GOOGLE REFUSES REMOVAL OF ANTI-ISLAM CLIP FROM YOUTUBE

Google refuses removal of anti-Islam clip from YouTube

Egyptian protesters burn the US flag during a demonstration against the American anti-Islam film on September 12, 2012. 

As anti-American protests spread across the Muslim world over an anti-Islamic video promoted through YouTube website, its US-based owner Google has refused to remove the item from the website, only blocking access to it in Egypt and Libya.

According to US media reports on Thursday, Google claimed it decided to block the video in response to an attack against a US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi that killed four American diplomats, including its ambassador to the country, Christopher Stevens. 

The company further stated that its decision was unusual and made due to the exceptional circumstances, claiming that its policy is to remove content only if it represents hate speech, violating its terms of service, or in response to US government request or court orders.

The American company, however, claimed that it did not consider the highly offensive Islamophobic video, demonizing Muslims and their highly-revered prophet as a hate piece. 

The Google statement comes as millions of protesters across the Muslim world clearly considered the video as one of the most inflammatory material content to circulate on the internet. 

From Afghanistan to Libya, security forces and authorities have been struggling to control an outpouring of popular outrage over the video and urging US officials to take appropriate action against its producers. 

Google’s action, according to US observers, has raises fundamental questions about the control that internet companies have over online expression. 

Under YouTube’s terms of service, hate speech is speech against individuals, not against groups. The US-based company claims since the video mocks Islam but not Muslims, it has been allowed to stay on the site in most of the world. The company did not, however, explain how it would be possible for the video to scorn Islam but not its followers. 

“This video - which is widely available on the Web - is clearly within our guidelines and so will stay on YouTube,” said a Google statement. 

Outrage is growing across the Muslim world over the $5-million movie that was reportedly financed by more than 100 Zionist Jews.

AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI'S MESSAGE ON ANTI ISLAM MOVIE MADE BY THE US AND ZIONISTS

US, ZIONISM PRIME SUSPECTS OVER ANTI-ISLAM MOVIE

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei 

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has slammed the antagonistic policies of Zionism and the US as the root cause of the recent production of an American movie desecrating Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Ayatollah Khamenei issued a message on Thursday following the anti-Islam move. The full text of the message follows: 

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful 

Dear Iranian nation; the great Islamic ummah 

The filthy hand of the enemies of Islam once again revealed its deep-rooted malice by insulting the Grand Prophet [Mohammad] (PBUH) and with an insane and deplorable measure showed the fury of the evil Zionists at the daily-increasing radiance of Islam and Holy Qur’an in the present world. 

Regarding the disgrace of the agents of this crime and great sin it suffices to say that they have targeted the most sacred and luminous figure among the world sanctities with their disgusting nonsense. Behind this evil move lie the antagonistic policies of the Zionists and the US and other heads of the global arrogance, who in their vain delusions want to knock down the Islamic sanctities from their lofty position in the eyes of the young generations in the world of Islam and to extinguish their religious sentiments. 

Had they not backed the previous links in this evil chain, namely Salman Rushdie, the Danish cartoonist, and the US pastors who burned the Holy Qur’an and had they not made orders for [production of] tens of anti-Islam movies to companies affiliated to the Zionist capitalists, things would not have lead to this great and unforgivable sin today. 

The prime suspects in this crime are Zionism and the US government. If the US politicians are honest in their claim of not being involved [in production of this film], [they] must bring the perpetrators of this hideous crime and their financial backers, who have wrenched the hearts of Muslim nations, to face a punishment proportionate to this great crime.

Muslim brothers and sisters must know that this desperate move by the enemies in the wake of the Islamic Awakening is a sign of the grandeur and importance of this uprising and heralds its increasing growth.
