Why do we spread this type of news? We are not doing Islam any favours
How much you want to bet that more people will see this video because of stupid messages like these?
It may be the other way round too... By seeing how others disrespect our religion, it actually strengthens our faith further and motivates us to learn & abide by our religion further so that we can counter such people/organizations!
they are successfully playing with emotions of muslims coz muslims have been divided and are unable to moved together against such actions.
This action will be successful if all muslims move together in a proper way not only in pakistan but around the globe.
will Google respect the action by the Govt. of Pakistan & remove the video and make effort to resolve the issue? i wonder what would happen if we make a documentary "THE Holocaust NEVER HAPPENED" and see how the west reactes to it....
Why don't you guys get the idea? The more you raise the issue the more coverage it will get. Is it your wish or desire to have such material propagated? If so, then keep at it until every man woman and child on the planet have seen this video
well... you want to explain that we muslims, should remain silent by closing our eyes and Ears on what is happening against our religion...
Should we not atleast be awared about this loby against us and all related direct hits. Will it not be assumed by our this silent response that what they wana explain is true and Islam is based on these things...

Youtube is working fine on WorldCall, its only that ONE video which does not work. I would request you to remove that link as yes, it will encourage more people to view the video.
There are hundreds of blasphemous videos on Youtube as it is, the state could have just blocked the videos, not the whole site.
The most realistic reason why they've blocked Youtube is because there were videos exposing the rigging of the elections.
Its just sick they use religion to hide behind, when they are the actual reason behind most ills in pakistani society..
this act by the denish news paper "hypocratic parasite" consider this act as a freedom of speech on the other hand many Historian were jailed for more then 1 - 5 years sentence by the court because they only said this comment "the Nazi didnt had Gas chamber" this comment was consider to be the denial of holocaust and these historian were jailed.
the best way to deal with it to shutdown Denish embassy+Consulate" bycott its good
Denmark have a small economy and surely will collape if all Muslims countries bycott its good.
The above mentioned video in the post has been removed "due to terms of use violation."
You can also confirm this via: www.sticklive.com or www.youhide.com
Thank you Google & YouTube team!
that's good.
