If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know that I have no hesitation about singing the praises of the ex-Muslim commentator Apostate Prophet. AP is not just your normal run of the mill ex-Muslim commentator, but is someone who was highly educated in the subject of Islam by clerics who had good intellectual standing in Islam. If his life had not taken the turns it did and if he had not taken the steps to question what the ideology of Islam was telling him he would probably be a celebrity Dawa merchant, gathering up the naive and the stupid into Islam and enforcing Islam’s dictates on its believers. Thankfully he saw sense and got out of Islam and now spends his time debunking it, often using Islam’s own texts and its own theology.
As would be expected Apostate Prophet comes under attack regularly from Muslims who do not like their views being challenged. Sometimes these Muslims challenge AP with criticisms that are based on Islamic theology, which AP can easily bat away and debunk. However, what with Islam being the violent death cult that it is, AP is often the target of death threats.
AP’s complaints to Big Tech platforms about these death threats are not taken as seriously as they should be in my view. However it’s worse than that. The Big Tech platforms, including Twitter, appear to permit threats of violence and threats of death to be carried on their platforms, when these threats are coming from favoured groups such as Muslims.
AP’s response to some of the extremists and those who threaten death and to Islamic terrorists in general has been to mock them. Mockery is indeed a good way of dealing with tyrants, whether they be political or religious ones, as there’s nothing a tyrant hates more than mockery and they hate it because it undermines their power.
Unfortunately Twitter does not see this the same way. Despite Apostate Prophet getting a shed load of death threats and abuse, those who have treated AP in this way are not sanctioned. Instead Twitter has suspended AP accusing him of ‘promoting violence’ even though he does not do this and was instead reporting on terrorism and mocking the violent extremists of Islam.
This is what Apostate Prophet said:
Apostate Prophet has joined the hundreds of thousands of others who Twitter has banned either because the Leftist lynch mobs don’t like someone’s opinion or because some Islamic bedwetter has decided that it’s time to be professionally ‘offended’ on Islam’s behalf by what has been said. I tend to agree with the below the line commentator on the piece above who said that to be banned from Twitter is a badge of honour. Looking at the long list of interesting people, not all of whom I agree with on everything or even in some cases anything, who have been banned from Twitter I find it difficult to disagree with the idea that being banned from Twitter means that you have something interesting to say and also something that others do not wish to be heard.
Twitter is a dying cesspool of a platform. It’s the place where freedom of speech goes to die. It has been made that way both by Twitter’s management and also by that management’s propensity to listen to the whines of the Left and to the perpetually and professionally ‘offended’ screeching banshees of anti-’Islamophobia’ groups and other Islamic entities.
Whilst I would hope to see justice prevail and see Apostate Prophet restored to Twitter, I no longer expect such justice from a platform that is now a foe of the idea of freedom of speech. Apostate Prophet should, in addition to pressing Twitter about his case, because it will at least provide more evidence of Twitter’s bias, join one of the growing alternatives to Twitter such as Gab or Parler. I’m pretty sure that on these platforms he will be welcomed but he will also be assured that activities such as making credible and immediate death threats which don’t come under the heading of freedom of speech, will be dealt with.
