Rep. Debbie Dingell Demands Facebook Remove Criticism of Islam

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations has always had friends in high places, and on Wednesday it celebrated another, announcing that it had "Thanked Congresswoman Debbie Dingell - and the 29 congressional colleagues that joined her - in urging Facebook to take immediate action to eliminate anti-Muslim bigotry from that social media platform." CAIR's longtime spokesman Ibrahim "Honest Ibe" Hooper noted proudly that it was "One of several organizations named by Rep. Dingell in her press release announcing the letter."

Joining Dingell in this call for sweeping censorship, according to CAIR, were a rogue's gallery of the most sinister anti-free speech forces in Congress, including Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

No one could reasonably object to removing calls for "Anti-Muslim violence, genocide and internment." The problem arises over the demand that Facebook remove "Anti-Muslim contentbefore it is even seen." CAIR and its allies have for years defamed any and all opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, gays and others as "Anti-Muslim bigotry," lumping such opposition together indiscriminately with calls for "Violence, genocide and internment," stigmatizing it all.

Now Dingell and her henchmen are demanding that Facebook implement policies that will institutionalize and universalize such fascist hysteria.

Even worse, the political climate is so rancid today that Dingell will pay no political price either for her association with Hamas-linked CAIR or for her open opposition to the freedom of speech.

If she doesn't know that Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies have for years been demonizing and stigmatizing honest discussion of the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism as "Anti-Muslim," and that her demands will also likely result in the silencing of such discussion, she should know it.

Dingell is actively aiding an endeavor to silence all criticism of Islam, which is all smeared in the same way, and enabling the tacit acceptance of Sharia blasphemy law, which forbids such criticism.
