The terrorists have won, but you won't be able to watch the celebration on YouTube.
In surprising news that's only surprising because it took so long for Google to do it, the company, which owns YouTube, finally pulled most of the videos of radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, according to The New York Times. For a few years now, the cleric, who was tied to the Ft. Hood shooter, has had hundreds of videos calling for jihad on the website. Lawmakers have been asking Google to remove the videos.
The American-born al-Awlaki has been targeted for assassination by the the United States for inciting jihad against this and other countries. Al-Awlaki, who is in Yemen, has also been charged with crimes in that country after he was possibly tied to mail cargo bombings and urging a Yemeni to kill foreign nationals.
So let's hope terrorists can't find another video sharing site. But for those who still need their al-Awlaki fix, here's one strange video by the cleric on death and...Michael Jackson. Of course.
Guess the next YouTube star isn't going to be a terrorist [VIDEO]:

There is a thing called freedom of speech, and the government has NO right to pull that from you.
Title:
Israel is governed by a former Terrorist Organisation USA funds them to survive !
Description:
FACT! Irgun was a Zionist paramilitary group that operated in the British mandate of Palestine between 1931 and 1948. It was an offshoot of the earlier and larger Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah. Since the group originally broke from the Haganah it became known as the Haganah Bet. Irgun members were absorbed into the Israel Defence Forces at the start of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. In present-day Israel, the Irgun is commonly referred to as Etzel. The Irgun policy was based on what was then called Revisionist Zionism founded by Ze'ev Jabotinsky. According to Howard Sachar, "The policy of the new organization was based squarely on Jabotinsky's teachings: every Jew had the right to enter Palestine; only active retaliation would deter the Arabs; only Jewish armed force would ensure the Jewish state". Some of the better-known attacks by the Irgun were the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946 and the Deir Yassin massacre (carried out together with Lehi) on 9 April 1948. Critics of the Irgun have seen it as a terrorist organization. It was legally classified as such by the new State of Israel in 1948. The Irgun was a...

The Irgun was a political predecessor to Israel's right-wing Herut (or "Freedom") party, which led to today's Likud party. Likud has led or been part of most Israeli governments since 1977. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Likud's leader is Benjamin Netanyahu !
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Some now have power in the US government! Does the US have a double standard for Israel? We know all about Hamas and Hezbollah, but why don't Americans know more about other militant organizations—particularly those in Israel? Danny Schechter says that the media doesn't help people understand the dynamics and instead engages in mass deception.

They won't allow nudity but they'll allow people promoting violence? The god of internet should remove Youtube.
Your freedom only goes as far as mine begins. It's not about the right to not be offended. It's about the right to not have to tell someone to fly a plane into my workplace.
There are a few "Respected" Countries today whose leaders were once on a wanted list as Terrorist for blowing up embassies and killing innocent people
Yup, aiding and abetting, as You Tube does, with allowing their platform to be used for such matters, would appear to be hmmmmmmmmmmm Lets call it a CRIME, too.
I am kinda more for their penalty money going to pay down the cost of our budget deficits, personally
Along those same lines, there's a mosque being erected near 911 ground zero. Do they have the right, sure? Should it be done, no? NY city officials and Muslim leaders have thrown common sense out the window and they should not have the right to be ignorant!
You are right. Trying to live forever in this life is vain lie from Satan spoken to eve in his eloquent statement that said: Thou shalt not surlily die. That is an out, and out lie. Satan is death, but The risen Lord in whoever loving whoever is eternal life.
