Dutch MP’s anti-Islam film gets barbs, cheers on YouTube
Snippets of an Islam-bashing film by Dutch far-right MP Geert Wilders were causing a stir Thursday on YouTube, where they triggered cheers and barbs among thousands of viewers.
Wilders made good his pledge to post a controversial film critical of Islam on the Internet and the video quickly spread from British video-sharing website liveleak.com to globally popular YouTube.
YouTube, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, posted a warning that scenes from the video clips were potentially offensive and required users to confirm they are adults before allowing the clips to be viewed.
