The media didn’t jump on and broadcast protests and suicide bombers objecting to the content of the Fitna film that recently showed up at Liveleak. That was a notable change, since we saw reactions from muslims across the world to the Mohammed Cartoons, and to that teacher, Ms. Gibbons, for naming a teddy bear “Mohammed” in her classroom, and countless other small ‘insults’ that allegedly “provoked” unreasonable and violent responses.

Still, the battle rages on to get the truth out; because it was taken down at Liveleak, due to death threats.

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.

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 all religions, who gave us their support. They realised Liveleak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.

Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers’ culture.

We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.

This is the DEFINITION of terrorism; where people are terrified into ’submission’, the meaning of Islam, quite literally.

Due to other examples of where they’ve carried out their death threats, such as Theo Van Gogh’s murder as a result of his short film entitled “Submission”, one should at the very least- pay attention to those threats and treat them seriously.

Liveleak is located out of Manchester, which is probably another reason why the film was censored there…Britain has a severe problem with censorship and free speech for people who point out Islamonazi tendencies or news reports, as we recently saw with the British blogger, Lionheart.

Reliably, internet dutiful jihadists have flagged it at Daily Motion as ‘inappropriate content’, so I’m certain that it will come down from there, as well.

From the terrorist sympathizers at AFP:

Muslim nations, the European Union and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday expressed outrage at an anti-Islam film posted on the Internet by a far-right Dutch MP. […]

Morocco’s Communications Minister Khalid Naciri said Wilders was “mentally retarded”.

Iran said the 17-minute film showed Westerners were waging a “vendetta” against Islam, and warned of repercussions. A Jordanian media coalition said they would take Wilders to court and launch a campaign to boycott Dutch products.

In Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, about 40 supporters of the hardline Islamist party Jamaat-i-Islami staged a protest, chanting “Death to the filmmaker”.

Islamic Republic News Agency:

The Organization of the Islamic Conference added its voice to the growing criticism of a film released by a Dutch lawmaker, which features disturbing images of terrorist acts superimposed over verses from holy Quran.

OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu condemned “in the strongest terms the release of the film ‘Fitna’ by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders.”

The organization added that the film defamed and denigrated “the Holy Quran, causing insult to the sentiments of more than 1.3 billion Muslims in the world.

“The film was a deliberate act of discrimination against Muslims” that aimed to “provoke unrest and intolerance,” the organization said.

Daily Register here talks about the danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who’s been in hiding because of death threats, objecting to the use of his bomb-turban Mohammed cartoon in Wilders’ film. On behalf of Westergaard, the Danish Union of Journalists says it will now sue Wilders for copyright infringement.

Dutch director Rob Muntz was also surprised to see a clip of an interview he conducted with Theo van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker who was stabbed and shot dead in Amsterdam. Muntz says he never gave permission, and will seek legal advice too.

Wilders also mistakenly used a photo of Dutch-Moroccan rapper Salah Edin instead of Mohammed Bouyeri, Theo van Gogh’s murderer. Edin, perhaps unsurprisingly, is also suing.

On a jihadi message board:

“Dear brothers, remember what happened to Ariel Sharon. Now let’s hope that he (Wilders) ends up the same way,” says a member of the forum.

“Pakistanis protest Dutch film,” from The Associated Press:

KARACHI, Pakistan — Dozens of Islamists in Pakistan have staged a protest over an anti-Quran film made by a Dutch lawmaker….

Pakistan’s largest Muslim party, Jamaat-e-Islami, organized Friday’s protest outside a mosque in Karachi.

Some protesters demanded Pakistan cut diplomatic relations with the Netherlands over the film.

Of course, censorship like this should be seriously resisted so that the people who saw of heads don’t get away with repeating the myth that ‘islam is a religion of peace’ unanswered. What is evident in that film is -it isn’t only sharia law that is the problem…it is the content of the holy texts, which bloodthirsty jihadists are merely following. That’s why imams can put forth “death to America!’ in fiery sermons, and it isn’t politics - it’s religion; which for them, is inseparable from politics. The atheist socialist revolutionaries’ message is the same; it’s just that their motivation is slightly different; but Bin Laden recognized that the goals are the same:

Under these circumstances, there will be no harm if the interests of Muslims converge with the interests of the socialists in the fight against the crusaders, despite our belief in the infidelity of socialists.

As the old arab saying goes, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

Update: Fitna was reinstated on Liveleak after people found ways around the censorship with Bit Torrent and other methods of getting it out there.
