The film has been taken down. A short explaination of why it has been taken down is in its place. In short: Muslim thugs have threatened people’s lives.

Thanks to Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch for posting the text of the explaination. I’m reproducing Spencer’s full post here:
What ever happened to “Give me liberty, or give me death?”
Or “We pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor”?
Here is LiveLeak’s statement on why they pulled Fitna:
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.
“In the end the price was too high” could be the epitaph of the Free West.
I understand their concern for their employees — sure. The employees didn’t sign up for this. But if Americans and Westerners and all people who are threatened by the global jihad and Islamic supremacism aren’t willing to give their lives for this cause, then all is lost. Because the jihadists certainly are willing to give their lives for their cause. For them, no price is too high. And if any price is too high for us, then ultimately all we will have to pay is jizya.
