Egypt: Top court orders one-month ban of YouTube over video criticizing Muhammad

May 27, 2018 11:40 am By Robert Spencer

This ruling is purely symbolic, as YouTube will still be YouTube after the one-month ban has expired. But note that YouTube, as well as the other social media giants, are busy anyway, closing off their platforms to everything and everyone that is considered critical of Islam. Egypt is demanding this today, and tomorrow it will be France. And then the next day…

“Top Egypt court orders temporary YouTube ban over Prophet Mohammad video,” Reuters, May 27, 2018:

CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt’s top administrative court ruled on Saturday that regulators must block the video file-sharing site YouTube for one month over a video that denigrates the Prophet Mohammad, a lawyer who filed the case told Reuters.

A lower administrative court had ordered that the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology block YouTube, owned by Google, in 2013 over the video, but the case was appealed and its ruling stayed during the appeal process….

The film “Innocence of Muslims”, a low-budget 13-minute video, was billed as a film trailer and made in California with private funding. It provoked a wave of anti-American unrest in Egypt and other Muslim countries when it appeared in 2012.

Mohamed Hamid Salem, a lawyer who filed the case in 2013, said the ruling also orders that all links that broadcast the film be blocked.

The ruling is considered final and cannot be appealed.

    How about sending the following statement to the Egyptian top court authorities and You Tube?

    It might be considered denigrating to muhammed.What do they think?

    The problem is that….it comes from muhammed.. himself.

    “I have fabricated things AGAINST GOD and have imputed to him things he has NOT spoken”
    muhammed
    al tabari 6:111

    Thus,mo,the perfect man, ADMITS to being a complete fraud:note too that it is not simply that he made up falsehoods about God.It is that he made up falsehoods AGAINST GOD.muhammed doesn’t deny it!

    As for islam being a peaceful religion?Well,the self-appointed “prophet” would certainly beg to differ.

    “I have been made victorious through TERROR”
    Bukhari 4:52:220

    As far as he was concerned he was proud to be a dedicated terrorist.

    So you see….muhammed unwittingly…denigrates himself ..

      Everything attributed to Muhammad’s(IF HE EVER ACTUALLY EXISTED) koran was stolen from the Holy Bible revamped to fit what he wanted it yo be But not actually God’s word….He was so thief in many ways…mainly he stole the “lives” of all Muslims.

    This totalitarian clamp down on free expression has now infected the West. Islam has become the perfect opportunity for western governments to squeeze the life out of free speech and liberty. It’s their multicultural excuse to turn us all into mindless drones for allah and strip us of our self respect and identity. We are no longer humans to them, we are little cogs in their multicultural machine of terror. We westerners have already given up so much for muslims, our kids to rape, murdered innocents, loss of freedom, our neighborhoods… but that’s not enough blood for them. They want us to be quiet little sheep that never bleat or snort about losing everything for a retarded violent religion.

    F*ck islam, it’s rotten to the core.

    We the people have the power to bring corrupt governments down. They can’t kill and jail us all. They think they got the authority to stick a dirty sock in our mouth to shut us up. But they’re wrong, our right to speak freely about these issues is integral to our humanity, nobody has the right to take that away. We are humans too, we have a conscience and we deserve to be heard just as much as the muslims who kill and rape us. Our societies are under threat, we have every right to speak and act in our defense. If our governments aren’t for us then then we have a moral obligation to change it. This isn’t a call to violence, it’s a call to action. Who in the hell do these bureaucrats think they are anyway, god? They can f*ck off. When good people like Tommy Robinson go to prison for standing peacefully reporting the news then it’s time act. We expect to see this kind of abuse in North Korea or China, not a western democracy that’s supposed to honor free speech and liberty.

    Brits, do you want to be slaves to a 7th century cult with a god that glorifies violence and hate? do you want your nation to be a de facto theocracy where everyone must live in fear, fear of getting arrested, jailed, or fined for simply speaking your moral mind? I gotta believe there are millions of Brits asking themselves those very questions right now.

