DhimmiTube

YouTube is yanking anti-jihad videos for "inappropriate content," while jihad rants seem to be just fine with them.

Michelle Malkin has the story.

Charles Johnson has more.

I saw this at MM earlier.

Other than money, what prevents like-minded people from setting up a 'YouTube' clone?

Such censorship would no longer be an obstacle.

I this is the way YouTube operates then the hell with them. I, for one, will never use that crappy site in the future. Who runs this site, one of Bin Loser's numerous offspring? Maybe it should be renamed F***YouTube.

The company I work for must be ahead of the curve and makes me proud. They have been filtering YouTube for months now. I asked IT why and they said because of the porno.

Well, the "pallywood" video is still up. That's a really good documentary (18 minutes) about Palestians staging fake events for propaganda purposes. Watch it before it gets yanked.

Remember, both sides can play this game. Muslims are flagging all anti-jihadist videos as "innapropriate" knowing that when enough people flag it, it will be pulled.

Well, let's all flag every pro-Muslim videos as innapropriate. Here's a few to flag:

Islam: The Treasure Uncovered

Amir Sulaiman, the Muslim poet

Muhammad (PBUH) - Mercy to Mankind

Muslimr.com Promo

A is for Allah by Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)

Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) By Sami Yusuf (English)

and many many more....

Also when you flag them, it will ask fpor a reason. If it is jihadist you might be able to choose "Graphic Violence" but usually you can safely choose "Racially or Ethnically Offensive Content"

Is YouTube a company? Does it need an audience? Is it subject to commercial pressures? If it carries advertising, could one make known that one will go out of its way not to frequent those who advertise at YouTube until this kind of political censorship, dangerous to everyone, stops? How can pressure be brought to bear?

And is the technology proprietary or can others invent, and present, around whatever YouTube offers?

Hugh, do a google search on 'youtube ipo'

They are a startup. They have a huge audience, working on 'monetizing' it and of course going public.

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-05,GGLJ:en&q=youtube+ipo

There are competitors and someone may buy them like Microsoft or Google, etc. They just have the simplest, best and most popular service, like ebay has the auction market sealed up (at least in the US and many other countries.)

Who cares about YouTube? The quality is bad, the video's can only be about 10 minutes in length and the audience is stupid.

Google Video rulez!

Huge thanks to Michelle Malkin for the mention, and Robert and Charles as well, for not letting this story die. I am posting again under user-name SpiritofCMartel, and still use CRUSADER18 in the titles and tags of my videos where appropriate so they can still be found. (Those the YT jihadists don't yank) Michelle has a great group on YouTube, and I suggest you join it. I have made provisions to switch profiles when they yank this one, and if you contact me or subscribe to my channel I wont lose you. YT is the largest of the VLog battlefields, and I believe we must not yield it. Contact me at SpiritofCMartel for information on how you can help in the fight. Remember: The Good-Guys don't step back, they step up. I'd leave you a link to a great video i have posted, but it seems YouTube has crashed.(small grin)(Well, a Big grin ;-)
Regards

I have seen Google video do the same.

http://www.officialmastersofchaos.com/WWIII__Islamic_Jihad.php


The above website had a great 8+min montage of Islamic terror. I used to link from it from my name.

The link is still up on the web page but the video doesnt run.

There is still a good one about Beslan though. Just incase you have forgotten how derranged these Muslim animals are.

Here is a video worthy of being banned:

"This Is Your Sister [In Islam]"
posted on YouTube by gsmokha.

It’s got a four-star rating and 15,537 views.

It is a "letter" written to the "Mujahideen" by "Fatima". She and thirteen other unmarried women have been imprisoned at Abu Ghraib. They have been raped numerous time by "those sons of apes and pigs". One has killed herself.

At one point, the voice-over calls out:

"Fear Allah!
"Kill us along with them!
"Destroy us along with them!
"Don’t leave us here
"Don’t leave us here to let them get pleasure from raping us!
"It will be an act to ennoble the throne of almighty Allah.
"Fear Allah regarding us!
"Leave their tanks and aircraft outside.
"Come at us here in the prison of Abu Ghraib.
"Come at us here in the prison of Abu Ghraib."

This is how it winds up. I don't know what it means:

"Brothers, I tell you again…
"Fear Allah!
"Kill us with them so that we might be at peace.
"O Mu’tasima!
"Al-jumu’a
"17-12-2004 (05-11-1425)"


It ends with the sound of a jet engine.

Maybe a secondary reason is business. Perhaps the anti-jihad videos are proving too popular and using up so much bandwidth that hosting them becomes them economically unviable. Just speculation (and some wishful thinking).
