I believe Google are just trying to save their business. You can't blame 
them about this stance.

Imagine, you post something, that someone who doesn't agree with you 
claims is offensive to them. Should Google remove it? Why?

This forum is not appropriate for religious propaganda. I happen to live 
in a country, that was subject to mass extinction for half a millennium 
because of that same religion. Please. To me such statements are no less 
offensive than what you claim to be the video to you (which you haven't 
even seen).

You yourself said we should not discuss the contents. This is ok. But 
let's discuss the circumstances. Who made that translation? In my 
opinion, those who made the translation are those who seek the present 
conflict.
