Pakistan Blocks YouTube
Multiple readers have written to tell us of news that Pakistan has ordered its ISPs to block access to YouTube "for containing blasphemous web content/movies." This follows increasing unrest in Pakistan over a Danish newspaper's reprinting of cartoons which depict Islam in a less-than-favorable light. The cartoons also sparked controversy when they were first published a few years ago.
I'm waiting for the moral relativists to chime in. It's always amusing. This one will be easier to rationalize for them than things like female genital mutilation or the stoning to death of women because they were raped. Still, it might be fun to watch the verbal tapdance that will ensue.
It's cause we own the middle east.

They just dont know it
There's no need to get all religious about it. ;-)

Where are they hiding?
The editors should be following their own rules.
You must be new here.
Doesn't religious persecution tend to kill the moderates and breed more radicals?
It is true, I used to be a moderate secularist, but now I'm a rabid and radical anti-religion zealot.
Is a dead one.
Or one that didn't read the entire Koran and cherry picks what to believe in. Their very foundation is flawed and violent, and believes that only they have a right to exist. What will it take for people to understand this?
( now i'm not saying other religions are perfect, just that we really need to state the facts here and not pretend they are some sort of benign cult )
