How dare anyone call them violent and intolerant! How will they respond? By sending threats and demanding video they don’t agree with be pulled.

The government of the world’s most populous Islamic state says YouTube has two days to take down a Dutch lawmaker’s provocative film on the Koran or it will block access to the popular video-sharing Web site…

In response to queries, a YouTube spokesperson said the site allows people “to express themselves and to communicate with a global audience.”

“The diversity of the world in which we live — spanning the vast dimensions of ethnicity, religion, nationality, language, political opinion, gender, and sexual orientation, to name a few — means that some of the beliefs and views of some individuals may offend others,” she said.

Videos that breach YouTube guidelines are removed, and some graphic material is restricted if not suitable for all audiences, the spokesperson added.

It remains at YouTube…for now. Allah links to plenty of examples where the Google-owned video sharing site has pulled videos under similar threats, while allowing actual terrorist propaganda to remain. Will YouTube actually stand up for the good guy’s freedom of speech this time? Or will it bow down to pressure (again), while terror propaganda continues to be hosted on its servers?
