About 10 thousand Muslims gathered on Sunday near the London office of Google in the hope of force to force the company's management to delete the video "Muslim Innocence" with YouTube, the newspaper The Telegraph reports. Protesters complained that they live in "age of mocking" over the foundations of morality. Google, however, did not heed their requests - she does not intend to delete the film. The followers of Islam promise to continue promotions in various countries.
In front of the British headquarters of Google, barricades were built, and by noon a crowd of people with posters gathered there: "We love our prophet more than our lives" and "The Prophet Muhammad is the founder of freedom of speech." The speeches of more than a dozen imams in Arabic, English and Urdu in defense of the honor of Muhammad were accompanied by exclamations in the Arabic “God Great” and “Muhammad - the Prophet of Allah”.
Thousands of people came from different parts of Great Britain to take part in the demonstration in the center of the capital and go to the head of the large-scale march in the Hyde Park planned in the coming weeks. According to the organizer of the demonstration of Masud Alam, the next protest promotion will be held by Google offices around the world. “We must not allow insults of the prophet. We will perform until the film is banned,” Alam promised.
The action helped organize about 800 imams throughout the UK, it lasted more than four hours and led to blocking roads almost to the Buckingham Palace.
The demonstration held on Sunday has become the third in London over the past month. The past protest action near the American embassy attracted little attention, while the world media wrote about the wave of protests, which swept through the cities of Libya, Tunisia and Yemen. In the Libyan Bengazis there was an attack on the building of the US Consulate, as a result of which three diplomatic officers and an American ambassador were killed.
“Terrorism is not only the murder of people, but the murder of human feelings. The authors of this film terrorize 1.6 billion people,” said the Telegraph, one of the speakers in London, Sheikh Fayz al -Aktab Siddicui. “You cannot say that all this does not matter, because it is freedom of speech. This is not freedom of speech, it is anarchy,” he emphasized.
According to Sheikh Siddikui, he would like to form a coalition with the Church of the Anglican Church, Catholics, Jewish communities, trade unions and even conservatives to organize a joint campaign against insulting the feelings of believers. "We want everyone to admit that these people (the creators of the film. - Approx. Ed.) Destroy our fragile global society."
The representative of YouTube, commenting on the past protest action, said that he and his colleagues work on creating a community in which everyone can enjoy and express their own opinion. “What is acceptable in one country may be a violation of order and insult in another, and this is a problem,” he agreed and said that the video that caused a storm of protests would remain available on YouTube.
Recall that in the 15-minute film "Innocence of Muslims" the Prophet Muhammad performs in the image of a bloodthirsty feminin, a lecher and a person with unidentified fatherhood. Muslims of the whole world consider themselves offended and demand a ban on access to the film. The video has already provoked a wave of attacks on American diplomatic missions in a number of Muslim countries.
Mass shares were held in North Africa and in the Middle East, as well as in Australia, Southeast Asia, Europe and even in Russia . In a number of cities - for example, in Cairo and Sanya - rallies grew into riots. In Russia, by a court decision, the film "Innocence of Muslims" is recognized as extremist and prohibited to spread. The court decision, according to the law, comes into force 10 days after the adoption, but at the moment the film is still available for viewing on the YouTube website.
The other day, it was reported that the leader of the Al-Qaeda International Terrorist Network Ayman Az-Zawakhiri made an appeal in which Muslims called on the whole world of the Sacred War against the United States and Israel due to the release of the scandalous film.
