Global Patriot Radio's Vito Espisito brought it to the attention of this author that the site is no longer up.
What was the violation? Was there an actual violation or is this another political deplatforming? Or is criticizing islam now a violation of their term of service?
When checking to see if creepingsharia.com (leaving out the word "wordpress") was tried this is the page that came up:

Just received an email from Peter Townsend saying:
"Where have you been? Fair question. Part of the answer is that I have been working on finishing my latest book.
I’ve also been caught up in the ‘Great Social Media Purge of May 2019’. On a single day both Facebook and Twitter deleted my accounts with no warning and no right of appeal. In the process I lost more than 100,000 Twitter followers and both my personal and ‘Questioning Islam’ Facebook pages.
I have never even had a temporary ban on either network.I have not once called for violence against anyone and have never targeted any individual with ‘hatred’, invective or whatever else I’ve been accused of. Whatever that may be? Both platforms declined to give specific reasons. They are able to act as judge, jury and executioner all rolled into one it seems.
I suspect, although I obviously can’t prove it of course, that the ‘Purge’ was in preparation of the ‘Social Media Summit’ to battle online extremism (chaired by Jacinta Adern and Emmanuel Macron in Paris this week). This way the ‘giants’ could show that they are doing something. Even if that ‘something’ amounts to banning content that did not even come remotely close to advocating violence and was actually aimed at combatting extremism (of the kind they prefer to ignore).
I’ve thought long and hard about how to respond to this. One response would, of course, be to leave these platforms altogether. Which I guess is what they want. The creation of ‘Safe Spaces’ into which no politically incorrect idea is ever allowed to intrude. I realise that there are alternative networks (and will pitch my tent there as well) but the sad and brutal reality is that the ‘masses’ that we need to reach are on Facebook and Twitter. So I’ve taken the hard decision to start the long slog of rebuilding my presence. I’ve also opened a MeWe (a free-speech friendly social media network) account and will start to regularly post there.
Can I please ask you to help me recover my voice? Here’s how you can help:
1) Twitter – My new profile can be found here. Please follow me there and share my posts when they come up.
2) Facebook – My new Facebook profile can be found here. Please send me a friend request and share my posts whenever you can.
3) MeWe – My brand new MeWe account is here. Please send me a friend request over there as well if you are a member.
4) Email – Please stay on this list and forward my emails (especially this one!) to some of your contacts who may benefit from my work.
Thanks so much for reading and for giving a friend a hand!
Kind regards,
Peter"
"20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel." ~ Is 5:20-25
