Allah is so insecure, If God gives truth, what is there to fear, unless of being proven wrong?
Truth is its own strength.

Thanks for that tip. Memo should be shredded to pieces. It’s not official without required signatures

I just confirmed from our main contact with the MoC people, that he talked to the same person who’s name was signed at the bottom of the memo which was published in alJarida, asking him what should we do? should we proceed with the block? and the reply was and I quote “wait, the memo is on hold at the moment”.

I think what we need is just a WIDE LAN for Kuwait ONLY.

1st thing I did I checked the youtube.com ;P
The problem is having that person in that place, the issue isn’t with the website is with the content and as I know youtube.com doesn’t publish “porn” as the memo claims! and simply just go to the site and file that this video is offensive and they’ll remove it. better yet, have a whole department called (youtube.com detection/prevention dept.) to monitor and file complains!!
I laughed while reading the suggested sites, gotta have a look at them before they actually take you up on this and block away. Imagine if all traffic actually went through MOC, a day will come where only KFH is allowed .. wait that’s local, you won’t even be allowed outside the country … LOL now that’s a scary impossible thought but I believe they’ll have someone sign on this too 3adee -I’m having too much fun outta this- ;D

Intlxpatr: Thanks. I read your post. What you say is absolutely true. The offensive videos are no longer there, and we are using their technology to promote our religion, and expect them just to keep supporting us, while we block them!

I AM religious, and I go to YouTube all the time. There is a lot of content there that would be offensive to me – if I cared to look at it, which I DON’T! But my niece sends me videos of my adorable grand-nephew on YouTube, family videos, etc. I look up old songs, even religious songs.

I posted one quickly last week, the Hilary Clinton / Palin skit from SNL and told everyone to look quickly before it was removed! Some of the stuff is removed for copyright reasons.

It’s just hard for me to believe this is Kuwait. Kuwait the modern, Kuwait the tolerant, Kuwait the cross-roads of ancient times, Kuwait the educated.

Kuwait Blocking YouTube…

An official order has been made and sent to all Kuwait ISPs by Ministry of Communication to block YouTube because of claims it’s insulting Islam and Quran. Funny thing is, those videos they are referring to are already removed….
