The point is, awlakis sermons were not even “extreme”. They didn’t call for violence. They just talked about how great heaven was. YouTube rightly removed those videos because they were inspiring suicide attacks by teaching pretty mainstream Islamic beliefs like: martyrs go to heaven.

Would be for or against YouTube removing videos that encouraged suicide in depressed individuals?

> They just talked about how great heaven was.

Wait, so talking about how great heaven is now considered extremism? That's bad news for most Abrahamic religions. I suspect you are trying to pull the narrative in diametrically opposing directions - to show the videos were both very benign and super dangerous - and the narrative just tears up.

> because they were inspiring suicide attacks by teaching pretty mainstream Islamic beliefs like: martyrs go to heaven.

Wait, so if I say that good people go to heaven, and somebody believes it's good to kill infidels, I am now an extremist? I think your narrative is missing something.

How is that not extreme?

The paradox here is that calling what are mainstream views within Islam “extremist” is in itself an “extreme” and potentially “bigoted” view ... which could get you banned.

Thats not a paradox.

Suicide / death is as extreme as things get for living organisms.

It's not bigoted to state facts you don't like. Mean, maybe, if I time it right. In fact someone calling you a bigot in this isntance actually makes them a bigot.

Talk about a useless insult.
