Anti-Muslim hate site removed after CAIR's intervention
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced today that an anti-Muslim Internet hate site that contained a number of threats of violence targeting mosques, including the comment "I want [Muslim] blood on my hands," has been taken down by its hosting company.
CAIR said visitors to "Bare Naked Islam," hosted by WordPress.com, now see the message: "barenakedislam.wordpress.com is no longer available. This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service."
Last month, CAIR called on the FBI to investigate the threats of violence targeting mosques posted on the blog and urged WordPress.com to remove it for violating the hosting company's terms of service (TOS), which prohibit blogs that "contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities." Articles and comments posted on "Bare Naked Islam" urged attacks on and desecration of American and European mosques.
CAIR has been monitoring "Bare Naked Islam" and filed a number of TOS violation reports with Wordpress.com.
"We welcome the removal of such a vicious anti-Muslim hate site and thank Wordpress.com for upholding its terms of service prohibiting calls to violence by bloggers," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. "While we are strong supporters of First Amendment rights, the encouragement of violent acts goes beyond constitutional protections of free speech."
Awad said a number of recent reports have documented the growth and promotion of Islamophobia nationwide.

Bare Naked Islam has a New Home
Posted on January 10, 2012 by Bridget // CAIR Bears, Unveiling Islam
I am very happy to report that the site Bare Naked Islam has a new home. WordPress went through with their threat to shut them down…following threats from those lovely CAIR Bears. For those of you who haven’t been following this….CAIR pressured and threatened WordPress to shut down BNI because they didn’t like some of the comments readers were posting. WordPress took down BNI a few times before finally telling them that they would be permanently shut down after January 6th.
Bare Naked is one tough little site….with many fans. This site isn’t concerned with political correctness and many of the things (pictures, videos etc.) are very graphic in nature. They have a whole section called “Beheadings”. It’s not for the faint of heart but it is for those who want to know the real truth about Islam. BNI is dedicated to exposing Islam and it’s dangers. They have found a new home and will be officially moving after today. There has been a glitch(and they’re working to fix it) with the new web address but if you go to the original address, you should be redirected.
The best part of Bare Naked’s new home?
The webmaster is in Israel.
