Yes if they were Anti-jews they might end up in Prison (all Europeans and Americans agree on that , there is a red line what you might say against Jews ) Bravo Facebook for not allowing racist bigots on your site

I don't understand why face book caved into these muslims like every one else does. Muslims are too sensitive. Why is it you tell me that it's perfectly ok for muslims to bash jews, christians and other non muslims? What about them having web sites bashing non muslims? OH but wait thats ok for them to do it. Truth is muslims cant take criticism. We non muslims need to start a petition to bring back the anti islam group. Seems to me there is a lot of double standard here by face book..I was under the impression that we have freedom of speech here, aparently not..

Dr. Tariq Ramadan came to SFU to talk about the ideas in his book Radical Reform: Islamic Ethics and Liberation. I had the opportunity to interview him as well as some Muslims who had interesting opinions and perspectives.

I thought people might be interested to see this.

Bloody hell you people dont give it a rest
The Quran contains many lies and threats. Islam is false, no god exists, and someone should say that loud and clear. Heaven and hell are fables, prayer is a waste of time, and angels and jinn are obviously mythology. This is not a group against Muslims. They have it bad enough. If you doubt that go to Palestine. If you hate Muslims or are here to harrass them or promote your religion, go away. Muslims can be and usually are peaceful and respectful.

Keel " Ah! Sensitive Muslims. Wait until they become a majority in North America! Kiss Freedom of speech goodbye.

You better believe it. Tolerance will wipe out the white race from the face of the earth.

==================================

Somehow I suspect/hope it'll be somewhat better to past atrocities, such as when the Hebrew tribes invaded and slaughtered their way through the land of Canaan , or when the Crusades slaughtered Jews and Muslims.

Hmmm. whatever the excuse, be it religion or other, the nature of the beast has not changed for thousandans of years,

(wink) cheers.

It is interesting to see the trends as they form, right in front of us.
I have a blog that covers news, politics, and pop culture.
Social Networking and technology are forming the new changes in human behavior. Chat rooms forums, live talk. I have just started a Live Radio show.
The point being that there are many new, economical ways to communicate on a large scale. Social networks form the core, because traditional word of mouth advertising is still highly effective.

Read More and Listen to the Live Radio Talk show about Islam and watch our videos.

face book must remove all the hate group like those who insult the religions(Islam, christianity, judaism) or believes or even individuals. u have the right to talk, to express ur opinion, ur disagreement with me but u don't have the right to insult me.
u have the right to say that i'm not right, that i'm wrong or u don't believe a word from what i'm saying.....
but,
u don't have the right to say damn u, go to hell, f**k u, or any nasty words & i guess there isn't two human beings on Earth wouldn't agree on the nasty words.
so what is the benefit does facebook get from the hate groups?why do this hate groups still exist until now on facebook?when will facebook do its role to avoid the racism, hate, fight, pain& disunity.

I'm a muslim, and I'm proud to be.
I don't think that this was a hate speech, cuz the guys just expressed his belief and disbelief to what Islam states.

But then again, I just read the comments in this link, didn't see the whole page.

If he doesn't feel Islam is for him, then so be it. He doesn't hurt Islam at all by not being one.

And for those who jumped right away to comment that Islam doesn't incourage free speech are just a bunch of people who just don't know it, but tend to talk to make others think they are educated and well informed.
Shame on you.

Everybody is free to belive what they like, we are not to judge or throw punishment.
All of us are gonna have a fair questioning form God himself after the end of life on earth.

Till then, peace be upon all of you, and I wish God's guidance to the lost minds.

Vicious, despicable anti-Christian comments such as those by Kathy Griffin (who speaks truth to power) should be celebrated and protected by the Freedom of Speech Clause of the First Amendment. Comments even mildly critical of Islam should be considered a hate crime. Why? The evil straight white christian males have all the power. Islam (like Judaism) has no power. Hate crime prosecution protects the powerless victims of evil straight white christian males.

I think that there is a popular misconception about the defence of human rights as a glamorously international pursuit; a misconception exploited by conservative nationalists and middle-class liberals alike. As Forghani makes clear in her letter, the struggle for an end to human rights abuses is far from glamorous and in her case is not for a 'minority' or 'ethnic group' - that those on the far right like to tell us are being privileged over a now mythic 'indigenous peoples', the white working-class - but for the familiar and local people in Iran - her mother, brother, neighbour, as well as the poor village girl in a distant province. Her fight is against abuses that come in many guises: class, racial, economic, sexual, territorial. Recently, when watching (too late at night) the documentary film on the building of Israel's apartheid wall, Mohammed Alatar's The Iron Wall, the one thing that struck and wounded me the most was the level of abuse the West Bank Palestinians were made to suffer on an hourly, daily basis. Abuse is shamefully banal and when we abuse we all become ugly thugs, no matter our professed belief system or our superficial markings of piety or liberalism. Young settler girls who have been taught to throw stones and insults at Arab children walking to school, have themselves been abused by being subjected to the hatred of their parents. Abuse is local and if the individual wants to fight it they do not need to board a plane with a fat salary from an international NGO, they have to confront their own abusive behaviour and that of those around them.

As a member of facebook and an Israeli, I come across "Israel is Lies" and "Boycott Israel" groups on Facebook every day - and these are the moderate of the bunch, some groups call for the destruction of my country and the mass genocide of everyone I know.

Personally, there's a deep feeling of insult that I find hard to shake off. I can imagine that some Muslim Facebook users felt similarly when they stumbled upon this group.

I don't think this has anything to do with sensitivity which is "extremely high". One doesn't need to be an over-sensitive individual to find such a group offensive. When many people group together to talk about how much they hate what you believe in, it hurts.

Good for Facebook for taking the group down.

This post is so unclear, you headline by saying the group was removed after user complaints, but in the last paragraph you say the group is live. Which is it?

Its one thing to not believe in, debate, or have issues with something. Its a whole other thing to visciously attack and belittle others. Athiests and theists are free to believe what they want, but neither side can or should attack the other as stupid or with obscenities.

And for those who make the argument "if this was about white people, no one would say anything," what kind of logic is that? your way of dealing with a situation is to bring up other hypotheticals? How about forming a rule for yourself, and sticking by it, rather than go after others for sticking up for their rules.

So was it anti-islam or just pro-atheism?
