Halt over anti-Islam film


The prime minister of Pakistan has ordered Youtube to stop anti-Islam films or any uploaded videos from the communities that were made either intended or unintended that showed disrespecting to the Prophet Mohammad. Any things that cause disrespect and violate the human rights in terms of religious value, cultural and political issues that affected own country, our government has the right to ban or censor it. In the article “Pakistan's PM orders YouTube halt over anti-Islam film”, the take down order is proposed because the video shows offensive to Islam, it has created the anger of the Islamic countries and people, causing the reaction of violent behaviour from the Islamic people that felt affected.




The 911 incident that happened at the world trade centre has caused prejudice into Muslim since then. It is been assumed that the Islam is a violent and cruel religion. The Muslim people are often criticized as dangerous and scary man. It causes racist and stereotype issues. Racism can be understood in two ways, different race will have different characteristics; one is better than the other, and another meaning is prejudice and inequality based on race.

We should not discriminate and prejudice towards any religions, not only Islam. Every religion had the rules of prohibit human against the act of violent, its just that certain people gone down the wrong way of in believing their religious, hence we cannot make assumption by saying all the Islam are behaving violently. There are the good ones and bad one, prejudice and discrimination towards any races or religions have to be stop as it is offending.

Since there are so much discrimination and prejudice on the Muslims, many video had been made to Youtube or blog to voice out their feelings and dissatisfaction and try to correct people's point of view towards the Islamic. Everyone has the freedom of speech based on different cultural and religious, but if your content of speaking seems to offend other religion or races such as insulting and criticize, then this is definitely inappropriate. In conclusion, everyone should respect each other no matter what nationality, cultural, religion, race and background you came from.


Everyone is equal.
