Facebook allows praising Islamic terrorists, censors interview exposing them.
Last month, Google AdSense warned us to take down articles about Islamic terrorism, including one about the San Bernardino terrorist attack at a California Christmas party, or we wouldn’t be allowed to be part of their ad revenue program. And we didn’t even have to think twice about it.
After five years of political persecution by the IRS, we’re struggling to financially survive, but we won’t censor ourselves for Big Tech cash. We will go on telling the truth about Islamic terrorism.
A few weeks later, Frontpage Editor Jamie Glazov had his account disabled by Facebook over one of his Glazov Gang interviews warning about the threat of Islamic terrorism in America.
The interview, “Oct 7th Coming to the USA?”, was a continuation of Glazov’s long standing work of bringing attention to the enemy within in books such as “United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and Terror” and “Jihadist Psychopath: How He Is Charming, Seducing, and Devouring Us” and many important articles and interviews that have led to him being targeted.
According to Facebook, Jamie Glazov’s work of exposing the Islamic terror threat, violated its “community standards” and posed a threat to “the security of people on Facebook.”
Which people on Facebook was the interview about Islamic terrorism a threat to?
While Facebook was telling Glazov that criticizing Hamas and other Jihadists posed a threat, its Oversight Board had ruled that the company should stop taking down posts calling Islamic terrorists “shaheeds” or “martyrs” because it violated their “freedom of expression.”
On Facebook, Islamic terrorism supporters have the freedom of expression to praise terrorism, but counterterrorism journalists like Jamie Glazov are banned from exposing them.
While Jamie Glazov has been banned from Facebook, Jihadists routinely operate there.
Telling the story of the barbarous Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 got Jamie Glazov banned, but one of the little told stories of that day is how Islamic terrorists had used Facebook to taunt and terrorize the families of their victims.
When Islamic terrorists broke into the home of Bracha Levinson, a 74-year-old grandmother, and murdered her, they used her phone to post a video of her killing to her Facebook page.
Her granddaughter, Mor, recalled leaving the bomb shelter and “my aunt called my mother, screaming, ‘Open Facebook, open Facebook’”. And there she was, “my grandmother on the ground, in her own home, murdered, in a video. The floor was all bloody.”
Facebook is full of pages supporting terrorist groups, glorifying Islamic terrorist attacks and calling for more of the same. The Israeli government had previously noted Facebook terrorist fan pages for Islamic terrorists, including one who had killed two children.
And Facebook or Meta goes to great lengths to protect their freedom of expression.
For example, “in the past, despite repeated external requests, Facebook has refused to take down a community page called, ‘Stab Israelis.’” Another “Facebook page contained a victim’s photograph with a knife blade almost completely embedded in his head” and the message “there is nothing greater than a knife penetrating the heads of the Jews.”
The proliferation of Islamic terrorists on Facebook led to a lawsuit by terror victims.
The Big Tech double standards on terror speech and counter-terrorism speech confronted by Jamie Glazov and Front Page Magazine are typical of the double standards faced by the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Facebook took down my original page because I spoke out against Islamic terrorism. Twitter, even after the Musk takeover, suspended me for criticizing Islamic violence. Jamie Glazov had been previously suspended by Twitter for mentioning an Islamic Hadith about sex slavery.
Many of us have stories like that.
In 2018, David Horowitz had been censored for tweeting, “but if you’re a Muslim, you might not want to be sworn in on a Judeo-Christian bible, since Islam has conducted a 1500 year war against Christians and Jews, is calling for death to Israel and has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Christians recently.”
PayPal had previously banned Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch which is one of the numerous times that Spencer and his site were targeted by Big Tech platforms trying to suppress the truth.
And Front Page Magazine contributors like Raymond Ibrahim and Danusha Goska have also been censored for discussing the same forbidden subject.
But they haven’t silenced us and they never will.
After all these years and all of these bans, the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the brave men and women associated with it are still speaking out. We may be among the few that are left, who have not bowed to Big Tech and stopped talking about the Jihad and certain other banned subjects, and as long as we are around, that will never change.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center and our people have been deplatformed by Google, Facebook, payment processors like Visa and MasterCard, and more companies than we can count. We had our videos kicked off Vimeo because the Babylon Bee’s Seth Dillon told the truth about the transgender movement and we lost Disqus, our commenting system, because of the smear campaign against us by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And that’s nothing. We’ve spent the last 5 years and six figures fighting an assault by the IRS.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center is among the most censored, deplatformed, debanked and demonized organizations in the country. We may be small, but we’ve already been a big target.
And that’s because we won’t back down.
Jamie Glazov has appealed the disabling of his Facebook account, but has received no response, and he urges people to protest to the Big Tech giant social media monopoly through their Help Center and also via email at disabled@fb.com , support@fb.com and appeals@fb.com. You can also contact Facebook on X (formerly Twitter) at @facebook and @Meta – and of course Mark Zuckerberg at @finkd.
But whatever happens, the Glazov Gang is not about to stop spreading the truth. And neither are we. They can deplatform us, threaten us and censor us, but they will never silence us.
