GoFundMe blocks Islam scholar Robert Spencer after ban by Mastercard, Patreon | LifeSite


This is really creepy and scary stuff.  
I know Robert Spencer's work very well (please note that he is not Richard Spencer, the known Nazi).  I've followed his blog, Jihadwatch, since I first got interested in the whole "Islam thing".  His was one of the first sites I came across that seemed to me to speak plainly and honestly about the ideology of this religion.  I have read most of his books and seen countless videos he's done.  
There is no way this man is a "purveyor of hate", as is claimed by Patreon and others who have banned him.
This is scary because it silences the voices warning about the truly troublesome aspects of Islam.  
This would not be happening if he were criticising Christianity.
And most galling is that Patreon took the action after "consulting" the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is is a hard-left outfit, that ought to be totally discredited, after many outings of its purely ideological stances on issues of the day. Most recently they had to pay Maajid Nawaz $US3.5 million in damages after calling him an "anti-Muslim extremist", a claim that is absurd on its face and shows just how biased their views are.
