A video produced by CounterJihad
critical of the Muslim Brotherhood, jihad and sharia law was removed from
YouTube Tuesday due to the company’s “hate speech” regulations. The video —
titled “Killing for a Cause: Sharia Law & Civilization Jihad” — was
uploaded to YouTube last Thursday.

“I am stunned that the policy that
YouTube developed for the express purpose of fighting Islamic State propaganda
is now being used to silence critics of radical jihad,” Jim Hanson, executive
vice president of the Center for Security Policy said Wednesday.
Hanson added, “Instead of counteracting
radical propaganda online, these policies are now being used to silence the
very speech that YouTube said it wanted — speech that challenges ISIS.”
YouTube’s hate speech policy states that “hate speech
refers to content that promotes violence or hatred against individuals or
groups based on certain attributes.” These attributes include religion.
The CounterJihad video is now able to be
viewed on their website.
“Terrorism seems to be everywhere, and it’s getting worse. The bad guys have
lots of names—ISIS, al Qaeda, Boko Haram—but they have one thing in common.
They are all killing for a cause: Islamic Law known as Sharia,” a voice-over in
the video states. “Sharia is a return to medieval Islam. Sharia demands a Holy
War called Jihad. The most widely available book of Islamic Law in English
says: ‘Jihad means to war against non-Muslims.’ Source: Video
