Is Islam a hate crime?

| »

Let it be clear: we CAN and SHOULD criticize Islam, as with any other mind-rot that can lead to barbaric societal retardation, and sure as hell WILL.

This video – by the great Thunderf00t (who else?) – is in response to a video by another great YT atheist/skeptic icon, ZOMGitsChriss, that was taken down mere hours after originally being uploaded simply because of a single and incredibly trivial passing remark: “if the Big Bang and evolution are in the Koran, as many Muslims state, then why weren't these discoveries made by Muslims 1400 years ago!”. This was apparently enough to trigger the self-righteous anger of little pearl-clutching pissants, who took it upon themselves to notify YouTube that the vid was against their Terms of Use, which is complete bullshit. And, of course, being the careless corporation that they are, YT simply shitcanned the video without a thought. This is a far-too-common phenomenon these days, and one that YouTube shows no interest in fixing anytime soon.

Chances are reasonably good that this (Thunderf00t’s) video will also go down before long, so he took the step of uploading it to MediaFire. Watch it while you can, and should the worst (and expected) happen, download it for yourself and share it around.
