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

“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.”

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……
