Threats Force Website to Pull Quran Video
worldnetdaily.com ^ | March 28, 2008 | staff

Posted on 03/28/2008 6:31:44 PM PDT by kellynla

A 17-minute documentary on the Quran, juxtaposing images of Islam's holy book with terror attacks and bombings by Muslim extremists, was taken down from a British video-sharing website, LiveLeak,com, after the organization reported "serious" threats to its staff members.

The documentary had been posted against the wishes of the government of the Netherlands by Geert Wilders, a Dutch MP and leader of the Freedom Party. His video is called "Fitna," an Arabic word meaning strife.

It appeared on the political party's website first, but soon disappeared because of "technical difficulties," reported the London Times. Then it appeared on LiveLeak.com, only to be replaced with an advisory.

"Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly affect the safety of some staff members, LiveLeak has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers," the organization said.

"This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realized LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one," the site said.

Things are bad here, too. No American site even dared to put it up; Liveleak at least tried. Sso maybe things are actually even worse here in the US.

We caved over here and our newspapers didn't print the Muhammed cartoons,when the controversy exploded and people were wondering what the the fuss was all about.

The slimedball press in this country will print Abu Grab photos to enrage the Muslims, who will then try to kill our soldiers in Iraq, but in the case of the cartoons it is the press who might get hit, so they avoided printing them. - tom

Moslums don't like being called terrorist but they always resort to terrorist tactics when they get upset about something. They prove their critics right every time. They can't claim they are peaceful and then turn around and murder someone for criticizing their religion.

Someone needs to post instructions here on how to create a simple website via a free provider, how to download the Fitna video, how to make it available on the website with a player and how to enter the site’s URL into the various free search engine spiders.

I used to be a very active Freeper a few years ago. At that time my favorite post was “ I just keep buying ammunition” - you still think I’m joking?
