Instantly Censors Pics of Muslims Michael Savage Posted… But We’ve Got Them 12/11/15
(Conservative Tribune) – There is an
ongoing debate in this country over whether Islam is truly a “religion of
peace,” as claimed by the left, or a potential security risk because of the
threat of radical Islam, as maintained by the right.
Outspoken conservative author and
radio host Michael Savage waded into the debate recently by posting on his
Facebook page several pictures showing Muslims protesting in London
in 2006, angry over the publishing of cartoons depicting their prophet Muhammed
in a Danish newspaper.
However, the post containing the
pictures was quickly taken down by Facebook, with a message sent to Savage
explaining that the social media site “determined that it violated Facebook
community standards,” according to WND.
There was no further explanation as
to why the post had been removed, other than a link directing Savage to
Facebook’s “Community Standards” page, which list “hate speech” and “violence
and graphic content,” as well as nudity, for possible reasons as to why the
post was prohibited.
It is worth noting that the only
“hate speech” and “violent content” contained in the post was that which was
written on the placards and banners held by the Muslim protesters, some of
which read “Behead those who insult Islam,” “Freedom go to hell,” “Europe. Take
some lessons from 9/11″ and “Be prepared for the real Holocaust.”
The occurrence left Savage wondering
exactly what triggered Facebook to remove the post, the violent hate speech
exhibited by the angry Muslim protesters in the pictures, or his own “hate
speech,” for posting the pictures of the angry protesters and pointing out that
Islam is not always a peaceful religion.
Sadly, this has become a question of
late, considering that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has publicly
expressed his support for Muslims who may feel “persecuted,” not to
mention recent comments by Attorney General Loretta Lynch threatening
to prosecute anyone espousing anti-Muslim rhetoric.
One thing that is not in question,
however, is the fact that the protest in 2006 really did occur, and the angry
Muslims really did carry signs threatening violence against those with whom
they disagreed.
Even the notoriously liberal-leaning
“fact checker” Snopes.com reluctantly confirmed the event and
authenticated the photographs.
So did Facebook take down the post
because of the violence and hate espoused by the angry Muslim protesters, or
did they take it down to protect the ephemeral image of a peaceful Islam that
liberals try to project?
Either way, freedom of expression is
freedom of expression. Americans have the right to see these pictures and to
share them.
Please share this on Facebook and
Twitter to help spread these pictures that Facebook apparently doesn’t want
anyone to see.
