Mark Zuckerberg Overcome by Urge to Reassure Muslims that Facebook Is a Safe Space
PJ Media ^ | 12/10/2015 | BY STEPHEN KRUISER

Posted on 12/10/2015 8:24:59 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday vowed this (sic) his company will "create a peaceful and safe environment" for Muslim users amid the raging political debate in the United States over terrorism and Islam.

"I want to add my voice in support of Muslims in our community and around the world," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. "If you're a Muslim in this community, as the leader of Facebook I want you to know that you are always welcome here and that we will fight to protect your rights and create a peaceful and safe environment for you."

His comments came after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called for the United States to close its borders to all Muslims, a proposal that has drawn widespread criticism, including from Democrats and fellow Republicans.

Did I miss a recent national outbreak of violence against Muslims in America? I know about the terrorist attacks by the none-too-secret Jihadis in San Bernardino, but I've missed the massive backlash of "Islamophobia" that the media is always warning us about.

This celebrity's need to play along with the media by fear mongering about "right wingers" and the imminent counter-jihad we're about to inflict upon poor, innocent Muslims walking down the street is beyond tedious. It would be nice if just one prominent leftist were worried about the loved ones of the people killed last week.

Just one.

Probably too much to ask. The fairy tale must go on.

Facebook is a safe-space for ISIS then? Is that what he’s saying?

He only says that because it would be difficult for moozlums to “blow up” a facebook page or cut the head off a facebook page. Being very rich, I bet he has lots of armed personal protection from moozlum miscreants.

OK, when his kid is blown up or shot at a school or other soft target he’ll get serious about the threat posed to America.

Christians on FB don’t have the same favored religion status.

Meanwhile the muslims he is protecting are using Facebook to run their propaganda against Israel and call for the murder of infidels.

Zuckerberg is being an idiot and once again displaying is progressive liberal colors.

Muslim's use FB to communicate in order to kill Americans and then post blatantly their allegiance to the Islamic State...and this fool feels a need to come out and indicate that FB is a safe place for Muslims?

The disconnect is obvious and clear.

Do not get me wrong, FB is great technology and a great tool for much good...but instated of reassuring the segment that is using it for ill, he should be warning them that anything remotely appearing to be related to THAT type of behavior will be slammed and immediately reported to authorities.

Otherwise , IMHO, he comes across as a quisling.

Be a self hating Jew on your own time.

Dont put the rest of us in jeopardy. They deserve no safe space

This is the kind of guy who would have tried to understand the Germans.

Israelis must hate these guys.

Just means Zuckerberg is a gutless coward who is afraid of Islamics but couldn’t care less about Christians or Jews.

oh and by the way there are plenty of moronic self haters in my own crowd, the Catholic organizations helping to relocate the “refugees”.

suicidal Christians and Jews should be locked away until this war is over.

“”If you’re a Muslim in this community, as the leader of Facebook...we will fight to protect your rights and create a peaceful and safe environment for you.””

The leader of Facebook? What is it, the Nation of Facebook?
