YouTube, has blocked users in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Egypt from viewing the clip. It also has blocked the video from being viewed in Indonesia and India because it violates laws in those countries.

Other Countries, such as Pakistan have also taken action.

It's such a shame they not blocking it completely, since most of the hatred towards Islam flares from the European countries and not the eastern countries. It just gives these very hateful people a platform to display their hatred and gain support. What a horrible position for them to be in, no one can avoid the wrath of Allah. Allah grant them guidance.

I started the boycott a couple of days early. Of course it has more evils than good. But it if wasnt for YouTube, I would never of heard lectures by Noman Ali Khan, Zahir Mehmood, Hassan Ali, Mufti Ismail Menk, Shaykh Mumtaz ul Haq etc etc.

On top of that I use it for non Islamic things too. I've been waiting to use YouTube so I can unlock a particular handset and to find instructions on changing the firmware, I also use for it demo's on how to reprogram or fix things, for which the answers arent easily available elsewhere.

An email just in

I appreciate what's been mentioned on the blog BUT the boycott will only be effective if all those participating actually COMPLAIN to & INFORM YouTube +/- Google AND get some form of media coverage.

Otherwise the so called boycott is simply a "storm in a tea-cup" which YouTube will not notice!

Try & persuade all those boycotting to put OFFICIAL COMPLAINTS (use these words or they may not register as complaints but merely as comments!). InshaALLAH, they will then know WHY YouTube users have reduced over this period. Also, in future, they may take notice if warned of a more widespread & organised boycott.


Tawakkaltu Al ALLAH!

From so many days this question is bothering me a lot that many Muslims all around the world are protesting against the pictures (video) made by the oppressors of Muslims. What are the benefits of this?

And did any Muslim protest against any Muslims all around the world who are making their whole life against the teaching of the prophet ?

For every visit youtube makes money, so by boycotting it they will lose out on money.

You dont go on protests for poeple who go against the sunnat, you just go and tell them and make dua for them..

Thats what the work of Jammat and tabligh is. Dawah and Dua.
