Arab Gulf states are threatening the streaming service Netflix with legal action, demanding that it remove “offensive content,” citing unspecified material that “violates Islamic and societal values and principals.”
i24 News A special committee of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a regional organisation that includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman, made the request in a statement on Tuesday.
Regional authorities “will follow up on the platform’s compliance with the directives, and in the event that the infringing content continues to be broadcast, the necessary legal measures will be taken.” Saudi state media went further, highlighting movies and shows featuring LGBTQ+ characters.
There was no immediate reaction from Netflix.

What values, what a joke,These child predators and animal screwers, have no morals.They are a Satanic cult, evil to the core.
Martelson says
Isn’t anything not used by their prophet against Islamic values? Last time I knew – television was an thing coming in the 20th century.
Jack Rider says
I heard Netflix is working with Disney on an animated and gay-friendly version of Mohammed’s hegira to be screened in Riyadh later this fall. The premier will be hosted by Ellen DeGeneris. Does anyone know how to get tickets? Not to the premier but to the slaughter afterward.
BareNakedIslam says
Oh, I can’t wait to see the reaction.
Az gal says
Well hopefully the censorship will onlybe in Islamoland.
ME Infidel says
Have subplots with beheadings, whipping women, sex with sheep, pedophilia, and a few cries of Allahu Akbar and the threats will disappear.
Rebel Patriot says
And to think, the Israelis will trust some of these muslim countries. I am afraid it will end badly for Israel.
Me says
We have this little magic box called a ‘remote control’ … use it and change the TV channel if you don’t want to watch something you claim is ‘offensive’.
BareNakedIslam says
You can bet these Muslim leaders want to see it, they just don’t want anyone else to.
Me says
Correct … A clear case of “do as I say, not as I do” from the mudslime hypocrites
Linda Rivera's says
These are the VALUES of ISLAM, Mohammad, Mohammad’s Quran and Mohammad’s GOD of DEATH, DESTRUCTION and MASS GENOCIDES and BARBARIC RAPES, GANG RAPES TORTURES and SEX SLAVERY of NON-Muslims.

Barbary Arabs and English and Irish Slaves The Truth Behind This Hidden History
Nell Rose Aug 19, 2020
Hidden History
No, you couldn’t make it up. The biggest wipeout of history hidden by the UK, USA, and Europe is out there for people to read if only they knew of its existence.
Between 1580 -1840 approximately. Recent history. Overlapping the black history of slavery. The same time in fact!
This is the Barbary Coast Arab White Slave Trade.
Towns, burnt to the ground. Slaves in their thousands taken from the ships and towns from England, mainly Cornwall, and Ireland. A few from Wales and Scotland.
In fact, for five years the Barbary coast Arabs from Morocco set up camp on Lundy Island in the Bristol channel, and stayed there, taking as many slaves as possible.
But that’s not all. There were hundreds of thousands taken from Europe too.
And guess what? Yes, North America too.
The White Slaves of the Barbary Coast
So, how did this happen and why don’t we know about it?
I am reading a book called White Gold by Giles Milton. It is the forgotten history of millions of white Europeans and Americans snatched from their homes or from their ships and taken in chains to the huge slave markets of North Africa!
They were tortured, starved, beaten, and sold to the highest bidder, and their governments totally ignored them.
A slave who dropped something on the floor was instantly dispatched by cutting off his head, sometimes being chopped to pieces.
Slaves were kept in a dungeon in their own filth being systematically taken out and beaten, mainly on their feet until their legs were broken.
And this was just for fun.
The woman prisoners were raped and tortured, to try and make them turn to Islam. Many died as Christians.
The British government sent dozens of envoys to visit the Sultan and hand over gold, silver, horses, and so on in exchange for the slaves.
But the sultan would take the gifts and refuse to release the slaves. Many white slaves turned to Islam to save their lives.
But there was one problem with this.
The European governments refused to buy back anyone who had turned Muslim.
Portuguese, Dutch, French, English, and Irish. Thousands all working together in huge slave pits, burnt by lime that was used to make the building walls, tortured, blinded, and beaten.
For at least 2,000 years, the Arabs have taken hundreds of thousands of black slaves from their countries in Africa, mainly from Guinea, and all across the continent.
And they have bred them like cattle. When a child reaches the age of 3, it is taken from its mother and trained to be a guard.
By the time these guards are in their early teens, they are the most terrifying force in all of Morocco. In fact, the sultan was so terrified of them, he wouldn’t allow them to be older in case they turned on him.
They were called the Black Guard.
And they were put in charge of keeping the white slaves down. They were worse than the Arabs with their torture of the white slaves. They particularlyhated the French slaves, and systematically tortured them, keeping them awake then beating them if they fell asleep while working…..

Holy cow. A ban on LGBT programming? Isn’t that 90% of Netflix content? On the other hand, they’d have an opportunity wife shop on Cuties.
Major Tom says
Lawfare……in the name of Shariah……
xenonman says
Isn’t “Islamic values” an oxymoron?
BareNakedIslam says
It depends on what your definition of “values” is.
