This is why we have taken on the social media giants, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in our federal lawsuit concerning theses violations of our First Amendment rights.

Our legal team, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC), filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of our organization, AFDI,  challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) under the First Amendment. “Section 230 provides immunity from lawsuits to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, thereby permitting these social media giants to engage in government-sanctioned censorship and discriminatory business practices free from legal challenge.”

Facebook has punished me, of course. They have censored by Facebook posts as “hate speech,” blocking my work from the close to one million followers of mine on Facebook. Where I used to have upwards of 40 to 50K referrals from Facebook per day, now I have a thousand, give or take.

Facebook Accused of ‘Persecution’ After Shutting Down Pages Supporting Muslim Apostates

By Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart, May 13, 2017:

Facebook has been accused of waging “intellectual persecution” against atheists and ex-Muslims, after it repeatedly allowed conservative Muslims to take advantage of the site’s inappropriate content flagging system to have pages run for Muslim apostates shut down.

On Monday two prominent pages, Ex-Muslims of North America, which has 24,000 followers, and Atheist Republic, which boasts 1.6 million followers, were shut down after being targeted by Muslim groups.
The two pages offer assistance to people who have left the Muslim faith. Both were deemed to have been “in violation of Facebook’s community standards.”
In response, president of Ex-Muslims of North America, Muhammad Syed, has written Facebook an open letter in which he accuses the social media giant of not doing enough to protect “groups vulnerable to malicious attacks”.
He wrote: “Ironically, the same social media which empowers religious minorities is susceptible to abuse by religious fundamentalists to enforce what are essentially the equivalent of online blasphemy laws.
“A simple English language search reveals hundreds of public groups and pages on Facebook explicitly dedicated to this purpose – giving their members easy-to-follow instructions on how to report public groups and infiltrate private ones.
With the help of the Arab Atheist Network, Mr Syed has identified a number of sites targeted in this manner. Atheist Republic has been shut down four times in the last two years, he said, but also attacked were A Science Enthusiast (750,000 members), Humanitarian Non-Religious (32,000 members), and the Arab Atheist Network (23,500 members), along with six others, all with followers numbering in the thousands.
[the_ad id=”90673″]
“Arab atheists, Bangladeshi secularists, and numerous other groups have been under attack for years, as religious conservatives in the Muslim world learn to abuse Facebook’s reporting system to their advantage,” Mr Syed wrote.
The two pages at the centre of the row were reinstated upon appeal, but Mr Syed believes that Facebook should do more to protect them from malicious attacks. He has called for a “whitelist” of groups vulnerable to attack, and for Facebook users who regularly abuse the reporting function to be penalised.
Speaking to Heat Street he said: “Many of these groups are not simply pages – they are communities in which atheists who are abandoned by those around them find comfort, support and emergency assistance in case of persecution or abuse. The closure of these groups means the loss of these vital resources for the isolated and vulnerable.”

Islam has been here for around 20yrs. waiting for the moment….now. They have had plenty of time to weave into our American Fabric…hating us to ‘death’ all the way. People who stand up for Islam who are US Citizens, you will not be safe from Islam. You think you will…but you won’t. Islam hates you more I bet.

Zuckerboy is afraid he’ll be looking for his torso if he allows anti-Islam thoughts to be published on his crappy website. He’s a major league coward placating the ROP out of fear – not because he really believes in that evil, anti-human “religion”. Markie is a scaredy cat!

Let us get our termed of reference straightened out for once and for all. islam uses its own definition of terms, in complete compliance sith shari’a. This has nothing to do with what the meaning of a word actually is. The islamic definition is what is used.
Remember, “For a Muslim, insult is not necessarily saying something untrue about Islam, but to say a reality which a Muslim doesn’t like to hear about his religion, or he does not want it to be known about his religion”. islam is all about appearances, maintaining the fiction that mutgonad,. police beat upon him” was the perfect ass, errr, man.
Nonie Darwish summed the difference between islam and anyone else:
• We are all sinners vs. They are all sinners.
• Life is sacred vs. Death is worship.
• Jesus died for us vs. We must die for Allah.
• Jesus came to save us vs. We must save Muhammad’s reputation.
• Judge the sin, not the sinner vs. Judge the sinner not the sin.
• God the redeemer vs. Allah the Humiliator.
• Confession of Sin vs. Concealment of Sin.
• At war with the Devil vs. At war with flesh and blood, the enemies of Allah.
• Truth will set you Free vs. Lying and slander are an obligation.
• Changing oneself vs Changing others.
• Self-Control vs. Controlling others.
• Vengeance is the Lord’s vs. Vengeance is prescribed to Muslims.
• Love your enemies vs. Hate Allah’s Enemies (non-Muslims).
• Work Ethics vs. Wealth through conquest.
•Kingdom of God is not of this world vs. Allah and the Islamic State are one.

Jihad may be waged against injustice or an unjust nation, as Islam defines the terms. Classical texts say Islam is justice, and no Islam is injustice. Therefore, a “just war” can be waged against a nation or people who do not submit to Islam.
face book are willing suckers in their humiliating and shameful grovelling to islam. What could have been a tool for social betterment, has turned into a propaganda instrument of islam. Destructive to decent people.

Pretty much every positive value in our culture, is inverted in Islam. That seems the simplest way to untangle the knot. J.F.C. Fuller first gave me the idea of inversion, when he was trying to unravel a very tangled up doctrine, until finally he realized, all you have to do is invert everything 🙂

It sounds like something out of “Alice in Wonderland”, “When I use a word it means only what I intend it to mean, nothing more”.

I can’t blame the hierarchy of Islam to be for any good in the world except evil. However, I do blame Zuckerberg for removing sites and has blocked me from commenting a number of times. It’s okay for Facebook to allow Luis Farrakhan to post that his black followers of 10,000 racist should kill whites. Why is this allowed? I hope Trump breaks up Facebook, because it’s a monopoly.

There should be a face book monopoly card, “go directly to hell, do not pass “go” do not collect 200 dollars”.

I got tired of being threatened with shut down with messages from FB that could not be copied. I am an old women in the mid west just stating my opinion…guess you don’t get one on FB unless they agree with it.

That’s the big thing these days, organized, well-funded, large scale attacks on critics of Islam.

Solution? Boycott facebook. I did. Once they lose a significant number of members they will beg us to return.
