This is ridiculous. What's the deal, they want universal worship of "Ataturk"? And these bozos want to join the EU? We might as well let North Korea join as well, and extend compulsory worship of Kim Il-sung worldwide once the "Dear Leader" allows them to access the internet.

Isnt this the 3rd time?

I've lost count. It seems each time someone uploads a video offensive to "Ataturk", until it is removed, people who try to access the site receive this block notice. I hope YouTube doesn't change its policy prohibiting making fun of "Ataturk", that means the "Ataturk" cultists will have won.

We want these people in the EU?

YouTube access restored

Turkey is restoring access to YouTube after the video-sharing website removed the videos that prompted officials to block access in the first place. The video file-sharing website said Thursday that it had removed the videos a prosecutor deemed insulting to Turkey’s founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who established the country after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

There are videos crimanaly racist to Greeks on youtube, yet they are not removed nor does the Greek government react.

Has any one noticed how all the Muslim countries seem to complain about every little thing?

Absolutely. And Western countries appease their wishes, because they are scared of them. Come on they are ridicilous and we don't condemn them. The teacher and the teddy bear named Mohammed, the cartoon in Denmark with Mohammed, and the pope quoting , I believe Alexius Comnenus and thereaction. Shit they burned and attacked Orthodox churches and we din't do anything to them.
