its no big loss right for both pakistan and youtube. most of pakistanis are illiterate and youtube is not gonna suffer any losses if pakistanis dont see it. maybe you should block google n other search engines too. lots of blasphemous stuff there. google ‘muhammad cartoon’ under image search and u’ll see thousands of results. or instead just ban the internet for good in pakistan. its better for islam and the world.

There is a plethora of websites (I’m not going to paste links here) out there which use explicit language against Quran and The Holy Prophet (SAW). Have articles that preach the total annihilation of Muslims etc. They were never blocked by our government and YouTube was, go figure!

A word regarding the anti-Islamic web content; I believe the people who put up such content are looking for a reaction from Muslims and when we give them the pleasure of reacting, they mock us for our “sensitivity”, “medieval beliefs” and “volatile natures” (case in point: the violent protests in Pakistan against the cartoons published by the Danish newspaper). These people are just bullies who are abusing the right of free speech and expression because they know no one can touch them.

What can and should we do about it? Maybe we should stop giving them the satisfaction of our reactions and they’ll stop?

Can anyone find out when was that banned video added on YouTube?
Because if it was added like around a month ago then the ban is clearly due to poll rigging videos otherwise PTA would have banned it earlier.

Pakistan & YouTube…

I’ve updated blockpage.com with a screen capture from an ISP in Pakistan from the Don’t Block the Blog Campaign. As noted, since most ISPs route through the Pakistan Internet Exchange which only blocks IP addresses, many users in Pakistan …
