(Reuters) - Google Inc rejected a request by the White House on Friday to reconsider its decision to keep online a controversial YouTube movie clip that has ignited anti-American protests in the Middle East.

The Internet company said it was censoring the video in India and Indonesia after blocking it on Wednesday in Egypt and Libya, where U.S. embassies have been stormed by protestors enraged over depiction of the Prophet Mohammad as a fraud and philanderer.

Good for Google!

What’s next White House? Going to try to get Michelle Bachmann’s speeches about Islam deleted? Or Rick Santorum? Where’s the line?

Anyone “Fact Checked” the film against the Koran and Hadith?

If the “plot” and “dialog” are factual, subtitles showing the relevant references & quotes would be interesting.

Of course, in today’s crazy world.

I find it wildly ironic that Liberal progressives in the US have trained the world in how to be offended....and now that they have shown them how power can be obtained by being offended the scum of the world claim to be offended by a film. Liberals are demanding the film not offend.

Okay

These same pontificating scum liberals are also the ones who claimed that all of hollywoods trash is not offensive, especially to the Christian that “YOU DONT HAVE TO WATCH IT” and on and on and on.

So

The very ones who caused the problem are actually the ones who now cause another to try and solve yet another problem...ALL of their own creation. THIS is what happens when you are devoid of morality and are spineless as well.

What a farce.

How can you effectively deal with any situation unless you start by working with the truth?

Google rejects White House request
///
LIBERAL Google, “refuses” to pull a video,
that the liberals claim is causing people to be killed?
-
when Google has quickly removed many other,
higher quality videos, for much less reasons?
(often simply from a few complaints).
-
obviously, if Obama really wanted the video pulled,
it would be...

“a request by the White House “

I thought the president was sworn to uphold the constitution? Obama did it TWICE!

Good for google and shame on tyrant Obama

Muslims need to learn, everybody’s religion gets made fun of, and when it happens you have full right to get angry and voice your opinion. But You DON’T have the right to throw violent temper tantraums and kill people. And if you do, then your religion will justifiable be viewed as a religion of violent moronic crybabies.

“...depiction of the Prophet Mohammad as a fraud and philanderer.”

It’s only slander and/or libel it it’s NOT TRUE.

That’s the problem the muzz have with all this: their beloved so-called “prophet” was all that and more...
