As you may recall from yesterday, YouTube appears to be embracing censorhsip on behalf of groups like CAIR, which is linked with radical Islam.
Evidently the Little Green Footballs blog placed a video on line to address the issue discussed in this post and subsequently CAIR took steps to pull anti-radical Islamist videos from YouTube. And according to this report via Michelle Malkin, who has had one of her videos banned, some have also had their YouTube accounts closed.
After several attempts to contact YouTube, they finally responded and referred me to the PSA below:
I just checked and "No Jew Tube" has flagged your brilliant rebuke as offensive.
"This video may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community.
To view this video, please verify you are 18 or older by logging in or signing up."
What can be the anti-radical Islam answer to You Tube and Digg, etc.? And are they being truly threatened/pressured or just preemptively dhimmifying themselves - just in case? The systematic and systemic placement of lefties' heads firmly in the sand is truly disturbing.

What does PBUT stand for?

What does PBUT stand for?
When Muslims invoke the name of Mohamed, it must always be followed with a saying, which in English is translated into (Peace Be Upon Him). If you watch some of the videos of al qaeda, you'll note they do that very thing. My PBUT was just some snark on that convention.
