Stalwart critic of Islam Robert Spencer (not to be confused with scumbag alt-right leader Richard Spencer) says that his post criticizing Lindsay Lohan’s conversation to Islam has been taken down because of the politically correct police.

Here’s what he says about the action they took:
The Hill published my piece on Lindsay Lohan’s possible conversion to Islam yesterday; you can read it in its entirety here, but you can’t read it at The Hill. It was a minor piece about a minor celebrity, but it caused the foes of freedom major agitation. All day today, Leftists and Islamic supremacists have been tweeting at The Hill, outraged that they published the “racist” “hatemonger” Robert Spencer.
What was “racist” or “hateful” about the actual article they did not and could not say, because there wasn’t really anything racist or hateful about it. But The Hill has succumbed to the neo-fascist impulse, emulating the Nazi Brownshirts who shouted down and physically menaced anti-Nazi professors in Germany in the early 1930s, and has pulled the article. Leftists and Islamic supremacists cannot engage their foes intellectually any more than the Nazis could, and so they do what the Nazis did: demonize and stigmatize them until people are too intimidated and ashamed to hold their positions. Any opinion that violates Sharia blasphemy laws must be silenced. And there is no end of cowards in the West who willingly become mute as fish when thus challenged.
Pretty crazy that he’s not even allowed to criticize Islam, while leftists in the media regularly trash Christianity with glee and absolute license.
It’s one thing to take our free speech, but they’re taking Lindsay Lohan too?!?!
