According to the Reuters India Twitter account , the Pakistani prime minister has ordered the suspension of YouTube after more violence has broken out around the country in reaction to an anti-Islam film. Protests in many Islamic countries have broken out after a trailers for to the independently made film, ‘Innocence of Muslims’ emerged a few weeks ago. The first protests erupted in Cairo, Egypt and unrest has spread across North Africa and the Middle East. A platoon of marines has been deployed to Sanaa , Yemen to defend the US embassy there after it was stormed by protesters. The suspension of YouTube in Pakistan is likely to be an attempt to slow down the spread of violence. According to the BBC , at least one protester has been killed in protests, thousands have attended a rally in the Philippines and weapons were fired and police cars set alight in Kabul, Afghanistan. The trailer alone has sparked huge amounts of violent outrage. The BBC also reports that ‘the leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah has said the US faces “very dangerous” repercussions if it allows the full video to be released.’ The report says that in a rare public appearance, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah told a rally in Beirut that the world did not understand the “breadth of the humiliation” caused by the “worst attack ever on Islam”. The film trailer is horribly made and generally blunt and insulting, but it also creates a big problem for Google as the owner of YouTub
