OPEN LETTER TO GOOGLE, YOUTUBE, ICANN et. al. Respected Sir, I am writing with regard to your recent decision to intimidate the website hosts GoDaddy.com into releasing the rights to YOUTUBEISLAM.COM. While I am a regular user of Google�s services, I was saddened to see Google taking such an approach against a much loved website amongst the International Muslim community. YOUTUBEISLAM.COM has been enjoyed over the last several years, by millions of Muslims all around the world. Even non-Muslims have commented on the excellent quality of this website, operated by American converts to Islam. Frankly speaking, this type of action is going to be questioned in very serious terms around the planet by many different individuals and business as well as governments, due to the ramifications implied by the way this matter is being handled. On the occasion of the upcoming month of Ramadan (August 21), the absense of this particular website could be cause boycotts and protests of a global scale during this significant month of fasting and praying for the Muslim community. You would be well advised to confirm this with Muslims working within your organization, as this website and the man who founded it, are well loved and respected by a vast majority of Muslims throughout the entire world. You may consider my letter as confirmation of intention to provide full support to a collaborative effort for boycotting services of any group or organization involved in this distasteful activity. I sincerely advise you to reconsider your position in this matter and take whatever steps may be necessary to correct it. And allow the continued use of this ad-free non-partisan, family website with the familiar name: YOUTUBEISLAM.COM And this request is not only my personal, its a request of Millions of Muslims & non-muslims around the world. Yours Truly, (NebuDohA)- Mohammed Nawaz � Doha Qatar

The momentum behind this effort is growing and it makes the exhaustion feel a bit more manageable. I am pushing forward even when the path ahead looks difficult because this cause requires us to keep going.
