Pakistan blocks YouTube to protest Dutch MP (Geert Wilders) anti-Islam film - Fitna

Pakistan blocks YouTube to protest Dutch MP (Geert Wilders) anti-Islam film - Fitna

(Online): Reports are emerging from various parts of Pakistan about slow or blocked access to YouTube once again due to the recent upload of Dutch MP Greet Wilder's anti-Islam film/video - Fitna.

We still haven't heard of any official news in this regard. Let us know if you are or you are not able to access YouTube anywhere in Pakistan.

Apparently blogspot blogs are also not opening. These jerks! 

Blogs are accessible. I'm connected with WorldCall cable in Lahore and can read all blogs... Iola, who's ur ISP and in which city?

TAIMUR   .

A QUESTIONS:-

Why can't they make rules against making movies which are against any religion of the world in the United Nations(UN) ?

 

I am sure it must be true. I can't verify it though, am on the mobile web right now. There suckers would just not leave it, will they? They are constantly instigating muslims against themselves and then they'd have the nerve to call us extremists. They want us to burn them alive and i say go for it.

Hey Razorfish....cool down please.....it is upsetting....but we need to take a rather intellectual and a political stance than an aggressive/hostile one......

This is to confirm that YouTube is banned here in Lahore, Pakistan, I don't know about other Pakistan Cities but its not accessible here in Lahore.

On the other hand, I also want to 2nd 'Fallen Angel', as this is not the right way. There must be some political/intellectual stance.

'Taimur77' has also raised a better solution.

So please calm down and try to come up with some other solutions/suggestions.

@ Stranger

Thank you for agreeing with me.

I would like to add here that some Muslim Clerics have called fro Peace in this situation. They are of the view that such matierial is developed with a motive to start an agitation among the Muslims, to show the world that Islam is a religion of aggression or terror...."Fitna".

We must therefore, refrain from any aggressive act in order to prove the claims of non-believers wrong rather than to justify them by acting stupid.

Its not bocked i can access YouTube here in Lahore, i am using Worldcall cable internet ...

I couldn't access it because of wateen. However all sites can be accessed through Vtunnel. So even if someone has been a jerk by blocking the sites, the world is still open to you folks.

I ama university student in Australia. I tried to assess the links to this movie.....which do not open and we have a messages saying.... " We are sorry. The site is currently unavailable as we are trying to determine the content of this site as reported objectionable by some viewers".

As for You tube the message says

This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community.
To view this video or group, please verify you are 18 or older by logging in or signing up.

I use the university net so I dont know if its like that else where but I was pleased that at least the university has taken notice of the material being telecast.

Geert Wilder's position is rational. That there is a violent movement in Islam which uses the Koran to justify itself. He calls on Muslims to challenge this movement or be complicit in their silence.

When people won't debate, they call their opponents insane. Muslims merely need to explain why they don't vigorously challenge the violent Jihadist movement. I think it is because they silently support it.

Mud slinging is not part of any rational debate that I am aware of.

The verses offered as 'proof' in the short "Idiots guide to Islam" were all quoted out of context.

Does Islam preach violence? Yes but only as a response to violence not preemptive violence

Islam is not the cause of the violence, it is a recruitment tool just as 'Democracy' and 'Way of life' are exploited by demagogues elsewhere to futher their aims

It is high time Muslims stopped trying to defend their faith. The violence around the world has nothing to do with Islam and all to do with exploitation or the sense thereof

Well written, Khalifah... :)

Just to add a few lines here. Muslims must not deny the status of Jihad in Islam or try to give explanations for it. Nonetheless, its unfortunate that the verses referring to Jihad are mostly quoted out of context and the concept of  Jihad is understood in a very limited meaning. I hope the Muslim scholars would come forward and explain the concept further and in full context. To my limited understanding, the entire life of a Muslim is a Jihad from when he prays and fasts to when he avoids evil practices and conquers his own Nafs (Id).

Even a student who leaves home in pursuit of knowledge is in Jihad.Praise be to Allah swt Who has ordained Al-Jihad (the holy fighting in Allah's Cause):1. With the heart (intentions or feelings),2. With the hand (weapons, etc.),3. With the tongue (speeches, writings, etc., in the Cause of Allah)With reference to common concept of ‘Jihad’ – the physical fighting for the cause of Allah, it is to protect your own honour and life, to protect the weak, to rescue the oppressed and to establish a rule of justice and peace through Islam. Allah says: “And fight in the way of Allah those who fight you...” (V.2:I9O).
