DEFENDING THE WEST: WordPress betrays free speech

Exclusive: Pamela Geller covers anti-jihad site getting pulled after CAIR complaint
The Hamas-tied Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been calling for some time for the anti-jihad website Bare Naked Islam (BNI) to be shut down because of some of the comments that appeared there, and last Thursday they succeeded again.
WordPress (the blog platform BNI uses) first responded to CAIR’s anti-free speech campaign by shutting down BNI in late November and then reinstating it; then last week, when they shut it down again without warning or explanation, the thugs at CAIR immediately did a victory dance and claimed credit. However, BNI’s publisher told me in an email that she contacted WordPress, and they responded by saying that “CAIR had nothing to do with their decision.” WordPress also told her that they “should have given me notice instead of dumping the site as they did.”
Nonetheless, she told me that WordPress still wants BNI off their servers by Jan. 6. They have made this demand despite the fact that, per their earlier request, BNI has been monitoring comments closely since Nov. 26, when WordPress first shut down the site. This is how BNI’s publisher explained to me what happened after WordPress shut down the site again last week:
“I allowed them to delete ALL comments prior to 11/26 and they did. After that I was very careful to delete anything that could be deemed a threat. In CAIR’s press release today, they mentioned the comments from the other post all of which were deleted immediately. There were no new comments that they listed today.”
Yet they still shut down the site last week, and even though they’ve reinstated it, they want it gone within a few days. And even though they deny that CAIR had anything to do with it this time, they’re the ones who raised the complaints about BNI in the first place. And that is inexcusable. That any rational freedom lover, and any American business, would listen to the enemies of free speech at Hamas-tied CAIR is beyond the pale.
CAIR’s hypocrisy is astounding. Across the Web, I have seen innumerable calls for a second Holocaust, for the killing of Jews, for the killing of conservatives, the killing of blacks and the like. I have been called a “neo-kikess” and have been libeled, smeared and defamed – not least by Hamas-tied CAIR itself, which is a veritable libel machine.

We all need to stand by BNI in these times where a supporter of terrorism can coerce a blog hosting group to censor it’s clients. If it is let to stand, they will become bolder as the days pass. Thanks again CAIR for showing your true colors. You are again just a stinky skid mark on your kinds underwear. All bloggers need to carefully examine who their carriers for their blogs. We all need to move our blogs to supporters of free speech who have the back bone to resist any hindrance of censorship. We must not go quietly into that night.
LOL. I think it’s hilarious that CAIR thinks they won, when BNI found a better host who won’t cave to CAIR!!! CAIR did BNI a favor because now she has a place that won’t shut down her site just because whiny babies complain! Ty cair 😛
CAIR will take ANY credit for anything they can find, so that they they can gain the upper hand in peoples mind. So that muslims can appear as victims and the rest of our anti-jihad siotes are the villians. Stepp one to all of us in the anti-jihad union….find a pay server. Never mind the free ones, they have no loss when they remove you. I believe BNI was on a free one, but I could be wrong…..
We should take a look at who hosts CAIR and see what we can do there…but then again….Geller is probably already working on it.
@Simon…..Piss-off you Troll.
So you mean to tell me Muslims do not scream “Kill em’ all”
Jews ,Christians, Infidels etc? Destroy the West and all of America?
No more PC bullshit….A F***ing Spade is a Spade.
Drupal is a superior web content management system, anyway. WordPress sucks.
People don’t understand the transaction: Bare Naked Islam has effectively used CAIR’s much greater resources and infrastructure as a recruiting tool for Crusaders, to help them find their way into the counter-Jiahd movement through BNI and allied websites. It’s counter-intel 101.
BNI took CAIR for a ride. They were first fished out of the shadows as monitors and would-be censors, forced to confess their illicit agenda and, by implication, show their true colors – who they represent – then sent on a tirade to flame up cyberspace with free advertising for BNI.
Oh what fun! These devils can only think like devils. If they were lucid enough to be a worthy opponent for purveyors of truth, they wouldn’t be Muslim to begin with. Either way, Islam loses. This is the advantage good always has over evil.
thanks for oyur insights, Ms. Geler. as ever, oyu tell the turth about the jihadist threats. yes, CAIR is working to destory freedom fo speech when it comes to Islam. they fear the turth will cause people to rise up and fight the Death Cult.
It was intimidation, I know,
when CAIR says:”it is so”,
you had better along go,
or suffer some woe…
The alternative is to show some spine,
and tell um to shove it where the sun don’t shine.
KKKK I don’t know if I agree with your approach there.
I’d say to be stern certainly, but you dont want to be aggresive either.
