Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers. This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one. Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture. We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.

As I wrote before I'm not at all a fan of Fitna. However I'm even less of a fan of intimidation and death threats by religious idiots. Are the zealots ever gonna wake up? I can't wait... I can't wait for that day. As much as I hate this whole Fitna crap think this is a sad, sad thing. The movie may be a dumb populist / xenophobic pamphlet but I DO strongly believe people have the right to voice their opinion, including narrow-minded ones, especially when no laws have been broken in any way. This is indeed a sad day.
