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.
The warning by Indonesia came as the U.N.'s primary human rights watchdog ended a month-long session amid allegations by Western member-states and non-governmental organizations that Islamic nations are working to curtail free speech.
Geert Wilder's 16-minute film linking Islam's revered text with terrorism has sparked protests in a number of countries. It also drew criticism from the Arab League, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and the European Union.
In Indonesia, a former Dutch colony, Information Minister Mohammad Nuh told a press briefing in Jakarta Tuesday he had sent a letter to YouTube demanding the film, "Fitna," be removed. If it did not comply, he said, the government in cooperation with Internet service providers would block the site.
As of early Wednesday afternoon Indonesian time, attempts to view at least one earlier-available upload of the movie on YouTube brought up a message saying, "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation."
But the film has been uploaded on YouTube by multiple users and can still be found with a simple search in both its English and Dutch versions.
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………………

“I wonder if YouTube will roll over or grow a pair? I’m betting they’ll roll over.”
Google-owned...so, yup. They’ll cave.
You are right; based on natural disasters, either allah really hates his followers, or he is one incompetant diety.
hypocrisy holds no bounds
we have the left toterating racism from Obama, his pastor and his wife
we have muslims who denounce other religions a;ll the time yet they get insulted about us not abiding by their religion.
we have the media here what say it’s offensive to islam yet they perceive christians as nothing but a piss take by posting photo;s of the virgin mary in cow dung, the crucifix in urine, that to them is art
yep hypocrisy holds no bounds by the left or my muslim countries
It’s like a fired bullet. It’s out there, and you can’t take it back.
“Screw Indonesia”
B-b-but that’s where Nobama was educated as a yute.
“It’s like a fired bullet. It’s out there, and you can’t take it back.”
Oh I agree. Big deal if Indonesia blocks access to YouTube (not really sure how that’s even possible), but the video has to be on every YouTube clone out there now.
I think there might have been something on YouTube calling coffee “Satan’s brew”, but I’m not sure.
Thanks, Indonesia. I didn’t know this awesome film was ON Youtube. But you gave me a heads-up. Now, I’ll log on and watch it.
Oh, the unintended consequences.
YouTube will fold.
will europeans and americans comply, thereby destroying freedom of expression?
What is the problem? They should just not click the link if they would be offended.
“I wonder what they’re afraid of.”
The same thing all scum fear...
THE TRUTH.
The warning by Indonesia came as the U.N.’s primary human rights watchdog ended a month-long session amid allegations by Western member-states and non-governmental organizations that Islamic nations are working to curtail free speech.
And Indonesia provides proof of the point.
Shove it

NUTS!
DDoS on Indonesia is up
I think I LOVE that idea. It’s such a short film that you wouldn’t even need to burn expensive dual layer discs! I might just start doing this! Wonder how long it would take before someone would complain to the police about the “hate speech” I put on their car...
