You can’t joke about the Islamic state? Or tie it to Islam??? Islam is the reason for their existence. The furor over this video shows how much Sweden has deteriorated. We are constantly admonished that the Islamic State (ISIS, or Daesh in this article) had nothing to do with Islam, but when it is mocked, suddenly Muslims are offended. You would think the Swedes would wake up. But they won’t.
“‘I’d Rather F*****g Detonate’: Jihad-Mocking VIDEO by Swedish TV Rocks Public,” Sputnik News, March 3, 2019:
A music video mocking jihadists and Daesh* has caused strong reactions among the Swedish public. The flood of angry comments and threats has prompted national broadcaster SVT to remove the video from Instagram.
Story continues below advertisementA satirical video about Swedish citizens who have joined Daesh by the humour program Svenska Nyheter (“Swedish News”) run by comedian Jesper Rönndahl has triggered mixed reactions.
In the hip-hop clip that combines real footage with rapping in mock accent, comedians joke about Islamists motives for going to Syria, such as lacking wi-fi or a recreation centre, and their homesickness when the “caliphate” lost its influence in most of the Middle East.
“My mother told me, ‘Mohammed, you have to integrate’ // I responded, mother, I’d rather f****g detonate”, the protagonist with a fake beard and a turban raps about his dream of becoming a “f*****g IS-traveller”.
“Now send food and clean underwear”, a “repentant” terrorist raps later on, culminating with the chorus “Sweden should have fallen for Allah, but something went wrong”.
The clip also takes a swing at Swedish politicians’ notoriously lax attitude towards radical Islamists and includes lines such as “I phoned Gustav Fridolin and demanded: Gimme cash // I need a cultural benefit to be able to join Daesh”. Fridolin is Sweden’s former Education Minister from the Green Party.
The video also includes footage of former Culture and Immigration Minister Birgit Friggebo from the 1990s trying to get an immigrant crowd to sing “We Shall Overcome”, which was considered a major embarrassment.
However, when SVT posted the video on social media, its channels were overwhelmed with comments. On Instagram, the broadcaster had to turn off the comments after the comments section “degenerated into verbal attacks”. The video was later removed from Instagram altogether.
“SVT is able to handle criticism, but we cannot have our followers be tramped upon in the commends field. If SVT cannot offer an environment for constructive dialogue, then we consider it a better option to close the comments field”, the broadcaster wrote as quoted by the news outlet Nyheter Idag.
According to screenshots by a user, reactions on Instagram included open abuse such as “f*****g sons of b****s” and death threats.
“The fact that such types became triggered is a sign that ‘Swedish news’ hit the right stop with its Daesh satire”, he ventured.
SVT’s Facebook page, was also overwhelmed by reactions, receiving some 900 comments. There, the reactions were somewhat more restrained, but many viewers voiced criticism nonetheless.
“One can joke about [Daesh], but not in such a tasteless way”, was a common theme of reproach, while many argued that SVT was wrong to link Daesh with Islam. SVT was also accused of “de-humanising people from the suburbs by claiming that their main ambition is to become a terrorist”, as well as spreading “racist stereotypes”.
At the same time, many viewers were totally happy with SVT’s performance.
“Well done, SVT! The fact that people are laughing at this shows just how accurate the video was. Then the fact that some Swedish snowflakes are seriously upset by poking fun at [Daesh] is beyond my understanding. Still, keep up the good work” a user cheered.
“Lay off, all you easily offended types. No normal person should be offended if you make fun of [Daesh]. You can make fun of KKK too, and as a Christian I won’t be upset at all”, another one commented.…

Facebook Still Championing Blasphemy Laws
by Judith Bergman

…
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg now appears to be more intent on censorship than ever. In a recent memo, written in mind-numbing, bureaucratic obfuscatese, he described his plan to discourage “borderline content”, a concept appearing to be so meaningless as to encompass anything that Zuckerberg and Facebook might ever want to censor.
A report published in the Wall Street Journal on January 8, noted that Facebook — and Twitter — executives removed activist Laura Loomer from their platforms after Zahra Billoo, the executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) San Francisco Bay Area chapter, complained to them. What Facebook fails to disclose is that CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing case in US history. CAIR has also been designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates.
Billoo herself, according to Jihad Watch, “In tweets that remain publicly available… has expressed her support for an Islamic caliphate and Sharia law. She also claims, in multiple tweets, that ISIS is on the same moral plane as American and Israeli soldiers, adding that ‘our troops are engaged in terrorism'”.
Facebook, however, appears to be “creatively” selective in how it chooses to follow its own rules. In France, a prisoner identified as Amir was accused in November of publishing ISIS propaganda from his prison cell using a smuggled phone. Facebook, apparently, took no notice.

(It just goes on and on and on and on and on defending Islam and Muslim terrorism. THAT IS ALLOWED.
Being critical of Islam and Muslim terrorism is NOT ALLOWED.)

What most don’t understand is that when Facebook bans someone, they can’t even access their page to delete it. Imagine owning stock and being told that millions, billions more are account holders. What they won’t release is how many are blocked accounts.

I saw this on Swedish News, “Samhallsnytt.com” I laughed heartily and was surprised at the
negative comments. I read a few of them and realized that 99.99% was from muslims in Sweden.
They were all threatening, used the f-word and most often threatened to f-word your Swedish mother,
little sister or brother. They always resort to this whenever the smallest, little nuance/hint of
criticism comes their way.

I watched a video on youtube that was just hilarious. It was a Dean Martin Roast of Sammy Davis Junior. The jokes, told today, would cause a serious uproar. We have become more IN-tolerant, not tolerant. You can’t joke about anybody, or anything without some snowflake getting offended. President trump tells a joke and asks Russia to find Hillary’s missing emails and he is accused of collaborating with Putin. It was a fucking joke, you liberal morons.
