The Dutch vs. Islam, part II

Pakistan has blocked YouTube, because of the concern surrounding a short 10-minute film that is going to be released in the near future.

Why the concern?
An anti-Islamic film, by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, will be portraying the Quran as a fascist book.
What's so queer about it?
The film is said to touch on how Islam is supposedly prone to inciting violence against women and homosexuals. After the violence that the cartoons of Muhammad caused last year, I'm not counting on it being a very peaceful March :(

2.26.2008 update: Looks like the ban's been lifted.
