Check out
The Libel Tourist, a new short film from the Moving Picture Institute. It's eight minutes long--and it's incendiary. That may be why the YouTube version is down. But you can watch it at the link above.
Full disclosure -- I do some writing and editing for MPI.

That people like Rachel Ehrenfeld and the late Oriana Fallachi (author of The Rage and the Pride) can be threatened with libel suits and hate speech accusations from the likes of Saudi princes, and that courts in England and Italy entertain such suits and rule in favor of hostile foreigners (and perpetually offended groups) points to one thing - the suicide of Western Civilization. Read Bruce Bawer's While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within for a detailed, well-written account of cravenness in the face of intolerant and violent religious fanatics (a great many of whom are in Europe illegally) who hate the traditions and people of their adopted countries. It's crazy, but many politicians, legal professionals and even police often take actions that favor those who incite violence and hatred in the name of religion. Melanie Phillips writes intelligently and articulately about this phenomenon in her book Londonistan. Chilling.
In the last comment, I forgot to point out that Melanie Phillips had an extraordinarily difficult time in getting Londonistan published in Britain. "The Battle to Publish Londonistan" appeared in the Jewish Chronicle on June 16, 2006, and can be found online here:

Her book eloquently covers some of the points made in The Libel Tourist, and to those made by the authors I mentioned in my first post.
