Twitter, which has come under fire of late for censoring posts its team deems inappropriate — meaning, conservative in ideology or critical of Islam — has just labeled an opinion piece about women in Iran removing their head scarves as “sensitive material.”
Here’s what happened.
Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch retweeted this Twitter post:

“We are not fighting against a piece of cloth,” Ms. Alinejad told me. “We are fighting for our dignity. If you can’t choose what to put on your head, they won’t let you be in charge of what is in your head, either.” https://t.co/5K1OK0Pf5b

And it wasn’t long after that a Jihad Watch reader alerted him to this message, from Twitter:
Why?
That’s the big question, isn’t it — why would Twitter find an opinion piece based on the factual reporting of Iranian women liberating themselves from the head scarf?
This is a cultural jihad, an attempt of the media to water down the truths of Islam and create a hyper-sensitivity toward the religion that the U.S. Constitution does not recognize — that America’s First Amendment does not allow.
Or, as Spencer puts it: “Twitter, like Facebook, seems determined to implement Sharia norms regarding speech.”

It really is hypocritical that in the West, where the Powers that Be are lauding the Suffragettes for their fight against inequality 100 years ago, Twitter and others try to play down or ignore the Iranian women’s fight against their own country’s brand of oppression, for fear of offending Islam.

No outlandish satire, no irony can compete with the modern Western feminist defense of the degradation of Muslim women.

The left has always tried to side with Islam against freedom. Sad and pathetic, but not shocking if you really think about it.

Twitter is another lame stream media toady of islam. It has no balls, it is a grovelling snivelling excuse for a legitimate information service.

“Mohammed knew that most people are terribly cowardly and stupid. That is why he promised beautiful women to every courageous warrior who dies in battle. This is the kind of language a soldier understands. When he believes that he will be welcomed in this manner in the afterlife, he will be willing to give his life, he will be enthusiastic about going to battle and not fear death. You may call this primitive and you may laugh about it, but it is based on deeper wisdom. A religion must speak a man’s language.”
Heinrich Himmler
I draw your attention to “…most people are terribly cowardly and stupid.”
