Muhammad Shuts Down German Website

From the desk of Edwin Jacobs on Wed, 2006-03-08 19:17

The German website euroislam.info has been shut down because it published the Muhammad cartoons. The first page can still be found in Google’s cache. The owner of the website apparently received an e-mail (original in German) from his Internet service provider Neue Medien Münnich, stating that the website was shut down immediately and without giving a period of notice.

The service provider motivates the closing down of his customer's website by referring to complaints he received from third parties and his legal obligations as an Internet service provider, but he also adds:

The complaints we received were decisive [for shutting down your site], and also the fact that people are dying elsewhere because of the simple depiction of the Muhammad cartoons. One is allowed to defend strict points of view regarding freedom of expression and freedom of the press. We wonder however whether we should contribute to the fact that a fire is kindled as the result of an exchange of views. We don’t think so.

It is not the first site to be shut down for publishing the Muhammad cartoons (see them here, halfway down the page). [Fortunately The Brussels Journal is being hosted in the US]. The Swedish government also shut down a website for the same reason.

This German instance is different because the website has not been shut by the authorities but by an Internet service provider because the latter received complaints, although they do not specified from whom or when or what the exact contents of these complaints might be. It is not clear why the whole website was shut down and why e.g. the mere removal of certain texts or pictures would not suffice.

Another - separate - reason why euroislam.info has been shut down is apparently because the Internet service provider himself does not agree with the contents of the website of its customer euroislam.info. He refers not only to his legal obligations as a service provider under German legislation, but specifically adds a motivation of his own: “People are dying because of the simple depiction of the Muhammad cartoons.”

This last element is a very strange reaction, certainly in the light of the fact that some of the German mainstream media have also published the Muhammad cartoons, just as some other European newspapers did. The German paper Die Welt has published one of the cartoons. The Berliner Zeitung also reprinted two cartoons as part of its coverage of the cartoon controversy. The German association of professional journalists (DJV) supported the reprinting of the Muhammad cartoons in German newspapers as an essential element of the freedom of expression.

Danish Cartoons verses Palestinian Cartoons

I wonder if Germany would allow this Palestinian website that celebrates suicide/homicide bombers for their Muslim/German children...(Warning...article from a Jewish Controlled Media source for those of you who are obsessed with conspiracy theories)

For anybody who is interested and has access to Fox News, Robert Spencer, The Polically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades and www.jihadwatch.org is going to be a guest on Neil Cavuto today for a brief debate with Ahmed Younis of the Muslim Public Affairs Council.  The topic will be the poll finding the more Americans think Islam is violent than they did in 2001.

 

Also, Spencer recently did an interview about the Crusades....

 

Q: The Crusades are often portrayed as a militarily offensive venture. Were they?

Spencer: No. Pope Urban II, who called for the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont in 1095, was calling for a defensive action -- one that was long overdue.

The German - are doing the same as Sweden

Submitted by Poul Nielsen on Tue, 2006-03-14 23:05.

The German - are doing the same as Sweden !

Sweden has closed sites with the danish cartoons. In Denmark we don't understand why. Today I read this:

New report about anti-semitism in Sweden: 41 percent are very or somewhat negatively inclined towards Jews. 25 percent of the Swedes are disinclined to have a Jew as their Prime Minister. As many (25%) say that the Jews have decisive influence over the world economy, 15 percent say that the Jews have too much power in the world today. So says a new survey by the Forum for Living History which was based on 3000 responses to be published today. In total, 36 percent of Swedes have some anti-semitic views but are sceptical of other anti-semitic views.

questions to those who can answer re: muslim problems

Submitted by europa on Mon, 2006-03-13 12:25.

