Since at least 7:00pm (EST) last night, my account at Little Green Footballs has been blocked. Although the post I reposted there, 5 times, is still on and shows that that I’ve had a mere 71 views since it went up in its current iteration. My stats package shows the last viewer, from LGF, came by my blog at 6:17am (EST) today. [It's up to 72 views, I got the last one at 4:17pm (EST).]

Nobody bothered warning me that I was about to be blocked, nor was ever given any explanation. Granted repeatedly reposting the story after it was deleted may not have been the recommended course of action as it was sure to make someone mad. So why did I do such a seemingly idiotic thing? I hoped to elicit a response, but it was never given me. And the post is still there! Whatever the reason for the blocking may have been it is certainly the right of the good folks at LGF to decide who may or may not post there.

In lieu of an explanation that was never given me, I can only offer conjecture. I have never disparaged Charles Johnson nor LGF, on the contrary. I discovered him shortly before the 2006 Israel/Hizbullah War when LGF became required daily reading for me, especially after he became one of the leading blogs exposing the faux photography emanating from the Lebanese side. Quite a few times I quoted LGF directly, or tipped my hat to them when they directed me to a story I could use. Obviously, then, whatever caused my account being blocked it wasn’t for any animosity – expressed or otherwise on my part.

It also wasn’t the commentors racial bigotry (we’ve always removed those and, thankfully, we haven’t gotten them in a while now!), nor their hatred for the current administration (while most of my readers dislike President Obama, there is nothing that approaches the vitriol that left wing blogs have expressed towards President Bush. We wouldn’t allow it!). No racial epithets, no personal insults of any kind are tolerated. Obviously that wasn’t the reason either!

In looking for some clues as to why I was blocked, I came across a left wing site that has been cyber-stalking Mr. Johnson and LGF for quite a few years now. It seems they especially assail him for publishing anti-extreme Islam stories. Considering that Mr. Johnson has over the last year or so been getting into feuds with many of the other well known anti-Islamist bloggers (Gates of Vienna, Atlas Shrugs, etc.) a pattern suddenly emerged…

Is it possible, then, that since five of the six posts I wrote prior to the one repeatedly removed by LGF were anti extreme Islamist posts… could that have incurred the wrath of the good Mr. Johnson? Let’s see… in We Want Sharia Now! I merely quoted what appeared in the UK’s Daily Express (it also appeared in the Telegraph UK, H/T: Sheikh Yermami) about a march planned by Anjem Chadoury’s notorious Islam4UK in London, on this coming October the 31st. The marchers will demand the immediate implementation of Sharia Law throughout the UK. Interestingly enough, a commentor to my post on Propeller said:

Just more hate mongering. Check the link. It’s a Jewish site promoting issues for Israel. They do this by spreading lies such as this article.

I knew that I obviously hit a raw nerve when justice4all saw fit to attack it… But he didn’t stop there, like all hotheads of his ilk he resorted to… blatantly misspeaking

“A spokesman for the Islamic Society of Britain said: “99.999 per cent of Muslims despise these people. This only serves to fuel racial tensions.”

The story could have had a direct link to the original story. But instead had a link to a Zionist site that only quoted the parts it needed to lake all Muslims look bad.

Wrong!!! The story links directly to the story in the UK’s Daily Express and I quote the WHOLE story, even including the part that justice4all claims I didn’t. I didn’t realize the Daily Express has suddenly become a Zionist site… hmnnn! Boy, us Jooz sure are sneaky. Even I got fooled! Considering that the notorious Anjem Chudary and Sharia4UK.com issued the call for that march, would justice4all claim they are part of an anti Islam Mossad conspiracy?!? I’ll let the reader draw his/her own conclusion as to justice4all’s veracity and IQ. But, I digress…
