Allah, here is a Jew behind me; come and kill him – except the gharqad”, or
“I was shown Hell and I have never seen anything more terrifying than it. And I saw that the majority of its people are women.” They said, “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Because of their ingratitude (kufr).” It was said, “Are they ungrateful to Allah?” He said, “They are ungrateful to their companions (husbands) and ungrateful for good treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime then she sees one (undesirable) thing in you, she will say, ‘I have never had anything good from you.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1052), or
Oh, why bother, Youtube should remain consistent and just ban all references to the Hadith, Islam, and the Quran as ALL of them contain content glorifying or inciting violence against another person or group of people. There’s not much left to Islam if you take out all the hatred, the calls to kill, execute or maim other people, the pointless prayers, and getting fat during Ramadan.

Isn’t that what the rating/restriction system should be for?…

“…these malevolent monopolies are private companies and so nothing can be done about them…”
This is how they can get away with it. If it came straight down from the government, people could say; “Hey! That violates the 1st Amendment!” and so forth. But it’s all ‘private.’ So no one can go after them… supposedly. It’s all done through the back door of bureaucracy and technocracy and no one can raise one finger in complaint because of the masterfully orchestrated and constructed framework of it all.
And of course freedom of speech is disappearing even in other institutions, as we know.

A “protected group” means there are unprotected groups which equals division which ultimately means no protected group. A commenter on a NY Times article said that Trump should be uniting us. How? With people using language like “protected groups,” people ditching friends who have different views, people yelling racist and using a person’s color as shield against criticism of the ideologies and agendas, censoring point of views under the guise of “hate speech”…how can a president unite people? He can’t. Uniting means common goals and values and unfortunately some people would rather lose their freedoms than admit some realities. If they keep it up then some of these “protected groups” will not be protected. So You Tube is throwing some groups under the bus.
Some Islamist group probably complained as they do about anything that makes them look bad or perhaps the totalitarian people like in Germany who censor those complaining about mass immigration. So much for criticizing government policies there.
I watched Killing Europe a week or so ago. I guess one of the unprotected groups are victims of mass rape.
Anyway, it’s too late for Europe…it’s reached the deliberately manipulated irreversible point. Some are truly in denial.
Bob Jones says
I watched this film very carefully. It is nothing more than a garden variety film emphasising the hazards and consequences of uncontrolled migration. There is not one word of hatred.
What is really happening is a repeated of European history, that is, Fascism has now galvanised its self once again in countries like Germany,Sweden and the UK..just to name a few. Like the film concludes, people from the fascist left will be the first to be disposed by Sharia law.

IMO a more striking description that Murray’s fine book of how Islamists are destroying Europe especially through intimidation and help from Europe’s political class traitors is Ann Marie Waters’ recent book “Beyond Terror,” which has not yet been banned.

Those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Britain a along with the other countries of Western Europe with result in them not only being ungrateful but even worse yet many of those Muslim migrants becoming so very arrogant to the point that they became criminals . As in some of them engaged in rioting and even rapes of the European girls and women. In addition to this vile brutal behavior by the heinous Muslim who were kindly permitted to enter the nations of Europe to live, As the countries of ,for example France, Germany Sweden, Denmark etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims. This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]
Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq pages 308, 309.
Jhn1 says
Not A religion of peace.
According to former President George Bush
Islam is THE religion of peace, usually stated forcefully while President Bush was standing alongside a “Partner for Peace” iman who himself could be found leading “Death to America” public chants in Mosques if you actually bothered to look.
Walter Sieruk says
It might be of some interest to a few people that that a book with title of JIHAD IN THE WEST published in the year 1998 authored by Paul Fregosi ,was a man who was thinking ,a bit ahead of his time ,as in before 9/11 and then many Islamic horrors of jihad terrorism that hit London, Manchester, Madrid Paris as well as other Western nations of Europe .For above mentioned book of page 411 reads “Most worrying , both Islam and the West see each other as potential enemies of tomorrow .The future is a source of concern , not of optimism.”
For this year of 2019 in the “future” as seen from the time-frame of the year 1998 when that book was published. As the author thus had a valid point in what he wrote in the above quote .
Moreover the threats of the jihadists towards the people of the nations of West .This has been further explained and revealed by in the book , by Robert Spencer ,THE HISTORY OF THE JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS .Which in page 367 informs the reader that “The early twenty- first century saw a sharp rise in jihad massacres perpetrated all over the West by individuals or small groups of Muslims: in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice ,Amsterdam, Madrid, Brussels, Berlin Munich ,Copenhagen…”
Those jihadists /Muslims with their insidious jihad-minded Muslims scheming for the subtle and not so subtle, Islamic conquest of Europe by every possible means, including the stealth and violent jihad which is, indeed, awful.
As explained by William Wagner in his book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD .Which informs the reader n page 195 “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategist who are seeking world dominance.”
Therefore, all Europeans and other Westerners would be wise to be on guard.
SAFI says
The West has been displaying symptoms of a civilization in terminal decline. To revanchists and supremacists everywhere Europe now seems to be ripe for conquest. The always revanchist and supremacist Islam has read those signs and recognized this once in an aeon opportunity to do more than just avenge the defeat of 1683 and this time actually achieve through subversion what the Caliphate’s legions failed to do through force of arms 336 years ago. (What worries me further is that there’s more than just one major revanchist force active in today’s world with China’s plans to avenge its own “century of humiliation.”)
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations ,as in Dusseldorf ,Germany, or be the Muslim terrorists in the other cities of the different nations of Europe as Strasbourg, Stockholm, London, Manchester ,Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military.
For the violent Muslims who are jihadists will only understand the language violent force since that their mindset because the jihadists are men of deadly violence . Of course they are that way because of the religion which is Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran instructs in 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”
Such vicious and ruthless instruction found in the Qu ‘ran reflects the malice-filled words spoken by the Muslim cleric.
