Muslims, including terror-linked Muslim groups, on the other hand, face virtually no censorship on Facebook, certainly nowhere near the level that pro-Israel and persecuted Christian groups encounter.
JTF Facebook has reportedly removed an image of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir from a pro-Israel group’s page, HonestReporting, claiming it violated community standards, but it has yet to do anything about the many anti-Semitic and anti-“Zionist” images posted on the global social network.
The now-deleted image featured a quote normally attributed to the former prime minister, which says, “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” “According to Facebook, our picture of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir would lead to a ‘genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety,’”
It does not appear, however, that Facebook’s moderators apply this standard uniformly.
A search of the network shows that multiple anti-Semitic and anti-“Zionist” groups, including “Death to America and Israel,” “Zionism is Terrorism and Therefore Must End” and “Death to zionism,” are still up and running.
Along with calling for the an end to Israel and “Zionism,” these same groups are also engaged in the active distribution of anti-Semitic propaganda, most of it in the form of crude political cartoons.
Raymond Ibrahim writes: Facebook is at it again—censoring the (Christian) victims of violence and sexual abuse while covering up for their (Muslim) abusers.
A few months ago, I wrote about how Facebook had variously “punished” and censored me for writing about the Muslim persecution of Christians. The only explanation the “social media giant” gave was that I had offended its “standards.”
If there were still any ambiguity as to Facebook’s true motivation, consider the following story which was reported by ReMix earlier this year:
A UK-based Catholic charity has accused Facebook of censoring its campaign to protect Christian women who have been exposed to violence in predominantly Muslim countries.
Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) had launched a digital campaign in November to raise awareness of the violence often experienced by persecuted Catholic women in Islamic countries, and had chosen to spend money on Facebook to promote its posts.
However, the social media giant opted to severely restrict the organization’s ability to publish adverts online on Facebook, whilst simultaneously banning the charity from its affiliated platforms, Instagram and WhatsApp.
The campaign had been directed towards United Nations authorities and the UK government, and had included a report titled Hear Her Cries which detailed the acts of sexual violence committed against Christian women in Muslim-dominated countries such as Nigeria, Mozambique, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan and Syria.
For the record, the plight of Christian women in Muslim nations is, indeed, deplorable. That is because they suffer from a “double whammy”: they’re both women and infidels. Thus, in the words of a 2018 report dealing with the Muslim persecution of Christians, “The most significant findings were that Christian women are among the most violated in the world, in maybe a way that we haven’t seen before.” Six women were raped every day simply for being Christian, the report found.
Much of this traces back to Islamic law. Inherently harsh—its ultimate source is a seventh century Arab man, Muhammad—Sharia is still harsher for women. Men have “authority” over women and may beat them for disobedience. The prophet said women are significantly less intelligent than men — two women are needed to equal one man’s testimony — and the majority of hell’s denizens consist of women, whom Muhammad further likened to donkeys and dogs in their ability to distract a man from his prayer and thereby annul it.
The subhuman treatment of non-Muslim women by jihadi organizations such as the Islamic State or Nigeria’s Boko Haram—where “infidel” women are bought, sold, gang-raped, mutilated, dismembered and burned alive—is relatively well known (thanks to ISIS itself, for disseminating images and videos). Lesser known is that “infidel” women are treated in similar ways all across the Muslim world, as explained by a 2016 report.
Unfortunately, more and more women are the target of [Muslim] terrorist groups. There are numerous international incidents of women being kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert from Christianity to Islam by radical extremist groups…. Many are also sold on the open market.
This brutality is not only occurring in the Middle East but in Africa and in many other places. In many of these countries, women are subject to persecution because they are considered second-class citizens because of their gender. As minorities in both gender and faith, Christian women face double the persecution. Although we don’t have an exact number, we know that millions of women are being persecuted…. In these Muslim-dominated countries, Christian women are systematically deprived of their freedom to live and are denied basic human necessities.
