I need some favor from moslem people?
So I am not a moslem, but I have some moslem friends, some of them are very smart people, some of them are my professors and advisors back then when I was an undergrad. So I know that moslems are respectable people, just like the others. But it seems that some ignorance from people in Indonesia had caused great trouble for Indonesian internet users. There was a film in YouTube that enraged the moslem community in Indonesia, and as a result, the minister make an extreme and misguided policy, by blocking the entire YouTube, Google, Rapidshare, etc. And in the process using millions of dollars, while lots of people in Indonesia still live in poverty, and uneducated. I know moslems are people who respect knowledge, who had invented algebra in the past, so if you are willing to help, I will need you to do some favor. Please find some way to persuade your brothers in Indonesia, that blocking these network are not going to do any good, while the money can be used to help the poor, most of which are also your moslem brothers and sister. Personally I am not really affected by this blocking. It is mostly your moslem brother and sisters who currently studying to expand their knowledge, which are going to be affected. As Indonesia are mostly moslems. They are going to have a hard time finding materials for their study.

The blocking of youtube is more to political then muslims, there alot debate that Gov shouldn't block youtube, it's like killing rat by burning house. The blocking is because youtube don't respect Indonesian Gov,to delete that movie, so Gov feel humiliated and to show the power, Gov block youtube. You still can use public proxy or use google translation to open youtube.
