Islamabad, Pakistan - Just days after initiating a country-wide ban on Google's (NASD: GOOG) YouTube -- that in the process inadvertently knocked out access to the site from most of the world for several hours -- Pakistan has restored its YouTube access, the Associated Press reports. The country had ordered its 70 Internet service providers to block access to YouTube in light of a "blasphemous" video from a Dutch lawmaker working on a movie that would purportedly portray Islam as "fascist and prone to inciting violence against women and homosexuals," AP reported. That video has since been removed.
