Scroll down. The first video is the video which was posted. It might not be there by the time I post this. It is just quotes from the Koran.

Watch the second video. The guy who posted the video had his all of his accounts and videos on youtube deleted, for a bogus reason.

Is youtube censoring criticism of Islam?

interesting...

Didn't you hear? The new trend going around is to censor any criticism of Islam. Why not censor peoples views towards Islam, I mean, is free speech really worth a fatwa or a beheading? We're at a crossroad here, either we give in to Muslim extremists and allow them to call for the deaths of all others, deny the Holocaust, call for the inhalation of Israel, Britain, and the United States, and preach about how us Kaffers are not worthy of being in their presence all the while being too terrified to criticize even the smallest thing about Islam or we stop giving a shit and allow our people to be just as offensive and critical as they are being. Unfortunately, I don't see Europe standing up for itself. So many people pride themselves on their excessive political correctness that I'm sure they would choose giving up free speech just to prevent a few from being offended.

I thought this was amusing.

Sounds like some chronic shizzy


By the way. Europe not standing up for itself? There's a lot of negative reaction toward Muslim immagrants in Europe. I've lived there and seen it for myself.

Youtube is not the government, the choices they make are personal an you have to abide by them. Maybe they think they will be bombed/attacked and have made this choice to protect themselves. It is a more viable choice than simple banning the colour black for example.

I'm not talking about racist idiots beating up some poor Islamic kids, I mean newspapers not falling prey to intimidation and governments being a little more careful with Imams preaching jihad within their borders.

I'm not talking about racist idiots beating up kids either. I'm talking about fiercely nationalistic political parties gaining wide support on anti-immagration platforms.

Youtube has a history of blocking anti jihad video's and banning the people who post things that are critical of certain violent sects of Islam.
I believe it's based in part on the " flag as inappropriate" tab.
If enought people flag it, then it gets taken down.
The europeans are waking to the "danger", about time.

If you tube bans anti islamic stuff, why doesn't you tube ban the hundreds of snuff videos that iraqi insurgents put up off killing american troops?

[[R-MOD]Wasteland]

Well, they don't take down the snuff videos of Iraqis being killed. I think it's a sign of our times. It's OK to show violent death. But God forbid we see a nipple or someone's take on another religion.
