TWITTER 'ENFORCING ISLAMIC BLASPHEMY LAW'
WND ^ | 20 January 2019 | ART MOORE

Posted on 01/20/2019 8:12:37 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Twitter is virtually enforcing Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy law, contends an author who recently was informed by the social-media company of a complaint that his book analyzing the minds of Islamic terrorists violated the Muslim-majority nation’s notorious statute.

“It’s just absolutely surreal and Kafkaesque that a social-media giant in the free world is trying to enforce blasphemy laws — or, for now, carrying the message,” said Jamie Glazov, the author of “Jihadist Psychopath.”

It was a tweet promoting his book that drew the complaint. Twitter then informed Glazov of the complaint and suggested he hire a lawyer.

Referring to the Pakistani Christian mother now in hiding after being jailed for a decade on blasphemy charges, Glazov said Twitter “basically is “saying it’s on the side of those masses in Pakistan rioting on the streets that want the blood of Asia Bibi.”

Is is also possible that Twitter is acting out of fear, trying to avoid the kind of terrorist reprisal experienced by the Paris magazine Charlie Hebdo?

“There are always layers,” Glazov said, noting he addresses the “Stockholm Syndrome” phenomenon in his new book.

Many in the West, he said, will “ingratiate themselves with these totalitarian entities, because they want to avoid the punishment.”

“So they try to out-radicalize their potential executioners.”

‘Protecting a beautiful society’

Glazov, the editor of David Horowitz’s FrontPage Magazine and host of “The Glazov Gang” show, left the Soviet Union in 1972 at the age of 9. His parents were both dissidents who spoke out against human-rights abuses by the communist regime during the Leonid Brezhnev era.

Glazov said his effort to expose the threat of supremacist Islam is rooted in his “love for America and freedom.”

“I dedicate myself to protecting a beautiful society, an experiment like this that cherishes individual liberty,” he said.

"Many in the West, he said, will “ingratiate themselves with these totalitarian entities, because they want to avoid the punishment.”

That may be part of the reason, but I think it's mainly hatred of Christianity - along with egotism - that inspires pro-Muslim sentiment on the left. By supporting Islam, they are virtue-signaling their imagined tolerance, even as they try to push Christianity out of the public square and into the closet. For some strange reason, they think they can control and co-opt Islam just as they've co-opted liberal Christianity.

Wait until these morons get a full dose of living under sharia if the muzzies ever come into a position of power.

It would be a form of savage justice; since they would have none of the mercy of God or His grace, let them live under that which is merciless and graceless.

Sort of like the German industrialists who thought they would be able to control the Nazis once they came to power.

Twitter’s action is probably driven by company lawyers’ desire to inoculate the company from potential charges of inaction by Pakistani “authorities” (although right now it is just a complaint). It is also driven by self-interest. Pakistan has a large population and there are probably millions of Twitter users who could turn away from the service if a big enough outcry was made about the blasphemy.

By the way, what’s Twitter go for again? I dropped Twitter years ago & there are better methods to IM and PM. The blue bird is way over rated.
