70 Comments »The New York Times has published an article regarding a highly controversial group on Facebook. The group denounces Islam and as of this posting has 760 members. The groups states the following:
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.
There is now a number of other groups that have been created in protest of Facebook’s decision to allow this group to remain. One of the groups has over 58,000 members. This is by no means the first politically or religiously controversial group on Facebook but it is now getting significant coverage. The group is set up in support of atheism.
According to the New York Times article, Facebook temporarily deleted the group creator’s account but has since reinstated it. The members that are petitioning the group are threatening to leave Facebook permanently. While that may not have a significant impact on Facebook’s growth, it is a large statement. What do you think? Should Facebook delete the group?
Certainly not. Free speech should be granted wherever it is practical to grant it. It is certainly practical to grant it here.
Further, giving in like this would set a poor precedent. “If you dislike what someone says, just complain loud enough and we’ll get rid of it.” That’s not something I want to see on Facebook any more than absolutely necessary.

it should not be deleted. only the proportions of the users can delete it because this is what user-centric approach is. the true democracy.

Should they delete? No - unless there was some form of incitement to violence that made the group dangerous in some way.
They’ve set a hard-to-follow precedent for themselves. I guess they hadn’t expected it to be so high-profile, and now they lose either way.

This quite clearly falls under freedom of speech - there is no hate towards individuals, just a statement that an idea is incorrect. The people complaining against this groups existense must not be very sure of their own faith if they think this group is a threat to them.

Of course they should not.
If they delete this one, they have their work cut out to delete the hundreds of anti-jewish, anti-christian, anti-whatever groups.

MOST CERTAINLY NOT! While I may not agree with the group’s premise or statements, I found nothing in it that was threatening or that incited violence.
This is what “Free Speech” is about!
This is what “User-centric-commentary” is about;like-minded people coming together to confer on their opinions.
If any group wishes to withdraw in protest, whether they are 58,000-strong or 580,000-strong, they are free to do so. That is what capitalism is all about.
Facebook will lose FAR MORE users if they cave-in to this pressure.
Facebook might want to add a banner or text to FLAGGED groups that reiterates that this is not the opinion of FB or its users and that FB promotes freedom of speech yada yada… Obviously they should not remove it.

If i got offended each time a religious group espoused their sanctity of belief over my own (you know, scientific evidence based research)I’d probably try and have them taken off line too…theres a thought for a secular democracy

I agree with Paul, I think that although the group is offensive to some people it is not Facebook’s responsibilty to take action for other people’s ignorance. I think that yes we do have freedom of speech and yes some people take it too far but just because they abuse it does not necessarily mean we have the power to take it away. Although I do agree that if the group starts leaning towards taking action against Muslims or actually if any group contemplates taking some form of violence then it should be monitored and taken off Facebook.

I agree that free speech is an issue, when the speech is not hateful or incites violence
HOWEVER, This post is not completely accurate. The name of the group is “F**K Islam.” I don’t know about you guys, but when someone says “F**k you,” it is not to have a “meaningful discussion.” The fact that this post leaves that little detail says a lot about the bias in the article. Without knowing the name of the group, one imagines the fuss is irrational. In actuality, with a name like “F**K Islam,” the tone of the group is already set to be aggressive and potentially hateful.
I’m not sure why there is a problem. If the protest group has 58,000 members threatening to leave Facebook if the group isn’t disbanded (as stated in the NYT article), sure it is in Facebook’s best interest to quell the group. Is Facebook bound by following the First Amendment?

well what dose every one think of this group Fuck Christianity? i am not making that group just to make it clear you know why because it is already made by the same guy. so what do you guys think should this group be deleted??
The group should stay. Unfortunately, it draws to itfar too many fanatical Muslim youths, who rant and verbally attack anyone that attempts to initiate any rational discourse. For that reason alone, I believe it should stay, to show the world that Religion has no free pass, and must be critically analysed. Also, despite claims of innocence and holiness, we clearly see the presence of the fanatical muslim movement, which must be recognized, not wished away with political correctness.

to jack : as a christian, I find it stupid to have not protest against it, the thing is I’m not Facebook user, so that doesn’t really matter much to me.
I’m actually encouraged by those moslem, they defend their religion from the attack, not like us who just sit idly, even if they want to defend their freedom of speech, they can at least change the ‘f*ck’ word to something else less offensive, may be Facebook should’ve banned such word.

