This is absurd, of course. As you can see in the video, it contains no “violent or graphic content that appears to be posted in a shocking, sensational, or disrespectful manner.” Nor does it incite violence or encourage dangerous activities. But it does contain truths about the jihad threat that powerful people today don’t want you to know.