Despite this pandemic that plagues the Islamic world, Facebook has decided that such information must be censored or heavily curtailed. As the ReMix report continues:
Facebook restricted the ACN’s [Aid to the Church in Need’s] campaign by 90 percent in November, explaining to the charity that it had taken the measures to limit the charity’s reach due to a number of users reporting the ads as “offensive, misleading, sexually inappropriate” or “violent.”
For the record, openly libeling organizations or websites that specialize in exposing and seeking to redress ongoing atrocities committed against Christian minorities as “pornography” is an old, communist tactic. According to Brother Andrew, author of the bestselling God’s Smuggler, that’s exactly what the Soviet Union labeled and confiscated smuggled Bibles as—pornography (p.227).
Indeed, and as discussed here, “Big Tech” has used the very same tactic against me—banning my website, which is largely dedicated to exposing the persecution of Christians under Islam, on the claim that it is “pornographic”.
WiFi networks of several businesses ban access to raymondibrahim.comwith the following explanation:
Meanwhile, censoring the victims of Islamic violence and abuse is only half of the problem. The other half, which few know about, is that Facebook and other social media and big tech do not censor Muslim hate speech and calls to violence—even calls to behead Christians—so long as such talk only appears in Arabic or other non-Western languages, thereby largely shielding it from non-Muslim eyes.
Despite Facebook’s zeal at censoring so-called “hate speech” and “offensive content,” violent, radical, and murderous content from Muslim terror groups is allowed to appear on and make use of the social media giant’s platform. According to a recent report,
Facebook allowed photos of beheadings and violent hate speech from ISIS and the Taliban to be tagged as “insightful” and “engaging”…
Extremists have turned to the social media platform as a weapon “to promote their hate-filled agenda and rally supporters” on hundreds of groups…
These groups have sprouted up across the platform over the last 18 months and vary in size from a few hundred to tens of thousands of members, the review found.
One pro-Taliban group created in spring this year and had grown to 107,000 members before it was deleted, the review, published by Politico, claims.
Overall, extremist content is “routinely getting through the net,” despite claims from Meta – the company that owns Facebook – that it’s cracking down on extremists.
There were reportedly “scores of groups” allowed to operate on Facebook that were supportive of either Islamic State or the Taliban, according to a new report.
Yet Facebook, now renamed Meta, still maintains a policy (below) which apparently does not apply to Muslim terror groups:
Update: More evidence of Facebook’s discriminatory policies continue to surface. Most recently, according to a PJ Media report titled “Facebook Blocks Christian Children’s Book Publisher From Advertising”:
To appreciate just how much YouTube’s decision is based on preventing Americans (especially its youth, its future) from understanding the threats Islam poses—and thereby empowering Islam vis-à-vis America—consider the videos I made for Prager U, which are among those currently being restricted by YouTube.
One of my Prager U videos, titled “The World’s Most Persecuted Minority: Christians,” is dedicated to shedding light on the plight of Christians, specifically in Muslim lands, where the overwhelming majority of persecution takes place. It too is censored.
In other words, shedding light on what many Western authorities have referred to as a “genocide” of Christians, is, for YouTube, as “inappropriate” for youth as sexual, graphic, or hate filled videos. Needless to say, not only are there no real images in the video (sexual, graphic or otherwise), but I attribute the violence against Christians to “fundamentalists” and “fundamentalist interpretations” of the Koran, meaning there’s no “hate” either.
Linda Rivera says
Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush……
Radically ANTI-GOD Facebook are rabid Jew haters/rabid Christian haters.
Facebook is deeply committed to preventing the world’s non Muslims from knowing their EXTREME DANGER from the Muslims our traitor governments colonized our formerly safe, Christian nations with.
Many decades ago, English politician, Enoch Powell, warned that
RIVERS of BLOOD will Run in Our Streets.
Aniko+Mattison says
the jews are the worst antisemites, especially the liberal leftwingers. Disgusting, it’s like doing your business into your own bed. I don’t know how can they face the mirror.
BareNakedIslam says
Agree.