ISLAMIC COUNTRIES talk tough and all and start a lot of murder and hate towards democratic countries. WHY AREN'T THEY ATTACKING COMMUNISTS?
NO ONE PERSECUTES MUSLIMS MORE THAN COMMUNIST COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, NORTH KOREA, VIETNAM, CUBA, RUSSIA is somewhere in the middle? I WONDER WHY THEY DON'T?
IS IT FEAR THEY MIGHT GET ANNIHILATED AND THAT SUCH GOVERNMENTS HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE AND DON'T USE DIPLOMACY FIRST LIKE WESTERN NATIONS?
This proves that islamic countries only do what they do when YOU DON'T USE OVERWHELMING FORCE. It seems to me that only a nazi type regime in europe or any parts of the west can stop this insanity. Otherwise, there goes democracy?

HE'S OK ACTUALLY, IT IS OREILLY THAT SOMETIMES GET ME WHEN DEFENDING MUSLIMS AND HE'S CATHOLIC TOO. HOW CAN ANY CATHOLIC NOT CONDEMN MUSLIM, I NEVER GET IT? MUSLIMS ARE OUT TO CHOP SUEY EVERY CATHOLIC AND CHRISTIAN THERE ARE.

ANYWAY, YOU SHOULD BE A GUEST DEFENDER OF THE WEST AT THESE INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL NEWS NETWORK LIKE FOXNEWS AND CNN FOR EXAMPLE. YOU CAN TELL AMERICA AND REMIND THE MEDIA AND THE POLITICIANS THAT MOST AMERICANS "HATE" MUSLIMS AND DO NOT SUPPORT OR BEFRIEND THEM. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THAT LIKES MUSLIMS, MAYBE THE BRITTS OR THE FRENCH?

Why Europa.. Thank You!

I take that as a compliment, most likely the highest one I have had in many a day!

I am sincere when I say this, I have a little tear at the corner of my eye. I would yield to the feeling and shed more.. but I have to get out there and tell people things about muslims today.

Europe will survive, if we have to wipe every "muslim" out here to do it!

I have a dream! My dream is that one day from every part of europe people, of all colours, all walks of life and all
cultures can stand hand to hand as friends, neighbors and co-workers, as lovers, as partners in marrigae, life and business. That people of all orientations will call each other brother and sister and be blessed.. Yes, we will all be together. Red, Yellow, Black, White and Brown.. AND NOT A MUSLIM IN SIGHT!
I have a dream! That it will be the same in America, in Asia and in the state of Israel!
Which oddly enough will be difficient in them as well.

In fact there will be Greece and Israel there. Oh Egypt can stay they are not arab really. But NO MUSLIMS will be found anywhere!

THANK GOD ALMIGHTY .. FREE OF MUSLIMS AT LAST!

No ports or nukes for Muslims: read this article

Speaking of proliferation, I was always amused when I hear Britain’s sanctimonious prime minister, Tony Blair, sermonise about the evils of Iraq’s so-called weapons of mass destruction.  His moralising reminds me of the media joke which made the rounds during the time of the US invasion of Iraq: ‘Of course we know Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.  We have the receipts to prove it!’

Re: Inter-faith Dialogue with muslims BAH!

Submitted by A New Believer on Mon, 2006-03-13 11:04.

"A plan to promote inter-faith dialogue with Danes has sparked controversy among Muslim scholars"

OH MY GODS! Finally, someone is listening but for all the WRONG reasons. The controversy is that NONE is the "muslims" are going to "listen" anyway! It will become a recruiting foray to try to get a few decent people confused about a filthy man from arabia and his cult of personality religion! The gang of muslims!

The only time these people desire to inter faith dialogue is when they have an
axe to grind, an agenda to promote, to proselytize, to whine (anyone care for a little blush or white whine to go with that), to posture, to try to present themselves as the only good sons of Abraham!

The "kushite woman" Sarah, Abraham's wife was right! If not for finding that oasis in the desert, there would be no disgusting terrorists
babbling loudly as they blow up innocent people about " bababba allllaaah akk kubar"

Questions can you people pray from the minaret in the Amsterdam neighborhood where they are removing the
cross from a memorial of those killed during the Second World War..and not disturb the residents 5 times a day? You know I heard that prayer was better than sleep. So you would rather inlfict YOUR religious fervour on hardworking people, and disrespect the sacrifices made there, when you have brought nothing to that part of the table eh? But I have a suggestion..why not just sleep eternally!

