Twitter bans ex-Muslim for criticizing Islam

Image
Would Twitter ban atheists for attacking Christianity? Not likely. But an ex-Muslim — who is under several death fatwas for leaving Islam — is banned for posting true statements about Islam and Muhammad. Twitter Declares War on Ex-Muslims David Wood, Acts17 Apologetics , February 12, 2019: Jack Dorsey's Twitter recently banned the Apostate Prophet for a tweet that stated indisputable facts about Muhammad, the Quran, and Islam. Should social media platforms be banning ex-Muslims and critics of Islam, who are under Sharia death penalties for apostasy and blasphemy?

Islam defeats Free Speech in Europe

Image
European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) sets ominous precedent, enforces Sharia restrictions on speech concerning Islam, criminalizes criticism of Muhammad. In Europe, Free Speech Bows to Sharia By ANDREW C. MCCARTHY, National Review , October 27, 2018 Europeans are free to say only what the courts let them. When he was 50, the prophet of Islam took as his wife Aisha, who was then six or seven. The marriage was consummated when Aisha was nine. This is not a smear. It is an accurate account of authoritative Islamic scripture. (See, e.g., Sahih-Bukhari, Vol. 5, Book 58, Nos. 234–236 .) Yet it can no longer safely be discussed in Europe, thanks to the extortionate threat of violence and intimidation — specifically, of jihadist terrorism and the Islamist grievance industry that slipstreams behind it. Under a ruling by the so-called European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), free speech has been supplanted by sharia blasphemy standards. The case involves an Austrian woman (identified as “Mrs. S....

'First they came for Tommy Robinson...'

Image
The UK arrested, charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced Tommy Robinson in one hour. The UK judge presiding slapped a gag order on the press. These are the actions of a totalitarian regime, one which, in this case, seems to have sold its soul to Islam. I was immediately reminded of the poem, 'First they came...' Written by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (†1984), the spare verse exposes the cowardice of German Christians and intellectuals during the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis to power: Engraving of the poem 'First they came...' at the New England Holocaust Memorial, Boston MA. First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up— Because I was not a Catholic. Then they came for...

Leo Hohmann: 'Have U.S. Christians already lost the right to publicly speak against Islam?'

Image
“Those who are in denial, who don’t think there is Christian persecution, or who even think there is more Muslim persecution, those pastors better wake up, better be aware, that you now have Christian conferences being closed down by these Islamofascists, Antifa, the SPLC, they’re all working together.”  — former Muslim-turned Christian Pastor Shahram Hadian 'Axios!' to Leo Hohmann for exposing these thuggish tactics being used to silence Christians warning about the threats from Islam.  Christian broadcaster Brannon Howse on the set of his Worldview Weekend radio  and Internet podcast show. “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ” – John: 15:18-19 By LEO HOHMANN , April 13, 2018: It’s no secret that the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood-l...

Leo Hohmann - 'Deep state attacks: Gov’t ‘Fusion Centers’ spying on patriots concerned about Islam'

Image
"[Government] fusion centers know no boundaries, including the U.S. Constitution, says constitutional attorney and civil liberties advocate John Whitehead. 'The word mosque, it’s key words like that. If you don’t like mosques, they’re gonna be after you, they’re watching you', said Whitehead, founder of the Charlottesville, Va.-based Rutherford Institute. Being an 'activist' also draws the attention of the fusion centers, he said. Deep state attacks: Gov’t ‘Fusion Centers’ spying on patriots concerned about Islam By LEO HOHMANN, LeoHohmann.com , March 16, 2018: Brenda Arthur received an unexpected visit on March 8 that, one week later, leaves her feeling more than a little uneasy.  At her door that day was an officer with the West Virginia State Police. He wanted to know about her involvement in a Freedom of Information request regarding a local mosque.  Arthur, who will turn 67 this summer, serves as leader of the West Virginia chapter of ACT For America, whose mi...

Google enforcing Sharia Law, blocking ads containing the keyword 'jihadwatch'

Image
At some point this blog will no doubt be shut down by Google. Before that happens I hope to have an independent hosting service lined up to host Facing Islam. But no matter what we do,  the 'powers and principalities' will do all they can to stamp out any public presentation of True, Apostolic, Orthodox Christianity, and any true, Apostolic, Patristic, Christian criticism of Islam.  I have not experienced any problems yet of this nature. That is no doubt due in large measure to the fact that I have never tried to monetize this blog. I have been criticized by some family members for not doing so, but to me, it is far more important to do all I can to expose the lie of Islam and advance the Truth of Jesus Christ as lived and experienced in the Orthodox Church, than to try to make a few dollars from your clicks on distracting ads. I do hope at some point to offer some ebooks of my writings for sale here. We'll see what happens when the time comes. True Christianity itself is b...

The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies)

Image
“Stay Quiet and You’ll Be Okay” That’s what Mohamed Atta told the doomed airline passengers on 9/11. And we still hear the exact same message today, from the powerful but shadowy lobby that is working behind the scenes to gut the First Amendment and prohibit “hate speech”—or any criticism—of Islam. Available from Amazon in Kindle edition, paperback, MP3 and audiobook. Also available from Barnes & Noble. The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies) About the Book As bestselling author Robert Spencer shows in his startling new book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies), Islamic supremacists and their appeasers have mounted a dangerous and disturbingly successful campaign against our constitutional rights. Spencer reveals: How social media behemoths Facebook and Twitter—not to mention student groups at American college campuses—are doing the bidding of anti-First Amendment Muslim activists Why core Islamic teachings make criticism of Islam pu...

OVERREACH: PAYPAL BANS JIHAD WATCH, THEN BACKS DOWN

Image
The Left suffers a setback in its war on the freedom of speech. I have been following this story since August 18, when Robert Spencer posted at Jihad Watch about ProPublic contacting him for comments on a story they were working on. The query to Spencer from ProPublica contained a thinly veiled threat implying the leftist group was going to use its story to try to force companies like PayPal, Amazon and others to terminate their relationship with Jihad Watch and other counter-jihad sites in order to cripple its cash flow. The entire endeavor was an obvious hit piece and smear campaign targeting Robert and Jihad Watch for their tireless work in reporting on stealth and violent jihad as Islam seeks to force the world to submit to the rule of Allah. Make no mistake, this is part of the spiritual battle taking place, the "powers and principalities" whose initiatives we see reflected in the actions of their minions here on earth. For background, see these articles (sequential, ol...

Patrick Henry: 'There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!'

Image
And Islam = submission and slavery, when it doesn't equal beheadings and death. What would Patrick Henry say today, seeing the West respond to Islamic jihad attacks with candles and teddy bears ? So, for America's Independence Day, here are the closing paragraphs of Patrick Henry's ' Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death'  speech, with a few edits to suit our own darkening days: There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard at every TSA security checkpoint, and in the accusations of 'Islamophobia'! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.  It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, [Islam means] "Peace, Peace," but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!  The next gale that sweeps from the Middle East will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wi...
