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

Facebook bans page that shared videos of ex-Muslims discussing how they were persecuted for leaving Islam

Jul 31, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

As the US becomes increasingly totalitarian, only one point of view is allowed in the public square, and that point of view is warmly positive toward Islam, with no criticism allowed. Criticism of Islam is also banned in Sharia.

“Facebook de-platforms page that shared videos of ex-Muslims talking about how they were persecuted after they left Islam,” OpIndia, July 28, 2020:

ExMuslim TV has been de-platformed with misplaced accusations of inciting violence and hate when all they do is post short videos of ex-Muslims narrating the persecution they face. It is unfathomable that individuals talking about how they are being threatened and shunned could ‘incite violence’ by any means, however, Facebook decided to de-platform them simply because they were talking about issues the Left prefers not being talked about.

Facebook, on the 27th of July 2020, unpublished a page on the social media platform called ExMuslim TV, that merely shared short videos of ex-Muslims and the persecution they faced by the community after they had left Islam. ExMuslim TV took to Twitter on Monday to talk about how Facebook was being unjust in banning their page.

Appealing to Facebook to reconsider their decision of banning the page, the Twitter page of ExMuslim TV said, “Our primary purpose is HUMANITARIAN. Most exMuslims who appear here are/were in danger. They either speak to ask for help or to bring hope to others like them”.

In the screenshots shared by the ExMuslim TV Twitter handle, it would appear that Facebook decided to unpublish the page because supposedly, the page went against their ‘incitement and violence’ standards. However, the page is only known the share videos of ex-Muslims who talk about their own ordeal in the videos. In most of the videos shared by the page, Muslims who had left Islam spoke about how they were hounded, persecuted and shunned by the Muslim community after their decision to leave the faith of Islam.

This is the message the Facebook page received before it was unpublished:

Facebook believed that ex-Muslims who had left the faith of Islam talking about their own persecution and appealing for help and understanding somehow posed a ‘genuine risk of physical harm or indirect threat to public safety’.

Further, Facebook informed the page that due to COVID, they have fewer reviewers onboard and hence, may not be able to cater to the appeal by the Facebook page. Essentially, this would mean that ExMuslim TV might not be able to appeal to the decision to unpublish the page by Facebook because the social media giant has fewer reviewers working due to the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic.

Facebook has long been accused of harbouring a bias against anything that goes against the tenets of Liberalism and the Left. In fact, one must recall that recently, they had also released an ‘anti-conservative bias’ report that had made clear that Facebook indeed is biased against anything that goes against the Left and is seen to be remotely ‘conservative’.

With Social Media becoming an ideological battleground, it has often been noticed that platforms selectively target right-leaning platforms in an ad-hoc fashion. Not too long ago, Twitter CEO had “fully admitted“, the platforms “left-leaning” bias.

Facebook has too hugely limited the reach of several pages, many of which are right-leaning. The page owners strongly suspect that their reach is being limited because of the inherent left-bias of these platforms….

      Maybe facebook silences this, since our own national securtiy purged it during the last two previous administrations and Islam sharia made it appear racist, islamophobic, and slanderous ( or dangerous which Phil Haney alluded to and was affected by) ,to even correctly quote it at the request of the OIC nations Islamic voting block, which when ruled by sharia law forbids it. But google does with all its critics allows the printing, but in spite of the political leftist pressure truth gets out and places like J.W. informs the world what is going on worldwide. News outlets turned leftist ,maybe only lately know freedom of speech was meant to protect lives. When ex-muslims speak out they have to worry about other muslims with vengenece, some really leave others not so sure and may wobble printing information due to the dangers or they just go along. I really don’t know. Not surprised. The press has a dangerous job reporting facts…..about unpeaceful ideologies or they are clueless, leftist or converted….by the winds of politics. In my opinion.

    Facebook is part of the RED-GREEN AXIS OF EVIL … the crypto-fascist cult of oligarchic rule over the toiling masses.

    Facebook Philosophy: “We know what is best for you little people. Just shut up. We think for you. Just buy the products.”

