How terribly nice of them:

YouTube unblocked in Pakistan, blasphemous clips not removedIslamabad: Pakistani government has reopened YouTube, a video-sharing website, after almost three months of closure from September 17, 2012 but the blasphemous material is still present on the website.The government on September 17 blocked the video sharing website over anti-Islam film. Innocence of Muslims, mocking over Prophet (PBUH) and other rituals of Islam.
The video sharing website was reopened after Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Saturday directed Internet service providers and information technology (IT) companies to immediately reopen it.
Good on YouTube for not giving into the bearded savage lunatic element in Pakistan (which, it must be said, does not speak for everyone there by a long way, but the most violent and obnoxious generally get their way in all these circumstances). I'm also glad that the Pakistanis have finally found their own arses with both hands and shown a tiny bit of common sense. Nice Christmas present too, I guess.
Blasphemy will not go away. It will thrive.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to them all. Perhaps even a few drinks on the side are in order? In secret, naturally.
