An anti-Islam blog that failed to remove inflammatory comments from a few of its readers will be permanently taken down by its hosting company, WordPress, on January 6 as the result of a number of complaints filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
The site, “Bare Naked Islam: It isn’t Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you” (www.barenakedislam.com) will be taken down in two weeks by WordPress according to the website’s owner, Bonnie (*last name withheld). Bonnie, in an exclusive interview, told Big Government that WordPress suddenly blocked her site “around Thanksgiving” and sent her a message to contact them because the company had some questions about comments that had been left on her site.

WordPress? IIRC that’s a decades old evangelical publisher. Unless I’m thinking of a different Word.
It’s a different WordPress.
Wordpress is a blog hosting site.
Anyway it's http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/
Must be closed already:
ALERT
www.barenakedislam.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.
That was a great site. Very funny. Hard hitting, but if I remember, they backed up what they were saying.
So much for free speech.
Perhaps we should boycott Word Press? There are lots of blog hosting sites.
Hmmm. I hope my anti Islamic web site isn’t going to get shut down. Hard Questions about Islam

You say that it must be closed, but it opened fine for me.
So what are the best Islamic blogs and websites out there?
The only one I follow is answeringmuslims.com It is a run by evangelicals and I think they do a great job of exposing Islam.
A WORDPRESS / BARENAKED ISLAM UPDATE: The PR folks for WordPress sent me a copy of the email that Matt Mullenweg sent the BareNaked Islam bloggers:(End of Glenn Reynolds post.)This sounds right. Is publishing commenters’ information wrong? Yes, unless the commenters have been threatening or abusive, in which case I think it’s fine. Were they? I don’t know — because when I went to the site it had been taken down. Anyway, WordPress seems to have done the right thing.After reviewing this case I’ve turned your site back on. Even though this is the third Term of Service issue with your blog, you should have been contacted before your site was suspended by our Terms of Service team.
That said, publishing IP and email addresses of commenters with the invitation to harass them is a violation of our terms of service and your site harbors numerous examples that violate our ToS rule “does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities.”
Given that this has been an ongoing issue I think you should find alternative hosting. I realize that it is the holidays and happy to give you until Jan 6 to do so. You can use the “offsite redirect” upgrade to ensure all of your links continue to work and your visitors get redirected. Finally although there was a press release from CAIR claiming to have been behind this I haven’t heard of them until today and as far as we can tell none of the ToS reports that caused the blog to be reviewed were from anyone involved with that organization. WordPress.com does not suspend blogs at the request of individuals or organizations, only for violations of our Terms of Service.
Not quite the same story. Who is right?
barenakedislam.wordpress.com will remain up until Jan. 6th. Then, or shortly there after, BNI will be at new location under the name barenakedislam.com
where we will be CAIR-free.
Thanks for your support
Welcome to Free Republic.
Thanks for your support
I had never visited your site until tonight, so it's a little early for that. Maybe later.
What policy will your new site have regarding publishing the IP and email addresses of commenters?
Perhaps we should boycott Word Press? There are lots of blog hosting sites.
Perhaps we should boycott C.A.I.R and other pro Isalm sites~
Know thy emeny!
I like Jihadwatch.
Yes, that’s a good one.
