Bosch Fawstin, winner of the now famous "Draw Muhammed" contest that was attacked by terrorists over the weekend, has been dealing with a great deal of fallout for his depiction. Among death threats and accusations of hate crime, he also suffered a modern injustice of the social kind. On Thursday morning, Fawstin announced he was banned from Facebook.

I have been removed from Facebook.

Shortly after, he was interviewed by The Blaze's Dana Loesch, where he described Facebook as being "sharia compliant."

Facebook used mundane processes, such as identity verification, to apparently wipe his account off the site. However, as reported at Weasel Zippers moments ago, Fawstin has made another announcement: that Facebook has reinstated his account.

I'm back on Facebook

In the press over the last few days, cowardice and compliance have been the order of the day. One would expect that in the face of a literal attempted murder, the American media would at least have the sense to identify the shooters as the bad guys, and the cartoonists as protected provocateurs in the literal, classic sense that Americans have traditionally not only valued but revered. But with column inches dedicated to why Pamela Geller is a bad guy, and social sites dipping their toes into censorship of people for their very thoughts, the defense of freedom simply isn't there.

On defense of freedom of speech in America, from the media to our politicians, the silencing has been deafening.
