We all already know that American media is soft on Islam, and maybe even protective at times, for whatever reason. And anyone who dares to even breathe anything negative about Islam or muslims, is immediately labeled islamaphobe or any other scary name to condemn them for speaking facts.
Ok to talk down or talk shit about white men and christianity, 24x7x365... Which I am ok with as far as talking and debating... but it should be that way all the way around - aka equal.
All these social media folks ban anyone on the right for lame comments - and now critical of Islam? Really?
I may not fully agree with all of these site. Admittedly, some are extreme, but usually contain FACTS - and then of course add in opinion - like all news sites. I don't like them and I don't read them. BUT, that's the same with the endless folks on the right getting banned for single posts where the lefts disagrees with them. :rolleyes:

WordPress.com Blacklists Blogs Critical of Islam
Popular blog hosting platform WordPress.com has begun a censorship spree, blacklisting at least two blogs dedicated to monitoring the spread of radical Islam.
The blog Creeping Sharia, which documented what it describes as “the slow, deliberate, and methodical advance of Islamic law” was taken offline by WordPress earlier this week. Visitors navigating to the long-running blog are now met with the message “creepingsharia.wordpress.com is no longer available.”
“This blog has been archived or suspended in accordance with our Terms of Service,” explains the message.
On its official Twitter account, Creeping Sharia claimed that WordPress.com’s decision to suspend service followed a warning from the hosting platform that one of its posts violated Pakistani blasphemy law. Creeping Sharia says it received a similar warning from Twitter after tweeting a link to the piece.
WordPress.com also banned the blog Muslim Statistics, which was dedicated to collecting and presenting ” international statistics, government statistics, newspaper articles and reports related to Muslim immigration and Muslim issues in non-Muslim societies.”
Unlike the major social media platforms, which often use the excuse of “hate speech” to ban critics of Islam, WordPress.com does not appear to have a clearly-defined “hate speech” policy. Instead, its user guidelines specifically state that it will not remove “hyperbolic or generally offensive language.”
