Kuwait is to block internet access to youtube because of videos that could offend muslims. Which videos are those? Videos in which terrorists invoke verses of the quran/hadith to justify murder, pillage and terror? Or videos that actually point that out? Reuters
KUWAIT, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Kuwait has ordered local Internet service providers to block online video-sharing website YouTube over clips that could offend Muslims.
"Since the website displays the Koran in the form of songs sung with the oud (stringed instrument) ... and displays disrespectful pictures of the Prophet Mohammad ... please proceed with immediate effect in blocking the website www.youtube.com," read a copy of a memo obtained by Reuters.
The Ministry of Communications was not immediately available for a comment. The website could still be accessed in Kuwait on Monday.
