Twitter agrees to removal of anti-Semitic posts

See THIS is how you do it. Not one Jew blew himself up or killed anyone else because of the anti-Semitic posts

I think it's about time the Muslims get a law against bad things said about them, then the violence will stop!

I agree. But you have to ask yourself, why did Twitter bow so quickly to Jewish pressure, but refused to budge on insults hurled at Islam and Prophet Mohammed? Double standards.

Case in point:

Here's the difference.

Making fun of a certain deity or his followers (for worshipping that deity) is free speech.
But calling for people to kill or attack or in any other way harm those followers is not protected speech, that is hate speech.
and unfortunately a lot of Muslims are notoriously guilty of the second kind of speech.

Perhaps things might change when the mock jews on google.

Having said that, it is a good thing to remove these sorts of things. We cannot lie and says muslims are chilled peaceful people. They are not, they get angry at stupid things and then go kill for it.

Comparing jokes about jews and muslims, maybe jews will make a bit of noise, muslims will go kill people. Obviously i am not talking about every muslim on the planet.
 
People need to get over themselves.

"Oooh I'm offended by that" - well so what ! Grow another layer of skin and get a life.

People who are easily offended are usually the ones who are actively looking for the smallest things to offend themselves with.

What do u mean "lots of muslims" ?
There's more Christians that molest young boys, not fanatical Christians but people referred to as "father" as they are the leaders of the congregation, but you don't see Christians being labelled as molesters.

Jews, well you can't use the words 'freedom of speech' when speaking anything not good about them, you become an anti-semite. Double standards is what it is.
 
When did we became such a bunch of cry-babies, running to mummy every time the other children called us names.

I guess when we coined the term politically correct. Well it may be politically correct but it's spineless and stupid.

Someone calls you a name, if the cap fits then do something about it, if it doesn't then wtf get into a froth.

It should be the same but protection from insult cannot lead to freedom of speech being to oppressed.

One needs to be careful about the definition of an insult.
It cannot be what is offensive in your eyes.

So insulting tweets generalising about Jews and Muslims - yep those can be censored.

However tweets that poke fun at a religion or depictions of Christ, Mohammed or whoever are not over the line.
You dont have the freedom not be be offended.
We cant censor everything some says about Judaism, Islam or Christianity because it offends someone.WHat would be left?
* So referring to Jews and Muslims as thieves or bombers would be over the line.
* Having a satirical at Moses, Mohammed or Christ I am afraid would be fair game.

Many Christians were up in arms at Monty Pythons "Life of Brian". Lets face it it made fun of Christianity, Christ, Christians etc.
I found it funny despite my own religion.
It may well be blasphemous but we dont have to watch it.

Those who find LOB blasphemous are the very people the movie is taking the p out of. It's about Brian, mistaken for the messiah, so it cannot possibly be blasphemous.

What it is is a satire against practices of organised religion and when the real messiah is shown he is not mocked, but the interpretation of his message by the flock certainly is.

I agree 100%. The people it peed off are the self same people that it was teasing.
Of course the Python movies did have a full crack at the religion which I am fine with. Fair game.
My point is that blasphemy in some peoples eyes isnt blasphemy in our eyes.
Even if Christ was mocked a bit in LOB why should that be disallowed?
Blasphemy is not against the law of most countries so you can't stop it in those countries.

Which brings me to depictions of Mohammed.
I understand that certain Muslim sects (is that the word?) are offended by any depiction but in most cases it is not hate-speech. It is merely a depiction. If it pokes fun at the religion I am afraid the followers have to suck it up.
(Note I am not commenting on the youtube clip which I havent seen and don't intend to. I have read articles from the whole political spectrum and they are almost unanimous that the clip was crap in all ways. LOB was at least funny)

Sigh, so much confusion and so many lies compacted into one image. Just for example, who has been jailed or killed for insulting homosexuals again, remind me? Last I checked, insulting homosexuals was common. What double standard is there? That's just to start with.

Just to put that picture into context of your post and this thread.
Nobody even needed to protest in the first place,Antisemitism is already banned by the law.Maybe if the same protection was afforded to Muslims then they wouldn't be getting so angry.

Contrary to what many atheists here believe,the Prophet is very close to us as Muslims and a mockery of him is a mockery of every Muslim directly since we strive to follow his example to the tee.Anti-Muhammed IS anti-muslim.

Genuine criticism is welcome and healthy in any society,and if someone wants to criticize the Prophet then so be it ,there are times and places to do it but making a downright mockery of him in cartoons etc is just out of line.

To put it into context for you many on the forum have criticized the Prophet and his ways,we were given a proper opportunity to answer those criticisms and some people either accepted our answers or didn't,but it was done in a proper constructive way and nobody got angry or wanted to attack each other etc.Cartoons are crude at the very least and completely one sided creating a wrong impression,you could say it is probably the worst form of propaganda in the media today offering very little room for different viewpoints besides what the cartoonist wants to push forward.

I am very interested to see where anti-Semitism is banned by law? Which law precisely? In which country?
Discrimination is against the law in South Africa, but certainly not anti-Semitism in specific.

Lets not kid. There would riots and murders no matter how Mohammed was depicted. It's not about mocking/critical, it's about the depiction.

Yes there are some people who would still do stupid things,But my point is the cartoons even anger passive Muslims like me who would never get violent etc.....they were largely anti-Muslim...the prophet is very close to our hearts and an attack on him is an attack on us.The cartoonists were well aware of this and actually intended to spew their hate speech about Muslims using Mohammad.

Lets not act ignorant,we all know the cartoonist was attacking/mocking Muslims.So the picture is true,attack Muslims its fine its freedom of speech in france but attack jews and its antisemitism.