    Mark Zuckerberg sez, YOU don’t need freedom of expression … shut up.

    Only have to look at the other wonderful, peaceful organisations FARCEBOOK kisses the butts of. For instance the Chinese Communist Party, They seem to pair up with anyone who’s goal is the destruction of sane western values.

      @Templer. Facebook is not communist or socialist. It is let say as communist as the Communist party of “The People Republic of China. It is representing the most morbid and cruel capitalism.

        Facebook and twitter support a one-party system of top-down rule in cahoots with big corporations and with lots of censorship. The exact term that describes that political system is ‘FASCISM’.

        Facebooks supports fascism.

    An acquaintance sent me this Facebook link: “Holocaust survivor, Roman Kent urges Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg to remove Holocaust denial from his platform”. https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FClaimsConference%2Fvideos%2F765596927521633%2F%3Ft%3D116 The request appeared to me as naïve, as the treacherous deceitful Facebook adage: “Our Mission to make the world more open and connected”. Facebook doesn’t give a shit on Holocaust denials. Facebook is solely interested in; not a bad word on Islam, diversity, and damage political-correct multiculturalism is bringing. People who have seen Zuckerberg on Fox News in the Congress, could obviously see how frightened he was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-FlWZ1BOcA He was not the self-assured Zuckerberg in his appearance for the Senate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQN4On0K7-w. where he was on safe ground. Zuckerberg is a billionaire, though, he is totally dependent on his shareholder; his buddies from NWO. They had picked up Muslims as aids who will helped them to conduct the depopulation of Europe. So, they instruct Facebook (and other Social media) to avoid publishing in the name of: “incitement and violence standard”. It had already happened that publications on WWII were erased in the name of inappropriate. A Norwegian woman who publish very often on WWII Nazi atrocities, was warned not bring any more such stuff on Facebook; otherwise she would be banned. She kept on doing it, and she was banned for a while. Facebook is also used as a giant SPY NET …MODERN GESTAPO that provides illegally information on its users. It had transferred information on 50 million users. Zuckerberg said : “it was a mistake and he is sorry for it”. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/technology/facebook-hack-data-breach.html

    Facebook is actively helping those who would destroy this country. It’s either for financial gain, or out of hatred for this country and its Christian orientation. Or both.

    Aug 1, 2020 at 10:36 am

    Guys, there must be some way to legally address this instead of sitting there waiting forever for the government to stop them.

    I know when we talk about this, *always* you get the same boring “smart”asses who say stuff like “it’s a private company they can do what they want” blah blah.

    But there must actually be a legal angle that they can be sued from that just hasn’t been thought of yet. If someone says to you that you’re “inciting violence” when you’re not, that should not be allowed. They are abusing and insulting you.

    Maybe it comes under verbal harassment or emotional distress or whatever. Someone HAS to stop these psychotic facebook nerds somehow, and teach them not to abuse both US and the English language.

    Come on. If anyone who runs ExMuslim TV is reading this, you must seek legal recourse, I’m telling you you have to do something about it.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 1, 2020 at 11:06 pm

      Concern over government censorship does not actually make anyone a wise ass. It is a serious concern, whatever you might think, and is far more likely to be pro-Islam than anything else.

    FaceBook give it the finger and quit using it, avoid purchases from their advertisers. MONEY always speaks loudly.

    FaceBook knows that it will take a major amount of money for someone or some group to file a successful lawsuit against them, so they feel safe that it won’t happen.

      Don’t agree completely, since national security allowed the U.N. to to silence speech about Islam, information. Besides does he have an security or army to protect itself??? It is not on just other masses of land it’s here in great numbers and if an element unstable.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 8, 2020 at 8:28 pm

      Well, this is a ludicrous observation. What does a Muslim look like–since this is an ideology, not an ethnicity?

      Robert Spencer’s ancestors did flee the Ottoman Empire, due to persecution–so what this fool means is that Robert Spencer looks rather like some of the victims of Muslims.
