We the undersigned universally condemn Facebook for their cowardly and treturous censorship of the "Everbody Draw Mohammed Day".

Stealing as they did the rights of both free speech and counter speech on this non violent site.

Commiting as they have a far greater crime against free speech than the suposed crime against Islam they endevered to suppress.

Destroying as they have records of the Facebook community's stand against bigotry on both sides.

Destroying as they have a vibrent centre of debate.

Setting as they have a damaging precident

Silencing as they have the vast majority of moderate muslims who opposed this day peacefully but were against any violent or threatening means used to stop it.

And betraying as they have their own principles and the free expression on which the facebook community is based.

Call on Facebook to apologize for their actions.

And to reaffirm their commitments to the facebook community and the free, peaceful and safe transfer of ideas on which it is based.

I started this because I felt like our ability to communicate was being quietly erased. Seeing so many of you echo these same concerns leaves me speechless because this movement really belongs to you now.

Ridiculous. If you dont like what you see just scroll past it. We need free speech even for the stuff that makes people mad.

Pathetic. They folded faster than a cheap suit. Free speech is dead on this platform.
