Good luck with that. Will they re-block it once they realize that's rather impossible? Or are they feeling some heat over having taken such sweeping measures, and looking to make that go away while still appearing to do something about Fitna? At any rate, it's Peanut Butter Jelly Time in Indonesia again for the moment.
An update on this story. "Indonesia restores access to YouTube Web site," from Reuters:
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's Internet service providers have restored access to YouTube and other Web sites that carried a Dutch lawmaker's film that accuses the Koran of inciting violence, an industry official said on Friday.
Isnawan, vice chairman of the Indonesian Internet Providers Association, said service providers would only block access to pages carrying the film by Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch anti-immigration Freedom Party, which alternates images of the September 11, 2001 attacks and other Islamist bombings with quotations from the Koran.
The move followed protests by web users who said they were disadvantaged by the banning of several sites including YouTube, Multiply and My Space.
"We don't need to block the sites but only links that broadcast the film. If the film is moved to another site, we will keep on chasing and block it," Isnawan said.
The Web sites were fully blocked on Monday and Tuesday.
Titled "Fitna," a Koranic term sometimes translated as "strife," the film also shows an image of the Prophet Mohammad primed to explode and says the rising number of Muslims in Europe threatens democratic values.

Sounds like they're a bunch of block-heads.

Im quite sure that every copy of
"The Film Indonesian Islamofascists Didnt Want You To See"
Will swiftly get blocked. For Allah oft censors.
Posted by: OLDEngland at April 11, 2008 10:34 PM
We all have to start making anti-islam films so they have to block everything. I have a good copy of FITNA so I can upload it if anyone has ideas.. until I make my own this is definitely going to do the trick!
FITNA is to islam what garlic is to vampires.
Ya gotta love it!
I'll check by later to see if anyone has use for my copy of FITNA. It's over 80mb. And in .avi for easy viewing.
You can also get it on btjunkies.org.
I'd like to know where I can upload this to so that the islamos have to keep shutting things off.
I want all islam shut OFF from us...

Well they must have got complaints from Jihadis who wanted to view the massive amount of pro Jihad and propaganda videos or update thier YouTube Pro Jihad channels. YouTube is a big help for that purpose.

If these muslims are so confident of their religious death cult, why do they fear their members seeing a movie?
When you're confident in something, you don't fear criticism.
They seem to have an ungodly fear of criticism.
Are they that feeble in their faith? Is Allah that weak a "god" that a mere film or cartoon is so threatening?

Fitna bad. Muhammad good.
My inner 5-year-old wants to convert.

"....we will keep on chasing and block it"
Like a dog chasing it's tail, Muslims love pointless pursuits like haulting the Truth; but as the old saying goes, the Truth always comes out.

Now here's an idea, picked up from spammers. Change the name from Fitna to something that resembles Fitna, like Fltna, or Fitno, Fitn*, Phitna, Fit Na, Fiitna, etc. Poor Indonesiawould be chasing bits forever, but I can't say as I blame them for trying. Allah needs all the help he* can get!
* Is Allah a "he?"

Is it possible that the Muslim imams of Indonesian, are having second thoughts about what their flock might be seeing/learning about the ROP? Any thinking members, after seeing this might have second thoughts. (Yes I know that thinking may be impossible, but I have a problem believing that over 1 billion people could be so brain dead).
May-be their members will reason that this can not be blasphemy since all these are quotes from this book that I have been repeating so many years. Else, it’s Damn, these infidels are understanding about the ROP to soon.
Sometimes it helps when one is able to read what these words actually mean in one’s native language when one is speaking / chanting these quotes in another dead language, this could be an eye opener. This could also cause some of these members to (can one say it, become apostates??), One can only hope that their eyes and brains will be opened

I have access to YouTube again and you can see the Fitna videos as well. So much for blocking. I think the reason why the ban was lifted was because there really hasn't been a big fuss over it here (as compared to Cartoon rage or Pope rage). The Muslims I've shown Fitna to basically said it was a stupid movie about a small group of Muslims who are giving Islam a bad name. People where I am in East Java don't seem to care about the movie. I'm sure if I checked in West Java or Abu Bakr Ba'asyir's pesantren I might get a different response. Maybe a death threat. hahaha!!

Do they not realize that human nature - being what it is - the more you make it forbidden the more of a hot commodity it is going to be for people to watch?

"....a stupid movie about a small group of Muslims who are giving Islam a bad name"- hardly.
Omar Bakri had no problem with it. He said it could be an advertisement for the mujaheddin...

Speaking of YouTube and Jihad videos...
There is an organized movement afoot to flag jihadi videos on YouTube, and we are having some success. To learn more, go visit the YouTube SMACKDOWN at:

welcome to the world of Islamic mind control and severe restrictions on anything outside of Islam. we have already witnessed persecutions of filmakers, journalists, internet websites, libraries and the strict Islamic control of the type of education young muslims receive...the type of education that more closely resembles political indoctrination...

Posted by: Tapper
The answers are yes, and yes. Expressing yourself is usually preceded by thought. It all begins with freedom of thought. It's not just threatening. It's downright dangerous.
It begins with freedom of thought, it continues with freedom of speech, and it ends up with freedom of belief. ... I want to express myself, I want to talk and say, for example, that there are loopholes in Islam, or that Christianity is the truth. Then they will talk about freedom of belief, and say that anyone is entitled to believe in whatever he wants... Leave Islam, and join Buddhism. No problem. That's what freedom of belief is all about. They want freedom of everything. What they want is very dangerous.

Great idea! This is a technique also routinely used by purveyors of porno to defeat blocking attempts.

Jihadi do remind me a little of Reavers.

And they got complaints that they couldn't get to see a bunch of American Teenagers beating up a girl.
Or Obama girl.

It sounds like these guys are doing on-the-job IT training as they go along. Maybe eventually they'll discover that what they're trying to do is fundamentally impossible.
Posted by: Eastview at April 12, 2008 10:30 PM
Somebody, please, block Islam. Is there is a link to Islam that we can chase and block?
How I wish it were so.
