A A A

Minister Wimal Weerawansa has held Google responsible for the circulation of the anti-Islamic movie - ‘Innocence of Muslims’- that has sparked violent protests by Muslims all over the world.

Minister Weerawansa has charged that the US authorities are operating the Google search engine to suit their whims and fancies while violating ethics.

Speaking further he has strongly criticized the US for engaging in activities that have posed a threat to world peace and has urged the responsible authorities to censor the availability of the movie on Google, to Sri Lanka users.

YOu cant blame google as far as the law allows them to do so. Why cant we organise a signature capaign in sri lanka and also spread to other countries to send a petition to UN to adopt a policy to ban and prhibit items (Video, Texts Etc) that insult other religion, which escalates violance among communities.

I know the some claims made by wimal are preposterous but people have to understand there is some truth to. Google has a part to play in asserting violence and tensions within countries and religious sects. The Google corp is a US government controlled biased institution who are adamant in oppressing information that could be potentially fetal to their order.
By reading the comment for this article i only makes me think how ignorant most people are they have no idea how the world work, how politics work. Its a shame..

Wimal, Is that you signed in as Jason? Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) is an American multinational corporation which provides Internet-related products and services, including internet search, cloud computing, and software and advertising technologies. Advertising revenues from AdWords generate almost all of the company's profits. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE US GOVT. (and you dare to call US ignorant?). USA and almost all other first world countries are not run by a bunch of despots 'who are adamant in oppressing information that could be potentially fatal to their order.' for that, you have to look closer to home.

I am no fan of Minister Wimal Weerawansa but in this instant he has a point, albeit a very distant one. The US government has control on the output of Google (owners of Youtube) although in theory there is the much cherished Freedom of Speech. E.g.There cannot be any output that incites racial hatred or even statement such as the denial of the holocaust. I welcome these exceptions but I doubt the film "The Innocence of Muslims" come into this category.

Hussain Tuesday, 25 September 2012 04:42 PM

The US First Amendment permits free speech including offensive speech. The film Innocence of Muslims was neither produced by the US government nor endorsed by the US people. A couple of fanatics produced it, but today the US is been blamed globally.'The film must be banned and the US must enact laws that ban racial and religious incitement and hatred'. But as Americans guard the First Amendment so jealously this is unlikely to happen. The US government has no control whatsoever over the output/content of Google.