When the courts "punish with the death penalty ALL MUSLIM TERRORISTS!" When the 'muslim governments" stop hiding those same no account,slimy miscreants sons of camel dung! When the liberal and moderate "muslims" start condemning and actually working to achieve peace..instead of reacting like a group of deranged ostriches or dancing in the streets, the way wild west whores did at a hanging...then MAYBE I will care what they decide in a courtroom about the Mohammed cartoons! Until ALL the "peaceful muslims" do, I will be wearing my T - shirts one with all 12 of the cartoons ANYWHERE I darn well please! And I "pray" the first scumbag muslim" that lays a hand on me.. I can guarantee will DIE! Cause I DO intend to KILL him/her! Thank You!

"people are dying elsewhere because of the simple depiction of the Muhammad cartoons"

 The killers are left untouched and respected while the truth revealers are shut down or clamped downed.  That is a very disturbing behavior indeed.  There goes freedom of expression, but more freedom for the killers.

He also is accused of "Volksverhetzung" (incitement) because of the contents of the site.

I am headed to a Republican party confab in Memphis Tennessee this weekend and I am interested in "taking the party's temperature", politically-speaking to see how strongly the various candidates feel about our War on Terror.  Seeing what transpired in the Dutch elections yesterday gives me a chill.  I have just recently found this website and feel that it is high quality.  Keep up the good work.

to andrea: REDEFINING WAR ON TERROR

Submitted by europa on Thu, 2006-03-09 04:54.

the war on terror should be reclassified as it always has been as THE WAR BY MUSLIMS TOWARDS THE REST OF THE WORLD, especially JEWS AND CHRISTIANS.

It is not a war on just so called terrorist or extreme groups of islam. the whole religion is EXTREME IN IT'S IDEOLOGY AND PRACTICE.
It is ludicrous to indicate this war as being a war against fanatics in the islamic religion, when it really is THE WHOLE RELIGION!

Can anyone in the white explain the HISTORY BEHIND THE MUSLIM RELIGION AND THE COUNTRIES IT HAS KIDNAPPED?

If the war was only on a few groups like osama, hamas, taliban, hezbola etc...
explain the constant defense of so called muslims in the muslim worlds towards these groups as being FREEDOM FIGHTERS and having unity regarding their hatred towards JEWS AND CHRISTIANS?

Explain the endless warring of muslims all over the world towards all governments and religion and the persecution they do to NON MUSLIMS worldwide in their perspective countries?

RUSSIA, INDIA, PHILIPPINES and not just europe, Israel and Africa is where these islamist are attacking.
It is obvious it's the whole religion, to say otherwise IS A BOLD FACE LIE...this is truly a HOLY WAR or JIHAD started by MUSLIMS worldwide and it didn't start on 911 either, it started hundreds of years ago and gain momentum in 911. Muslims literally believe they can take over the world thru ISLAMOFACISM or their enforcement of the sharia in the koran...just ask THE NEW BELIEVER! here on this forum and balder, patriot for example who tons of proof!

I have and my friends have personal experiences because we are asians in the pacific islands...it's in our history of the threat of muslims.

I guess I'll speak on his behalf on a LIGHTER TONE out of respect for the editor, as I don't want to be misconstrued as MUSLIM "BASHER" by the editors here and be CENSORED like kungfumaster and a few others who was expressing their freedom of speech in past commentaries.

excessive meddling

Submitted by Deepdiver on Wed, 2006-03-08 23:26.

This is a very worrying development.
To have european isp's emulate what is going on in places like Pakistan does not bode well for the future of freedom of speech on the continent. The service provider cannot just enforce closure just becuause he does not agree with the content. This is getting ridiculous.

Luckily enough such a thing as a free market exists - consumers will simply shift to isp's based in countries which respect freedom of expression!

Some time ago I and my colleagues decided to migrate to a US isp - it seems like we were just in time!

Keep on blogging!
