Google Will Not Remove Anti Muslim Video From YouTube Despite White House Request for Review

Google ruled on the side of free speech on Friday, announcing it will not remove a controversial anti-Muslim video from YouTube despite being pressured by the Obama administration to review the clip and see if it violates the site’s terms of service.

“We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions,” a YouTube spokeswoman said in a statement. “This can be a challenge because what’s OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere. This video — which is widely available on the Web — is clearly within our guidelines and so will stay on YouTube.”

The statement continued: “However, we’ve restricted access to it in countries where it is illegal such as India and Indonesia, as well as in Libya and Egypt given the very sensitive situations in these two countries.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney confirmed to Politico in an email that the White House reached out to Google about the video on Tuesday.

“The White House asked YouTube to review the video to see if it was in compliance with their terms of use,” Carney wrote.

The clip in question contains scenes from a low-budget film called “Innocence of Muslims.” The film depicts the Muslim prophet Muhammad as a moronic adulterer who approves of sexually abusing children, among other things.

Crowds allegedly angry the YouTube clip have assaulted U.S. embassies across the Middle East. However, others have suggested that radical Islamists are merely using the controversial film as cover to carry out attacks and violent protests.

We have moved from the Arab Spring to the American Winter. The muslims want a global law against anything derogatory of their religion. And the current United States Government administration wants to rewrite the constitution starting with the removal of the first amendment. Remember that knowledge is power and to obtain absolute power you have to control the transfer of knowledge or as we call it FREE SPEECH. Our leadership is taking full advantage of the Arab protests to push their own agendas.

I am happy to see that You Tube has made a decision that is very constitutional. If they were forced by the federal government to take the video off, it will just embolden the federal government to “request” for other videos that they don’t agree with off also. Kudos to You Tube for flexing their constitutional rights.

The country must already be taken over or Obama would not be in the White House. Perhaps those who were in the Pentagon got scared when the plane hit there and never recovered. Something is definitely not right for them to be sitting around not seeing what the American public is seeing when they have a ringside seat.

People are not facing the fact that we are in a war with the man on the side of our enemies sitting in the White House.

Those Islamists along with Obama,are trying to curb free speech. This is a way to try and shame people into praising Islam instead of telling the truth about it. Obama does not care and is glad for the assist. It may have been that it is a planned movement just for this purpose.

In 1988, I was told by an Israeli fire chief that if I would like to see what America would be facing in a few years watch what is happening in his nation, Europe and around the world. He told me then it was all about the implementation of Shariah/Islamic law that would form a global Caliphate and body bombs would come to our shores to force us into it. He is correct and we must never let our Constitution be trampled on like the Muslims are doing in the Middle East to our flag.
Our useless politicians’ refuse to discuss the issue of Shariah/Islamic law/finance since it is Cultural Marxism (Political Correctness) issue with them and they place it above our National/Homeland Security and our Constitution. Thank Rep. Bachmann for sending a letter to Rep. Ellison, the Muslim Brotherhood congressional representative in congress giving him detailed information he requested on how the Obama administration has allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate our government. Go online to her website and read her 16-page letter, July 13, 2012 to him or search the Internet for it by typing in your search engine: “Rep. Bachmann July 13, 2012 letter to Rep. Ellison”. We must stop Obama/Clinton from forcing UN Resolution 16/18 on us.

I wish The Blaze would refrain from buying into this idiotic fiction that ODUMBER and his fawning media accolytes are putting out that this video is the “cause” of all the 9/11 attacks against our embassies. This was a planned CONCERTED attack against America, people. That so many attacks would occur ALL OVER THE MUSLIM WORLD at the same time seems a little TOO coincidental, don’t you think?

Blaming the video is a pathetic attempt on their part to distract attention from The Great Eared One’s utterly incompetent foreign policy–ESPECIALLY in the Middle East, not to mention his craven appeasement and constant “apologizing” to these cockroaches, and his general incompetence as POTUS.

They kill our ambassador, and he APOLOGIZES to them for “offending” them? What a POS our POTUS truly is.
