LiveLeak Takes Anti-Koran Film “Fitna” (by Geert Wilders) down because of Threat to its Staff

Update from TXPoet:

Gee it didn’t upset the dutch muslims:

Muslim body calls for rational response to Dutch anti-Islam film

Anti-Islam film fails to provoke Dutch Muslims

Iranian-born Afshin Ellian, a professor in the philosophy of law affiliated with the universities of Leiden and Amsterdam, said Geert Wilders “must have been advised by the best mullahs.”

“Wilders stayed perfectly within the realm of what sharia or Muslim law permits. No images of Mohammed or Allah, and no material that may be blasphemous to Muslims.”

It seems as if the biggest complainers are:

  1. Iran
  2. the Dutch Government
  3. the Politically Correct Liberals

Yesterday, we posted a link by Phyllis Chesler to the new movie, Fitna, available at that time on LiveLeak (update: Phyllis has follow-up here). Watch the removal statement here.

Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill-informed reports from some corners of the British media that could directly affect the safety of some staff members Liveleak has been left with no other choice than 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 religions, who gave us their support. They realised Livelink.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just 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.

It is currently available on YouTube, only to viewers 18 and older. Also see Muslims Demand ban on Anti Koran Film posted by Orlando, yesterday.

    Muslims are on the Warpath over Movie

    Geert Wilders of the Netherlands produced a movie that basically showed the religion of Islam for the violent cult that it is. His movie, a 15 minute or so short, showed the written word of the Koran and then had clips of Muslims whose words and deeds…

    Death threats against LiveLeak for showing a film about muslims in a true light? No! Say it ain’t so! Are you sure?! Gasp… I can’t believe that the ‘religion of peace’ would have any followers with violent tendencies or who would threaten anyone. I’m shocked …shocked, I tell ya. Some people might get the idea that the film is true if they thought that death threats were used to suppress the film. Hmmm. Wow, this is a stumper.

    I’m so confused because I’m told that islam means ‘peace’. I guess we can trust the government to do what’s best, though. I heard the Dutch government apologized to muslims and thanked them for not burning down their country and not murdering anyone today. Maybe if every non-muslim apologized to all muslims and begged them not to murder us just for breathing air, then in their peaceful wonderful islamicness, they’d just beat us up and make us slaves instead? I mean, for goodness sakes, we have to all be as politically correct as possible and close our eyes to the truth if muslims want us to do that.

    They are our new overlords and we can’t displease them. Shhhh, here comes a muslim… I’m off to lick his boots and thank him for not murdering me. They’re so kind not to kill us.

This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
