Pakistan court bans Facebook in row over prophet

[ex-muslim Ahmed]

A court in Pakistan has ordered the authorities temporarily to block the Facebook social networking site.
The order came when a petition was filed after the site held a competition featuring caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
The petition, filed by a lawyers' group called the Islamic Lawyers' Movement, said the contest was "blasphemous".
Facebook denied that it was "trying to slander the average Muslim", on its information page for the contest.
"We simply want to show the extremists that threaten to harm people because of their Muhammad depictions that we're not afraid of them," the statement said.
"They can't take away our right to freedom of speech by trying to scare us into silence."
Correspondents say that publications of similar cartoons in Danish newspapers in 2005 sparked angry protests in Muslim countries - five people were killed in Pakistan.
Internet is free in Pakistan but the government monitors content by routing all traffic through a central exchange.
Justice Ejaz Ahmed Chaudhry of the Lahore High Court ordered the department of communications to block the website until 31 May, and to submit a written reply to the petition by that date.

If a mere caricature of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) can belittle a great man like the Prophet, then I cannot see any greatness in him.

People of Pakistan! Ignore the caricature. Let the Great Man stand on his own feet, if he is a great man.

I have just check facebook is not opening in pakistan.
I hope Pakistan this Good step will become a ideal for other muslim country to ban facebook also and facebook will face a heavy loss because of his supports to those Racist and peace haters.

You have no knowledge about Islamic concept of this world life therefore you comments in this way.we have discussed this many time.
islam a way of life supports good deeds and forbide evils and promise to help the believer in both worlds.

May 20th - instead of boycotting let's follow the guidance from the Qur'an and Hadith. Let's join together and learn/share/follow the beautiful teachings of Islam and become better Muslims in the process of doing Da'wah - "with wisdom and beautiful preaching" - Insha'Allah. : )

Rasulullah [SallAllahu Alayhi WaSallam] said, "Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well - you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong - you will do wrong. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong if they do evil." (Al-Tirmidhi #1325)

"And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allâh (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands firm (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allâh's (Islâmic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims." (The Qur'an 41:33)

"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth, best who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." (The Qur'an 16:125)

In Pakistan Minorities are more saved than muslim and also more than in india and siri lanka.

Here There is no such events like Gujraat and ahmed abad holocasts.

Muslim like to give respect and take respects.

Hafizaad my man tell me is this true what u just said not about doctors i really dont wanna know abt that. About non muslims being treated better than muslims. Can non muslims build their own religious places like muslims do everywhere in sl. Do non muslims get holidays for their religious festivals like muslims in sl. Can non muslims practise their religions in public like muslims do in sl? Can they really?
