Google Inc is still investigating the incident to find out what happened and they have removed the clip. Regulation of telecommunications Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, said that the clip was so inflammatory that it could trigger riots, according to media reports.

The clip featured part of a film made by a Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who characterized the Koran as a book that encourages fascist in the assassination. Wilders previously compared the Koran to Adolf Hitler “Mein Kampf. This was critical for Pakistan and they tried to block the clip as fast as possible.
