Facebook censors Michael
Savage post of Muslims protesting, Photos
show demonstrators warning 'Behead those who insult Islam', 12/10/15 http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/facebook-censors-michael-savage-post-of-muslims-protesting/
When Muslims held a demonstration in
London in 2006 in protest of cartoons depicting their founder, Muhammad, many
bore signs warning of beheading and death for “those who insult Islam.”
Talk-radio host Michael Savage thought that amid a fierce national debate on whether or
not to allow Muslims to immigrate to the United States, it would be worth
considering what has been happening in Europe.
So, he posted on his Facebook page
photographs of the Feb. 3, 2006, demonstration outside the Embassy of Denmark
in London. The focus of protest was the publication of editorial cartoons
depicting Muhammad in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. Snopes.com
verified that the photographs were taken at
the London demonstration, with the exception of one, which was from a protest
in the English city of Luton.
Wednesday night, Facebook
removed Savage’s post, explaining the social media site “determined that it
violated Facebook community standards.”
Facebook has not explained why it
deleted the post, but it provided a link to its “Community
Standards” page, which lists “hate speech” as one
of its prohibitions, along with “violence and graphic content,” and nudity.
Messages in placards held up by the
London demonstrators included “Behead those who insult Islam,” “Freedom go to
hell,” “Europe. Take some lessons from 9/11″ and “Be prepared for the real
Holocaust.”
The Facebook post on Savage’s page
included text from an email that has circulated for many years: Why would anyone think that we should be at
war with such nice, peaceful Muslims?! You need to forward this one to everyone! These pictures tell it all! Muslims
have stated that England will be the first country they take over! These are pictures not shown on American TV
or in American Newspapers – WHY?! They
were forwarded by a Canadian friend who thought ALL Americans ought to know!
The question is whether the Facebook
violation was because of the hate speech exhibited by the Muslim protesters in
the photographs or because of the act of posting the photographs and the text.
Savage suspects it was the latter.
He noted that President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan of Turkey praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg Thursday for
Zuckerberg’s Facebook post Wednesday in support of Muslims who fear “they will
be persecuted for the actions of others.” “What more needs to be said? Erdogan
is a dictator who censors all critics, banishes opposition politicians and
arrests journalists,” Savage told WND.
“It would be like Hitler
congratulating an American media mogul for saying, ‘Not all Germans are Nazis,
and Hitler is misunderstood,’” he said. “How can another Jewish liberal
billionaire be committing cultural suicide? Why are liberal Jews so blind to
their own survival? Why do they always side with their enemies?”
Savage said it’s only a matter of
time before “any and all criticisms of Islam will be considered hate speech by
Zuckerberg and the Obama goons.” “I am banned in Britain and soon banned from
Facebook?”
In 2009, Savage was banned from
entering the U.K. by Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s government, which lumped him
together with Muslim jihadists and leaders of racist groups for “seeking to
provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred,” as WND reported.
Last week, Attorney General Loretta
Lynch told a Muslim activist group that she would prosecute anti-Muslim
rhetoric that “edges toward violence,” sparking widespread criticism that
prompted her to walk back the remarks. This week, the British government posted
online a citizens’ petition calling to ban Republican presidential front-runner
Donald Trump from entering the United Kingdom.
In May 2009, then-British Home
Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that Savage was on a list of 16 people banned
from entry because the government believed their views might provoke violence.
Smith said it was “important that people understand the sorts of values and
sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it’s a privilege to come
and the sort of things that mean you won’t be welcome in this country.”
A year later, Prime Minister David
Cameron’s new government informed Savage it would continue the ban unless he repudiated statements made on his broadcasts that
were deemed a threat to public security. Again, the government didn’t cite any
statements.

75% of
all Brits are PC brainwashed, even the Brits who came here and became US
citizens. Appeasement didn’t’ work with
Hitler, so why should it work with Muslims ?
The difference between then and now is the PC brainwashing job the UN
did on the UK. The Muslim invasion in England is really ugly and really
suppressed by the UK Media and government.
