In class, I read an article named Google rejects White House request to pull Mohammad film clip. It said that Google rejected a request by the White House to reconsider its decision to keep a movie clip. On Tuesday, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in a siege on the embassy in Benghazi. They were killed because the movie clip showed Prophet Mohammad as a fraud and philanderer. White house officials had asked Google to reconsider whether the video had violated YouTube's Terms of Service. Google said that the video was within its guidelines.

I honestly think that the video should be taking down. I know that there’s freedom of speech and that probably the guy that did the movie clip probably thought that way. But people that believe in Mohammad didn't like it.

 On the YouTube terms and policy it says that "We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity). This is what I think is hate speech because it makes fun of Mohammad, and some people believe in him, and they took that offensive. Because of that movie clip, the U.S. Ambassador and three other Americans were killed. Well I think that video should be taken down because it offends people who believe in Mohammad.
