Banned by YouTube: Islamic Teachings, Cruelty From The Quran

Youtube ^ | 2/9/2007 | Nick Gisburne

[faq]

This is a video that was banned by YouTube. It was posted on YouTube by an atheist who had previously posted lots of videos. But, when he posted a video called Islamic Teachings his video was removed and his account was deleted. The video is nothing more than quotes from the Quran set to music. I thought it was very well done. After YouTube deleted his account he made another video under a different username asking to be reinstated. If you watch that video you can tell he was hurt. Almost like he had lost a friend.

The video that got him banned, however, has since been reposted dozens and dozens of times.

Here is the video that got him banned:

Looks like YouTube has a small mutiny on their hands. I originally found this video posted at Hot Air.

I've got to see this at a later time & different computer.

Sounds like the motivation at Youtube is entirely the desire not to offend the primitive savages.

What's new?
Has Youtube allowed muslim posts of live beheadings?

[msnimje]

I say Nick give everybody who has a You Tube account permission to upload his video under all sorts of names like "Fluffy the Kitten" or whatever.

Let a thousand videos bloom!

Watched the video. Sooo, fire and boiling water, eh? What else ya got Muhammad?

[Darksheare]

There was a video or three by muzzie terror supporters, if I'd been thinking at the time, I should have saved the links to see if those threatening videos were still there.

Banned by YouTube: Islamic Teachings, Cruelty From The Quran

Socially I'm fairly conservative.

But this report reminds me of what I heard about publication of
Mein Kampf in the USA (soon after the original publication
in Europe).

I've heard that Mein Kampf was either censored and/or
simply not published for distribution in the USA due to its' obnoxious
content.

BUT, one publishing house (Alfred Knopf?) went ahead and made
it available in the USA anyway.

I know my poor recollection has butchered this tale...but
it's too bad YouTube hasn't tried to best Alfred Knopf or whoever
it was that put Mein Kampf out in the USA.

People in the USA need to know the threat from Islam.
Which means the threat from some of the people living in their
neighborhood.

But that would just distract people from the REAL threat which is global warming.

Sheesh. Don't you ever read a newspaper or watch CNN?

Fox is re-airing E.D. Hill's special on Radical Islam today - Saturday at 4pm EST - it is very well done.

"Sooo, fire and boiling water, eh? What else ya got Muhammad?"

Doom! Awful doom, painful doom, doom of fire, heavy doom, shameful doom, lasting doom, doom prepared for them by Allah, doom and degradation, doom for what ye used to earn, doom because ye disbelieve, doom cometh unto you as a raid by night, dreadful doom, doom of a besetting Day, doom that will abase him, doom of the Hereafter, harsh doom, doom of hell, and even doom of a dolorous doom.

So much drama. You don't want to watch it, but somehow you can't help yourself once you start. It almost makes me understand why people watch reality TV shows.

The sayings flash by too quickly to read in most cases.

True, I can watch/read babies like that but I can't imagine taking the time to make a video like the one I linked without thinking it was a real stupid thing to do.

Read this for another example of a couple people who need to step away from their computers;

Here's my all time favorite.

It's In The Koran !

I grabbed it off of YouTube last year before it was erased then stored it on my own server. It's a good 'un.

Thanks for the heads-up.
It deserved a repost.

Use the "pause" button.

I don’t really get the point except that You Tube is being hypocritical and that’s no real surprise.

I’m no fan of the radical teachings of Islam. But then I’m also no big fan of radical, hate filled interpretations of any religious text or belief or dogma.

So this guy is an Atheist? I’d be curious to see how many here would call for banning his You Tube account if he posted a similar video (and perhaps he did) with quotes from the Old Testament of the Book of Revelations. I’m no Biblical scholar but I recall that there’s a lot in there about bad stuff happening to non-believers.

While I might call them out on their hypocrisy, You Tube is a privately owned company and while we and I like to think it’s an open haven for free speech (and free sharing of copyrighted material), as a commercial concern, they have no obligation to be a forum for anyone to say anything they want. They can ban anyone for whatever reason they want – just like the Mods at FR.

Perhaps You Tube got complaints about the last video but not his others that might have been anti Christian? If they got similar complaints and didn’t suspend his account, well that’s wrong in theory - but not illegal.

As I understand free speech according to the Constitution, we have a right to express our political and religious beliefs but we are not guaranteed a commercial forum to do so.

I’m more concerned about hate crimes legislation that targets certain beliefs for criminal prosecution than I am about what You Tube does.

Fantastic!

How do I create a copy on my harddrive?
