Kuwait Issues Order To Block YouTube

Posted by timothy on from the singed-and-composed dept.

Bashar Abdullah writes "Kuwait Ministry of Communications have issued orders to all ISPs to block YouTube, after some offensive videos to Quran and prophet were posted there. YouTube is 15% of Kuwaiti traffic, ranked #3 on Alexa for Kuwait. Funny thing is, those videos they refer to have been removed and I can't reach them anymore."

    Shouldn't that be "prophet", rather than "profit"?

    If you examine the Holocaust with a scientific mind you will find that there are quite a few inconsistencies. It's sad that any historical examination that goes against the consensus is illegal in some places. Instead one is labeled and slurred. One could draw comparisons to religious censorship throughout history, the ties between the holocaust and religion seem to run deep. Before you accuse me of being a closet anti-semite, I'll have you know that I am married to an Israeli(both her parents were holocaust survivors.)
