BRASILIA:
A Brazilian court on Tuesday banned an online anti-Islam movie that
spawned violent protests across the Muslim world and gave YouTube 10
days to pull the film's trailer from its website.The decision by a state court in Sao Paulo, home to a large Middle Eastern immigrant community, came hours after Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff criticized "Islamophobia" in Western countries in a speech at the United Nations.
The lawsuit against the controversial film was brought by a Brazilian Muslim group, the National Islamic Union, against YouTube owner Google Inc for posting on the Internet a film it said was offensive and a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.
