Thousands of Muslims Protest 'Age of Mockery' At Google's London Headquarters 515
cold fjord writes "A large protest planned by as many as 800 imams was held today at Google's London headquarters to protest the video, 'The Innocence of Muslims,' which is available on Google's subsidiary YouTube. There may have been as many as 10,000 protesters in what is said to be the first of several planned protests. From the story: 'Speeches by more than a dozen imams . . . urged Muslims to honor the name of the Prophet and not to back down in the face of Google's continuing reluctance to act, and were met with passionate cries of "God is Great" and "Mohammad is the Prophet of God" in Arabic. . . One of the speakers. . . told The Daily Telegraph: "Terrorism is not just people who kill human bodies, but who kill human feelings as well. The makers of this film have terrorized 1.6 billion people." A YouTube spokesperson said: "We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions. "This can be a challenge because what's OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere. This video — which is widely available on the Web — is clearly within our guidelines and so will stay on YouTube."'"

Well, even by the post-9/11-everyone's-a-terrorist [wikipedia.org] definitions, I don't see that but, very well, I'll play your game. Your redefinition of the word terrorist in the English language has killed my human feeling of respect for the English language. I have in my hand a piece of paper written in Crayola crayon that I believe to contain a 4,000 year old text defining English as a sacred language. You see I was drunk one night and I accidentally channeled Zoroaster [wikipedia.org] who is like, way older than Muhammad. And you have killed that spirit inside me. Also, your call for censorship completely kills my internal spirit that there is hope for humanity -- one of the greatest of human feelings. As such you sir are a terrorist by your own definition of the word, enjoy your imminent self-incarceration.
"Organisations like Google are key players and have to take responsibility for civility. You can't just say it doesn't matter that it's freedom of speech. It's anarchy."
Let me guess, you get to define the words "civility" and "anarchy"? Yeah, I get it, some parts of your religion are only compatible if there's one bearded male telling everyone else what to do. It's 2012, you better suppress that shit or you're gonna have a bad time.

If you people want to protest like CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS then more power to you. However should anyone pick up a stone to throw it at another human being in anger may you be struck down by a bolt of lightning from the hevens.

Infidel. Your joke of The Prophet has caused religious furor. I am on a jihad to expose your Anonymous.
May Allah forgive me for I must use anti-muslim tools like Facebook and Youtube to look up your profile.
I have pledged that after I have completed destroying you I will cleanse myself of these demon tools. Until then they are quite useful for you expose yourself to me like a Coward.
But this does not concern us. I can break my own laws to serve God as long as the ultimate justice is done. I will even drink your liquor and sex your womens to fulfill my destiny but I will always hate it and make it known. And then when I destroy an evil life I will be clean even when my own life is done.
Because I thought it was all okay in my head, and I found some cool circular reasoning, and then ignored all the facts, suspended reality, lied to my parents, lost all that I cherished, and if there really was a God he would have sent me straight to whatever Hell is for the amount of evil I wrought in His name.
I will just ignore what all those Christians went through for the past two centuries in realizing that killing in the name of God is always killing in the name of Man.
