Laura Loomer banned from Twitter after criticizing Ilhan Omar

Is Islam a strictly single text religion?

Oh, so you DIDN'T say that Jews and Christians did it?

I'm not guessing anything! I'm not saying that you are correct or incorrect! I'm just asking if you can back up your assertion with a source! Obviously you are totally and utterly incapable of doing that!

 

Let me remind you... you first started with "Does religion not influence culture?"
As if the FMG is part of the muslim religion that influenced the culture.
You than caved in that the ancient Egyptians already did it, predating Islam by centuries.
And now you're downplaying the Quran and how not important it is, when FMG isn't mentioned in it?
Now that is rich. lol

I did.

You're asking me now to source the wikipedia page of FGM, because you're too dumb to find it, and don't know anything about it... yet you've been posting about the subject for weeks. Reason enough to not do it, and mock your ignorant biased opinion.


And you're just deflecting away from Loomer,... who made ethnic slurs / slandering comments towards Omar.

 

I "caved in?" Did I originally disagree with you that the ancient Egyptians already did it? Or did I agree with you?

If it isn't mentioned in the Quran, then why the hell does ANY Muslim practice it?

Christian communities in Africa wouldn't be able to say that they are doing it as a strictly religious practice because FGM is not written in any Christian text.

 

And I showed how they say they can terminate anyone's account at any time for any reason. That, IMO, disqualifies them as a free speech platform. Especially since they rely on advertisers for profits.
A true free speech platform would not be for profit and not rely on advertising as its source of revenue.

He likely could be.

Being pro Sharia, unknown, isn't it? And anti Jewish. Proof of that?

Do you know it's not? Do you even know she is pro Sharia?

 

I agree, but I do expect Twitter to be a free speech platform, don't you?

Sure, but I asked you if YOU THINK that it looks like he is attacking a GROUP. Do you?

No proof that I can see, but is this derogatory, or being offensive on the basis of religion?

 

No, I don't.
I don't expect any social media website to be free speech. They have rules. Just like PF. Violate them and they ban you.

I can't make a judgement based on broken sentences. It is vague. But I said it is likely.

It can be take that way or it not. Is this the only issue Loomer has had with twitter? I doubt 1 single incident would be cause for a perma ban.

 

If they CLAIM to be a free speech platform, then why don't you expect them to be exactly that? The only reason that I expect it is that they claim to be exactly that, but without this claim I wouldn't expect it, because like you, I don't expect any social media website to be free speech.

What do you mean "broken sentences?"

I already said earlier, I'm not sure about her Twitter history, but even if she had a million prior warnings, this tweet should not have been the tweet that got her suspended because it didn't break any Twitter rules. Whereas if she had prior warnings for calling all Muslims "pigs" or something, and then she said it again or something similar and THEN got suspended or banned, that would make sense.

 

Already covered. A couple of times. They state they can terminate anyone's account and anytime for any reasons. Doesn't sound very free speech oriented to me.

Read your pic in the OP. Those aren't complete sentences. And maybe he's playing with people's minds.

Then you have no idea if this 1 tweet was the reason for the ban. Just the straw that broke the camels back.

 

Yes, so they should either change their rules and stop taking action against people for their tweets, or else simply stop claiming that they are a free speech platform. However, until that time, I expect them to live up to their claim. Don't you?

Do YOU think that Loomer's tweet was derogatory, or was being offensive on the basis of religion?

Yes, the straw that broke the camels back is certainly a good way to put it, but AGAIN, my point is that this tweet should not have been the tweet that got her suspended because it didn't break any Twitter rules. Or to put it another way, my point is that it shouldn't have even been the STRAW!

 

She's a pathological lying conspiracy theorist who is getting what she deserves.

 

And what is the piece of human waste Farrakhan?

 

Did you see the image in the OP? It said "banned."

 

@HonestJoe, I take it that you have reached the end of your ability?

 

I could have sworn I’d already replied to this but I guess not;

Yes, without context I’d find that equally confusing.

Not necessarily more significant. My argument remains only that they’re different.

Yet again, my opinion on his tweet without further context was that his intention wasn’t clear. Having read more about him, it seems more likely he was being insulting but I (and the Twitter moderators) didn’t have that context when first reading it.

No, everyone has their own individuals biases. That’s part of my point.

Sorry, I did misread that. Just goes to show how difficult it can be to correctly interpret the intention of on-line posts.

 

They should, perhaps, but my guess, if they aren't breaking laws, the won't
Again, one has to take free speech by a pvt company whose revenues are generated from ad selling with a grain of salt.

Yes, I believe it was derogatory. It was certainly meant to extract emotions.

Again, it may not have been that tweet alone.

Twitter said it broke their rules, although, I don't know that they specified which one.

Just beating dead horses here at this point.

 

Best of luck when/if you choose to stop circling your own bias and expand into research and reflection.

 

They do; they are.

They are not, and the freedoms extend into commerce and association, as earlier noted and conveniently ignored.

It is. No.

I have; your opinion is not supported.

 

They are in fact not, but free speech must be honored in the NPS.

 

Unpopular free speech MUST be silenced and its creators punished.

 

The trolling about NPS is past due.
There is no such thing.

 

Wha'?

Indeed there is.

 

Since when was Islam a race?

 

No amount of "research and reflection" will lead someone to discover a section of US Code which doesn't actually exist!

 

islam is not a race...its not even a religion...its a way of life..

 

Do YOU think that Loomer's tweet was derogatory on the basis of religion?
