Wilders's US Internet Provider Officially Nukes His Site - Because It's Just Too Interesting

Interested

Yeah, that's why:

An American network provider Sunday said it had suspended a website that Dutch MP Geert Wilders had reserved to post his anti-Islamic film, which has sparked wide condemnation and fears of a backlash. "Network Solutions has received a number of complaints regarding this site that are under investigation," the provider said a message posted on the Internet... Computer experts have warned that controversy surrounding the movie could cause network mayhem once it is put online, if too many people try to view it at the same time.

Probably has nothing to do with the death threats they've certainly received and the DDOS attacks that have probably already been launched. The Dutch Muslim association, by the by, has filed suit to have the movie preemptively censored. This would be censorship above and beyond the total blackout imposed by Dutch television stations. Remember during the Cartoon Jihad when Western outlets cowered in fear and everybody with a brain said "this will become a slippery slope into totally banning criticisms of Islam?" And apologists for the vaunted Muslim Street said that it was just about the cartoons?

Turns out it wasn't just the cartoons.
