Youtube is a private organization that has it's own rules. Just like
Yahoo, Ebay, and others. Lobbying the Dutch government in an effort to
change an US cor****ation (Youtube) internal policies would seem like
asking the Japanese Emperor to help with a local zoning problem. No, I
have not seen the youtube explanation. No doubt there are many items
there that are available only to registered users. Last time I looked,
registration was free, so what is the problem? We supply our personal
information to greedy outfits on daily basis, why is Youtube different
from Orbitz, Ebay, Amazon?
Are they an agent of some terrorist organization? Is their aim to
undermine our values by not making readily available, nay, NOT promoting
images of nasty muslims waving Kalashnikovs and chanting death to the US
(like we have not seen that before). Do you think a 15 minute splicing
of some disagreeable images will alter the world?
Think not...
Like you wrote, it's available in many other places, again, what is the
problem?

Did you ever see Lewis Black talking about the Superbowl half time
entertainment?
"And there was Britney Spears...singing, but all I saw was: Titty,
titty, titty...ass, ass, ass....titty, titty, ...ass, ass"
It's kind of the same with this "do***entary", which is more like a
second rate PowerPoint presentation. All I got, was: "Muslim, Muslim,
Muslim...bad, bad, bad...Muslim, Muslim, Muslim...bad, bad, bad". All of
which is exactly what I expected to see, except badly presented.
Goebbels would be proud, it's straight out of his propaganda school.
"Take all the bad stuff, make a cocktail out of it, hit a few nerves, a
few common phobias, build in a few threats, mismanage some statistics,
show a few nasty Jews huddled together" and bingo. You've got yourself a
nice inflammatory piece to use over and over again. Oh, I forgot, the
bloodied kids...that is a good image too...Now substitute Arabs for Jews
and you are done.
Like we did not know that there were nasty people in the world...it's
such a ****ing surprise...
Sorry, pal, this is crap!
You can petition whoever you want to hearts delight, but this little
piece will sink like a rock - except for the local Skinhead Beer Fests
and Recruitment Drives.
