My involvement in Facebook resulted from a Google Alert for "Ban Islam" which linked to a post on the "Ban Islam!!" group. That post included an error which I wanted to correct. That is how I got hooked. I had to register a Facebook account and join the group in order to comment on the post. "Ban Islam!!" grew to more than 3000 members. It was a lively forum with many informative articles.
Then it was gone. No notice, no warning, no chance to save content; it was arbitrarily deleted March 8. I immediately invited my friends to join the smaller, less active group "Ban Islam". Other members invited their friends, and the group grew rapidly. Then, when I refreshed a page after commenting, it disappeared, arbitrarily pulled down just as its larger brother had been. The groups creator started over, and the group was deleted again the next day.
Yes, we did bash Islam. I, for one, cursed it. I tried to concentrate on well documented and logical arguments, but almost everyone backslides occasionally. Muslims joined our groups to comment and sometimes to debate with us. Many of them confined their activities to the wall, posting obscenities, suggestions related to sexually deviant status & activities and insults.
On February 17, two new wall posts appeared, posted by unfamiliar persons: "Ahmad Faris" and "Steve Brule", who posted a list of the administrators of "Ban Islam!!' followed by "they must die", linking the posts to a new Facebook Group "DELETE GROUP = BAN ISLAM!!". One of the members had read the wall posts and saved a screen shot, tagging other members with it. In my haste, I overlooked the death threat, concentrating on the fact that they copied our admin list. I followed the link and saw this.
The Admin list from "Ban Islam!!" in the left sidebar.
Why list our administrators on a page demanding our deletion? There is only one possibility: intimidation. They later added the death threat, in a foreign language. We followed up by reporting them to Facebook, who took no action. At the time of this writing, it is still available. The page has been edited to remove the death threat. I would like to show you the screen shot of the threat. Unfortunately, it was stored in the group's photograph section, which was deleted with the group.
Facebook also deleted several smaller anti-Islamic groups with offensive titles. It appears that Facebook has acted to appease the demands of Muslim groups. Observe the size of some of them. (Click the image for enlargement.)
Unfortunately, Facebook's aversion to "hate speech" seems to be monopolar. Each item in the following list is a link to a Facebook group which attacks Judaism or Christianity. Most of them have an obscenity in their names. Do not click on these if you are easily offended!!!!
In protest of this evident bias, members of the deleted groups are organizing a three day boycott of Facebook commencing at 12:01 am March 31 through 12:01 am April 2.

Ali Ben Ali Mohammad Abdul,
Dwon't cwry wittle Ben Ali Mohammad Abdul. You always have this blog to spew your hate and malice. Advocacy of war crimes, mass murder, intimidation, crimes against humanity and torture is so totally Amerikan, that it and you are welcome at "Right Hooks".
Keep looking for other wittle things to soil yourself over.

Ema,
Where's your outrage at the restriction of free speech guaranteed by our Constitution? Or is it that you truly are a Muslim and truly align with them, rather than with our Constiution? Your panties are showing....

Domestic "christian" Terrorist,
Scream 'fire' in a crowded movie theater. Sure. Freedom of speech. Ya. Right.
Of all the wittle things to cwy about. Pla ease.
Yes, tell the world how your sacred writes of fwee spweech is being taken away. One has the right to say what ever one wants. It does not mean one can say it without restraints. Get over it hate monger.

Ema, 'Islam is evil' is the same as "
Scream[ing] 'fire' in a crowded movie theater" ???
Only to those who are threatened by opposition to Islam...which narrows you down to either being a Muslim terrorist, or a Muslim terrorist in a sleeper cell in Winchester, Virginia.
Your turban is showing.

Domestic "christian" Terrorist,
Oh cwy me a wiver.
"Your turban is showing."
You cannot help yourself, can you? You must show your ignorance at every opportunity. A turban is a _man's_ headdress worn chiefly by Muslims in southern Asia.
