Update on the Blocking of Sites that are Critical of Islam

Posted on July 7, 2007

As I noted two days ago, several sites that often feature uncensored reports of Muslim doings have been widely blocked lately — though CAIR and various Jihadi sites have remained fully accessible.

Publicity about the blocking campaign seems to have had some effect. Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch has now been told by many of his readers that they can once again access his site from their work computers.

All readers here should monitor the situation, however. Unless it is nipped in the bud, Leftist censorship will just proliferate. So if you ARE blocked from accessing any conservative sites, protest loud and long about it to whoever is in charge of your work computers.

If Jihad Watch is blocked again, it may also be an idea to let Robert Spencer know. You can email him here: director-AT-jihadwatch.org. Substitute the @ sign for “-AT-”, of course.

May I also suggest that if you know the name of the filtering company your organization uses, contact them yourself.

This is an important issue — what with “Shoeless” George Bush’s tendency to make nice to CAIR and with Blair-successor Gordon Brown going off the cliff with his refusal to permit his Cabinet to use the adjective “Muslim” in conjunction with the word “terrorism.”

We need to identify our enemies without consulting the God of Political Correctness. It is what it is.