No group should be censored, edited, or removed. No matter what the group advocates censoring it is much, much worse.
Freedom of speech, he only dissed religion in general, and in particular the Muslim faith most likely because the writer knows it’s a sensitive subject, which he feels he has the right, to freely express.

Of course it must be removed. This is not a field of free speech. Does freedom means that I have the right to hurt you? Am I free to insult you by any means?
Freedom is lined by the rights of others.
Think logically.. This is not Freedom.. This is a crime.

we don’t want to delete the groups which attack the Islam because they are a threat ,we love & respect our religion , & we can’t allow any one to speak about it in that wrong way.THe disrespect they show to our religion is a disrespect to ourselves.U don’t know what’s Islam is, it can’t be described in a few words..but if u are a muslim and u are following the prophet Mohamed’s advices ..u will have the most peaceful life ever..

I agree with everything that Ahmed Shereif said,
of course the group must be shut down because this isn’t free speech , this is insult and cruelty under the name of freedom, and it doesn’t mean i can insult or hurt anybody, just because I’m free to do whatever i want.
look, we love our religion , and we feel offended when someone like this loser ‘variable’ say something cruel and abusive about it.
And by the way in a lot of protests groups , we say that they must delete any group that offends any religion including the F*** Christianity group not just the F*** Islam , because we are all brothers whether you are a Muslim , a Christian or a Jew, we all do believe in God.

I argue that offensive groups should be banned. While I certainly value freedom of speech under the laws of the United States government, I must also point out that every private community has the right to set limits on behavior,including speech. A business can set rules on attendance, attire, and even speech content. Similarly, Facebook is a private community, and as such, has the right to require an agreement among members to speak with respect as part of the private community. Member’s profile pictures, for example, are required to be unoffensive, and yet, mainstream pornography is legal in the United States. If an online community can ban offensive images, which may be legal, then certainly Facebook can monitor speech which is also legal.
At the same time, I must admit that banning this group while allowing the other hate groups to stay would be a blatant double standard. Certainly the rules of any community should be consistent, not catering to the needs of a selct few.

Freedom of speech was already thrown out by facebook in their terms and conditions, so please stop making that arguement. Facebook clearly states that hate and offensive groups are not allowed. This group is clearly hateful and offensive, so why is this even an issue? Facebook needs to learn how to implement conditions that they made in the first place.

I am muslim, and i dont believe that these groups (or any group that intolerates any religion) should stay on facebook. Free speech is indeed a right for everyone, but your rights are limited. blasphemy is not free speech, its attacking peoples’ belief and rights to worship and believe whatever they want to. you have no right of attacking them. Atheism however is a right! you are free to not believe in God or a religion! but that does not give you any right to attack it or deny it! and therefore blasphemy is incorrect an shouldnt be tolerated.
I am glad us muslims are taking a strong stance on this issue. No one has the right to judge our religion based on aloof facts and ignorant assumptions.

lol. seems like all the protest group members have decided to leave a message on here. Fact is the group will be here to stay whether these guys like it or not. The message needs to be clear: We must preserve the right to freedom of speech. Religion in particular seems to despise it.