    Corporate America and the media are just as bad, and so are our leftist politicians who lick their lips in anticipation for what islam will bring. We gotta shame these evil people right out of existence.

      ibrahim, U love bunny, U! unlike the monster U follow, Jesus told us to love those who hate us. so i love U, yet i fear U, just as i fear a grizzly bear that is nearby. the grizzly can’t help itself; it’s a predator, and i and my family are but potential food sources to it. thus, i have a rifle with a cartridge that i know can kill it should it threaten me. i do not hate the grizzly; i just fear it. in a similar fashion, U and your profit (not a typo; he was a psychopathic monster out to steal as much as possible) are parasites that consider my family and i sources of income and sex. U can’t help yourself, because U were brought up in this hateful cult; islam is a mind disease that has poisoned U, and U worship evil, calling it good. were it not for Jesus, i would hunt U down and put a bullet between your eyes, because U are a deadly threat. U are indeed a victim of the cult U serve, but again, were it not for Jesus, i would consider me and mine safer were U safely dead.

      Jesus, however, tells us that He loves all of us equally. He is infinite in all respects, yet He loves infinitesimals like us. any imperfection is a sin, so we are all incurably deformed and unredeemable – on our own, that is. Jesus came to die so that we could all live. He is the fire escape, the way out, the way to be able to present ourselves, sinless and perfect, before God the Father, with our sin cleansed from us forever by His sacrifice. muhammed the profit didn’t understand christianity, and unfortunately for the human race, nobody reached him with the good news, so he died in his sin. in God’s eyes, the act that in human eyes is the most inconsequential imperfect thing i have done is *equal* to the most horrific thing that U have done – and vice versa. we have *all* sinned, and *all* deserve death for that sin. because Jesus’s death covers our sin, we can live eternally. God is love, not hateful like your monster god allah. he gave us free will, and the choice to choose Him or to reject Him. he wants *everybody* to choose Him and life, but He won’t force us to choose Him. i ask U to consider carefully if a life spent lying, robbing, raping, and killing really honors God. choose life, ibrahim. i fear U, yet i love U, because God loves U.

        Amusing post but where in the heck did you get this?:

        “…in God’s eyes, the act that in human eyes is the most inconsequential imperfect thing i have done is *equal* to the most horrific thing that U have done – and vice versa.”

        Who thinks they know “God’s eyes”?

      The video of Mohammed is not mocking Mohammed. All of the behaviours of Mohammed portrayed in the video come from the descriptions of Mohammed in the source texts of Islam such as the Hadith. Muslims don’t seem to be able to read their own source texts Ibrahim itace has obviously not read the source texts of Islam either!

      • Michael Copeland says

        May 28, 2018 at 5:19 am

        Indeed. There is no mockery and no insult.
        Every incident in the film exactly portrays what is in the Islamic sources.
        Usama Dakdok, Arabic-speaking Coptic Christian, has made videos showing this.
        See “Revealing The Truth Behind The Mohammed Movie.mp4” on youtube.

      Ibrahim itace muhammed has said before that Muslims have the right to murder anyone who criticizes the bloody “Prophet” of Islam.

      And *of course* he hates Christianity. A faith that preaches the Golden Rule and a loving God? This is everything that the savage creed of Islam opposes.

    Governments in the West are using Islam!! The same governments that are busy dropping bombs on Islamic countries, selling arms to both side so that there is perpetual war in the Middle East, all of a sudden care about removing “offending” material from social media? Give me a break. Those governments are afraid of social media because they provide counterfactual and deconstruct Western governments attempts at brainwash and propaganda

    Memo to Reuters:
    “The film … provoked a wave of anti-American unrest”.
    No.
    Imams in mosques provoked a wave of anti-American unrest: ordinary muslims have no option.

    “It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision.”

    Koran 33:36,
    part of Islamic law.
