Here is a post that I replied to. This is on a no friends account where I can freely click like and share what I like for my own references. So regarding that post...I have liked whatever atheist pages there are too..
I thought, well wow, don't empires usually kill everyone anyway? And I couldn't care less what 100 year old genocide there is when they are still happening today. So I replied these words:

"The Iraqi and Afghan genocide was by USA/Australia/etc. Oh that is unpatriotic *zips lips*, Meh.

Literally all I said, and I thought why not, someone above already understands what empires do - and on that account, I have already stated I am an Arab ex-Muslim Aussie, and I have commented and liked and shared previous anti war posts. I got a notification that the admin replied. When I clicked it, I found my comment deleted and I was blocked . Just WOW. Whoever blocked me for my comment, what a JERK. I can't think of a reason besides not kissing his/her arse. So this admin, I guess, doesn't know that Arab Muslim and Turks were not friends anyway, (if anyone cares for accuracy) even though that is beside the point now.

I just read their info page. What I said wasn't agaist their rules. All I did was bring light to a more recent and relevant genocide. Their site is "atheince.com", so I'm tempted to ask whoever blocked me about their reason, but now I'm just annoyed and I think I'll unlike their page. I unliked a certain other page that kept linking hoax stories like the hamas wedding story, and also blocked me what I provided the hoax slayer link. I felt that that was unacceptable but it was obvious that the page was set to attract people who liked sensationalism.

That link is not to an atheist facebook page, as far as I can tell it is just some redneck douchebag. If even these right-wing nutbags are becoming atheists then that is a sign that atheism really is taking over in the West.

I sympathize with how you feel about the Iraq war, but to call it a "genocide" is a little over the top. The dictionary defines genocide as "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." You do not really believe that the goal of the US and Australian governments was to wipe out the Iraqi people from the face of the earth do you?

What is atheince.com? It seems to be a dead link.

agreed. genocide is a strong word to use and politically loaded.

The right to think the unthinkable, discuss the unmentionable, and challenge the unchallengeable.

The link is the picture they've shared.

^is their share. Umm it seems they let two others post against the picture. Honestly wth was I banned for :/ Because I called the war genocide?
Well, if they're going to post skewed historical posts (this one seems to be a post made by a Christian, slapped with some Quranic verse, attracting all Christian fundies), then meh.

Wow my linking skills are rubbish. I tested it this time: http://athience.com/

No I don't believe they are trying to wipe out all of Iraq, although I can throw that theory around as no one even knows why, still (20 years, 10 of boycott, 10 of war =2 million dead, a legacy of depleted uranium that is said to last in the soil for millions of years, causing cancer left right and centre). *shrug*.
I don't know, I just posted what I felt. I used a bit of sarcasm to state what the other couple of posters stated, but my comment came first, then they deleted it and blocked me.

yeah it was definitely harsh of them to remove the comment. i feel like those atheists who preach against religion but do the same thing as religious people (censorship, intolerance) are really the mirror opposite of the very ideologies they're against.

Update....

The admin actually messaged me about my complaint and let me comment again. It seems he thought I am a Muslim troll or something. I explained that I am not and he believed me and let me back on.