I definitely think it should be deleted. I understand the rights of freedom of speech and freedom of press and what not, but there is a limit and degree to what can be said. The groups leader said he was only trying to get a point across that being atheist makes sense. First, there is a much better way of getting that point across without attacking one religion and without making the group title, “Islam is a cancer. F*ck it. F*ck Islam.” Also he said that people have a right to their opinions but gets offended when people say that his group is offensive, which clearly is an opinion…hypocritical? Also, he has to understand that if you are trying to get a general point across such as atheism makes sense you CAN not attack and use one religion as a target. Keep those points in mind when making a group because, especially in this era, comments like that are very offensive.
To Stan (from way back in September):
Please don’t say things like that because that is hypocritical to the maximum. If a person from the Jewish or Muslim society created a facebook group exactly the same except making the false accusations on the Christian faith, the petitions would be twice as large and much more fanatical. You see in this day of age people see all muslims as terrorists because of 9/11, which i dont blame you, however we must pry ourselves away from the stereotype and prejudice and rationalize. Do you really think if someone made offensive comments about the Christian or Jewish faith it would be whisked away? I think not.

Well, at least if facebook doesn’t comply, one of your youths can always strap a bomb to his/her chest and blow himself/herself up in a public place! Isn’t that how muslims get thier point across? Who cares about freedom of speech anymore….how about freedom to not give a shit who says anything about your religion, and actually mean it. I fail to understand what any muslim thinks they are accomplishing, by dragging down a group that says what they feel? Actually I take that back, it’s vengeful, angry, and foolish, all those lovely muslim qualities weve come to expect. Islam deserves to be insulted, as does every other religion. A teacher in Sudan is about to recieve 40 lashes for allowing her elementary school children to name a class teddy bear “Muhammed”. A rape victim is about to get 200 lashes and prison time….for being a rape victim…. Homosexuals in Iran get the death penalty….I also wonder how long the muslim religion thinks the rest of the world will tolerate them with restraint. At least Christians are QUITE as fanatical.

Amazing that this group was pulled off for stating an opinion, even if what they said was false. But, it’s dealing with people who are known for carving heads off if there is a perceived questioning of their faith. This will certainly not be the end of it. I predict that the day will come where it will be a “hate crime” for questioning Islamic ways on ANY site. The whole world WILL submit to Islam in our life-time. Islam is built on fear and intimidation FORCING the person to submit to Allah or pay a hefty price. It’s a religion that is the ultimate in peer pressure. A peer pressure that kills.

Would you ‘delelete’ personal opinions?
No?
Exactly.
I’ve just had my account disabled myself. Not sure why, but I presume it is from the complaints of speail pleading, hypocritical, whiny religious people about my notes,comments, or my groups that protest various religions and other ideas. Thing is none of my groups/notes/comments/etc advocate violence, persecution, etc, only vehement criticisms of various beliefs and hypocritical religious/political/etc groups. I even go so far on most of my groups and notes to add disclaimers discouraging and condemning racism, prejudice of individuals, persecution, violence,etc, and even sometimes critisize people of my views whom advocate the above things or come againnst religions on the basis of race,etc.
Yet, here I stand, banned. Why? Well, facebook does’nt care to explain themselves apparently. I had no warnings recently that would indicate that such a banning from near or anything. Just out of the blue…”account disabled by an admin”.
Yes, friends, if you’re a rational person critical of irrational beliefs you willf ace persecution and injustice not just in life but even on the internet via facebook, youtube, myspace,etc. It’s absurd!
Freedom of speech and expression, as well as reason itself, are all under attack, and are beeing threatned by the forces of unreason, hypocrisy, etc. Soon we may have no way to disseminate or share our ideas or to counter unreason and hypocrisy.
I’ve seen facebook,youtube,myspace,etc, do this to other rationalists critical of religion, most of whom added disclaimers against violence,racism,overt persecution,etc, and indeed oppose those three things and make it clear that they do. Sad, disgusting, unjust.
It’s a disgrace.

