Go one Facebook and search the word "Islam" and you will find thousands of pages devoted to Islam, jihad, sharia and everything related to Islam. Scan a few of the pages and you quickly realize that the hatred, anti-semitism and Judeophobia against the "people of the book" runs rampant on Facebook. Why they pulled this particular page, and not the thousands of others which call for the death of Jews and the destruction of Israel is a mystery. They say the page violated their terms of service, but that excuse is used as a catch-all phrase so no one has to actually explain the reasons behind their actions.
It is good this page was dismantled, but if Facebook really wanted to shut down the anti-semitism and Jew-hatred from Islam, they could do so easily. One needs to ask Facebook why they refuse to shut down all the pages advocating the murder of Jews.
Well Facebook? Care to comment?

Facebook drops 'intifada' page for promoting violence
The page which appeared on the social networking site was called Third Palestinian Intifada after two previous uprisings against Israeli occupation.
It was removed for featuring calls for violence, a company spokesman said.
Israel had raised concerns about the page. Facebook has helped spread calls for protests in Arab states.
I wonder what Zuckerberg will say when Islam and sharia become the new face of Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain and all the others they "helped."
The Third Palestinian Intifada page had called for an uprising after Muslim prayers on Friday 15 May.
"Judgment Day will be brought upon us only once the Muslims have killed all of the Jews," a quote from the page read.
Wait, I thought Islam was a religion of peace. Send the memo!
According to AFP news agency, three new copycat pages have appeared, with more than 7,000 Palestinians signing up to them.
'Red lines'
Facebook said the page had begun as a call for peaceful protest, even though it used the term "intifada" with its connotation of violent revolt.
"However, after the publicity of the page, more comments deteriorated to direct calls for violence," said Andrew Noyes, Facebook's public policy communications manager.
The creators of the page eventually made calls for violence as well, he added.
"We monitor pages that are reported to us, and when they degrade to direct calls for violence or expressions of hate - as occurred in this case - we have and will continue to take them down," Mr Noyes said.
By that criteria virtually every Islamic site should be shut down tonight. Any site using the Qur'an as their foundation is a hate site, what is Mr. Noyes waiting for?
