Network Solutions takes down site against Islam
25 03 2008US based domain name registrar Network Solutions has reportedly taken down the promotional website of a 15-minute film that is said to be derogatory to the religion of Islam.
The domain name and website, which belong to a Dutch lawyer and filmmaker Geert Wilders, have been taken offline after Network Solutions reportedly received complaints about the offensive nature of the film.
The film is said to have described the Islam as “the enemy of freedom” - a statement that is worrying Dutch officials about possible violence, similar to the results of the controversy surrounding Dutch newspapers’ publication of an illustrated depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.
I wonder if this move will be able to stop Mr. Wilders from releasing the full version of his movie as he says he will do within a month’s time. If no other domain registrar or web hosting company allows him to do it, he can always put it up on Youtube and other similar sites that have enormous visitors every day.
Supposing that Mr. Wolders does this and even if subpoenas were served to Google for taking down the objectionable videos from its subsidiary Youtube, millions would have already seen the video and that serves the purpose of Mr. Wilders. Not to mention the enormous amount of publicity this issue has already garnered.

Unnecessary provocation?.
Where are the Good Dutch? Waar zijn het Goede Nederlands?.
America is the most Shariah compliant country in the world.
I don’t see why we cant see this film. We can watch films about hate everywhere. We can see films criticizing America, Christianity, Jews, Blacks, Gays, and other categories. So why not a book? Because it’s a delicate subject? Or because people complained? Get over it. Not everyone has the same views as those blocking the film. We can have Neo-Nazis chanting in the streets but we cant show a 15 minute long video about something all of us already know about.
