It’s peculiar that Islamic supremacists can get away with spewing
hatred and propaganda on YouTube against Israel, Christians, Jews, and
generally against the West, largely because of the ubiquitous fear of
their critics being branded racists or “Islamophobes.” Westerners also
have been bullied into a collective fear of Muslims because of global
jihad violence and threats of the same. Interesting, however, that an
Israel-supporting Muslim no longer has the cover of the “Islamophobia”
propagandists. Had Kasim Hafeez been blasting the Jewish state, falsely
accusing it of crimes against humanity and of practicing apartheid, and
pushing the Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) narrative, he
would not have been censored by YouTube.

Kudos to Kasim Hafeez. Let’s hope that more peace-loving Muslims
speak the truth about jihad propaganda and Islamic anti-Semitic hatred
and indoctrination.

The hallmark of democracy is freedom of speech, and this YouTube
stunt is yet another indication of how endangered this freedom is
becoming, as fearful Westerners self-impose Sharia. Whether YouTube’s
reasons may be some leftist-jihadist alliance, political correctness or
threats by jihadists, it is troubling when truth, explained in a
personal testimony, is stifled by YouTube.

The video, titled, “Born to Hate Jews,” shows an
interview with Kasim Hafeez, a British Muslim and pro-Israel activist,
explaining how he overcame the anti-Semitic indoctrination that
convinced him to try and join a terrorist group.

Fortunately, freedom fighters spoke out and YouTube responded, but with unacceptable restrictions:

A petition to restore the video promptly gathered over 105,000 signatures in less than a day.
Late Monday evening, YouTube re-uploaded the video in “Restricted
Mode,” partially restoring it. This mode marks the video as explicit
content, similar to pornography, and effectively makes the video
impossible to view on public internet connections at libraries and
schools.

“YouTube Censors Video Of Pro-Israel Muslim As ‘Hate Speech’”, by Andrew Follett, Daily Caller, December 6, 2016:

YouTube removed a Prager University video of a Muslim
explaining how visiting Israel “de-radicalized” him, claiming that the
video was hate speech.

The video, titled, “Born to Hate Jews,” shows an interview with Kasim
Hafeez, a British Muslim and pro-Israel activist, explaining how he
overcame the anti-Semitic indoctrination that convinced him to try and
join a terrorist group.

“In the video, Hafeez explains how he overcame the anti-Semitic
indoctrination that radicalized him from an early age,” according to an
email sent by Prager. “Within hours of the video’s release Monday
morning, YouTube flagged it for ‘hate speech’ and took it down. PragerU
is disputing YouTube’s removal of the video.”

A petition to restore the video promptly gathered over 105,000
signatures in less than a day. Late Monday evening, YouTube re-uploaded
the video in “Restricted Mode,” partially restoring it. This mode marks
the video as explicit content, similar to pornography, and effectively
makes the video impossible to view on public internet connections at
libraries and schools.

Prager is a conservative, nonprofit educational organization that
produces short, educational videos. This isn’t the first time YouTube
has targeted the group. YouTube put 21 of Prager University’s videos on
“restricted mode” in October and currently still lists 18 PragerU videos
under that mode.

Many parents set their children’s YouTube accounts to restricted mode
to prevent viewing of inappropriate or obscene content, but none of
Prager’s videos contain adult material……