P.S. yes, facebook may be a privately owned comapcy, as is youtube,etc. But that does not give them the right to go against the constitutions of the free world and censor opinions, silence and ban people with certain opinions unless those opinions actually break laws. These organizations and sites are founded in and operated from freenations where free speech and secularism are established, apparently facebook, youtube, etc don’t care for the freedoms of these lands. Thing is these orgs/sit4es are international and promote themselves as unbiased sites/orgs in line with the laws of U.S., Canada, Europe, and other democracies, so they contradict howe they represent themselves.
It’s not right.
to add to my above comments^^^^
It’s interesting. No one ever gets treated this way by these sites for beeing critical of atheism, agnotcisism, deism, rationalisn and humanism. Never!
That’s because we don’t go whining like little crybabies when our beliefs or opinions or sensibilities are offended like these religious groups do. Why should these people conatantly get special privelages? I don’t get it?

This is purely a double standard of facebook! They haven’t deleted F*** Islam grp yet kicked out 6100 members from Ultimate Muslim Warriors group! They removed the UMW description and have banned from posting anything on the wall and board!!! WHERE THE HELL IS THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHTS?
The UMW group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15331001146
Why not let everyone read the discussion board and the wall? Where does it say that we spread violence and hatred? UMW condemns killing of innocents (both Muslims and non-Muslims) and it stands against the terrorist activities conducted by the great crusaders!
First of all, facebook has disabled all comments on the video of Martin Luther’s famous “I have a dream” speech on grounds that the comments received were full of hate. Everyone in the world understood this and no one has come up to complain that their freedom of speech has been denied. Not surprisingly, the same whole world has descended on facebook for denying them their right to insult Muslims and Islam! I find this outrageous and i think its high time we gave the muslims some breathing space.
Secondly, Most of the comments i have read argue that nothing is being done for groups that spread hate against catholics, jews, etc. For me i throw the challenge to you who are complaining. This group had 760 members and a counter group was set up to petition for the former’s removal which gathered 85,000 signatures of members. Doesnt that tell you that the group was hurting more people than it beenfited? Is freedom of speech supposed to be enjoyed at the cost of other people’s freedoms from insult?
Thirdly, i dont know of a single group of even 50 people in the whole world who have ever came out and complained that cartoons of jesus had been published or that a hate group has been established against them on any site. Its therefore not the fault of Muslims that they value their faith and are sensitive to abuses against it, but the fault of other faiths who are indifferent on matters of their own faiths.
I rest my case.
Yes I agree, how dare anyone attack Islam! The sayin is that not all Muslims are terrorists, most terrorists are muslims. It is okay to post videos on the Web of people getting their head chopped off but not to criticize. If you publish books contrary to Islam your head will have a price on it. If you draw cartoons you will be marked for death and your country’s embassies torched.
It has become a farce to listen to complaints from those that post vitriol and hatred towards America and Israel, calling for the anihilation of both countries.
Facebook: Shame on you!

Of course they should NOT delete this account! Nothing was said that was offensive. In fact, I agree with the statement made by the group.
And how did 58,000 people come to visit this site to determine that it was offensive?
Before long we won’t be able to say a single work to one another. Everything is offensive! What can we say.
I would like to ask “some girl” one question
Everyone has right to opinion?
Would “you” like it if I personally o r someone
made a community with your name/picture on it that
reads “f**k-(your name)” ?
Or would you/or your family members think the same way
as you do …and be all chill about it?
Would YOU / or your friends and FAMILY delete
personal opinions?? NO? EXACTLY!
We are all brothers and sisters, please respect
each other’s religion FIRST, opinions later ATLEAST.
Atheism is “no religion” - Islam and Christianity are.
@ yann:
You said”We must preserve the right to freedom of speech. Religion in particular seems to despise it”
right to freedom of speech
but not the right to insult a religion.
Facebook itself should following their own
set of rules and regulations it has stated itself.
Pity facebook, its such a pity to such groups.
Just for the record - there is a ratio
of atleast 1 community of “remove f**k islam” community
VS - 10 “f**k islam” communities.
I hope other brothers and sisters would join me
and quit facebook as a protest.
