A new social network targeted toward Muslims was launched by a “25-year-old Pakistani man” in response to the offensive Facebook group that resulted in Pakistan banning Facebook for over a week. While the concept isn’t a bad one, there are a couple things going against this company. First, their name includes the word “Facebook”, so good luck not getting a letter from Facebook’s lawyers.
Second, they failed to copy Facebook’s well-optimized call-to-actions. For example on the Facebook homepage, any user can immediately begin registering by entering their name, email, password, sex, and birthday. On millatfacebook they need to click a link first. Granted, this isn’t the most significant hurdle and thanks to press there’s a good chance that the site could get some traction.
Unfortunately for Omer Zaheer Meertold, the company’s CEO, Pakistan restored access to Facebook. Despite the odds against Meertold, he has a legitimate idea. The only problem that he has started off on the wrong foot. The site even comes with its own anti-West content. As NYDailyNews.com points out:
There are also music videos and personal photos, but the site is not without its anti-West propaganda.
“All Muslims must get to gather(sic) and we easily can remove Bloody Israel from the map of the World !” reads a post by the user Paiman.
Another post urges members to unite and defeat the “Zionist-owned” Facebook.
