FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Pakistan’s prime minister has ordered YouTube’s suspension in the country over the “blasphemous” anti-Islam film as the country has become gripped by violent protests in response to the video.
“
The Prime Minister said that blasphemous material would not be tolerated and the services of YouTube would remain suspended till the removal of blasphemous material
,” the office of Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf said in a statement.
Pakistan has been trying to block the inflammatory video, which depicts Islam’s Prophet Muhammad as a child molester, since Thursday. Over 700 YouTube links to the trailer of the amateur film entitled “The Innocence of Muslims” have been blocked on the authorities’ request, but this has proven to be insufficient.
Earlier, PTA said in a statement that it “has proactively blocked and is vigorously preventing all access to the anti-Islamic video placed on the worldwide web via YouTube, the ‘Innocence of Muslims,'” adding that they are working closely with all the service providers to block the provocative US-made clip.
So far, Google has been refusing calls from the White House to review the trailer and ban it altogether, since the clip remains within the company’s guidelines. Instead, the US-based company which owns YouTube, has been responding to requests from individual countries.
“We’ve restricted access to it in countries where it is illegal such as India and Indonesia, as well as in Libya and Egypt, given the very sensitive situations in these two countries,” the company said. “This approach is entirely consistent with principles we first laid out in 2007.”
In addition to Egypt, Libya, India and Indonesia, access to the video in question has also been blocked in Afghanistan, where authorities blocked YouTube entirely until the video is deleted from the website, and in the United Arab Emirates.
Meanwhile, the anti-film demonstrations in the Asian country are only widening. Monday alone, over 10,000 of Pakistanis all across the country were venting their anger at the US and the film. Two people were killed in clashes with police as hundreds-strong rallies marched through towns and cities burning US flags, portraits of President Barack Obama and at times buildings they were passing. Over 40 people have been arrested.
