http://www.facebook.com/barackobamasdeadflyI tried when it was put on my page but they actually said it was not "hate speech". I sent them another letter and suggested that maybe they did not open the link. So now I found a page where they are using the picture as a background and would like to get it the Hell off!
These people are so ignorant!

(22,482 posts)that will lead you to a place where you can report it. That's what I did when it showed up just as a picture from a link from a "friend" on my page. And FB said it was not hate speech!!!!!
I beg to differ!

Now, show a little titty there and then see how fast they act.

(114,904 posts)(first of all Ofili's piece is in no way offensive and most certainly is art and I could even make the case that Serrano's Piss Christ is art)
In Western culture there is a long tradition of mocking religion that doesn't exist within Islam. Does that mean that one shouldn't depict Islam in a negative manner? Of course not. But particularly in times like these, deliberate provocation of the ugliest kind, is not only moronic but vile. And Facebook has no obligation to host it.

(6,228 posts)Are you honestly saying your right to create and display such art should be contingent on my willingness to kill you over it?

(15,657 posts)They would probably agree with you about the crucifix in urine, but that just makes it even worse because they are simply trying to offend.

Our community standard on hate speech is:
Facebook does not permit hate speech. While we encourage you to challenge ideas, institutions, events, and practices, it is a serious violation to attack a person based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition.
I did respond on their feedback link on their response and let them know that this was not satisfactory given the scale of violence occurring in the world over something similar.
