While the video was uploaded back in July, it seems that the Arabic
translation/dubbing caused all this mess. And while this is not the
first time our Prophet Mohammad has been insulted this way, this is the
first time it is happening after the Arab spring.<br><br>Fahd<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 5:19 AM, Faisal Hasan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hasansf@gmail.com" target="_blank">hasansf@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This is a serious concern for us who advocate that "content filtering is not a solution rather it should be removed at the source." We understand that this is an issue of "freedom of expression" and due to the corresponding legislation Google is not being able to remove it.<br>
<br>On behalf of the Internet Society Bangladesh Dhaka Chapter may I request chapter delegates and people concerned with Internet governance issues to think about ways how we can address this sort of issues in future. There should be a global consensus about the content that fuels deadly violence shouldn't be hosted by anybody, content that has been flagged by thousands of people should be removed, content about which one third of the worlds population has unequivocal objection can definitely set aside from other contents.<br>
<br>I guess most of you will agree that this is a very sensitive issue and Muslims around the world are deeply shocked by the violence thats being erupting all over the world killing innocent lives as well as by the fact that the content still stays at the source. <br>
