Banned: Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia... Google?

Make it illegal to use computers of any kind !Recommend

i think banning facebook and wikipedia is a good step because they are playing with the emotions of muslims.but i dont understand why youtube is banned?Recommend

Google is working now..Recommend

No electricity here so why whine about Internet? Let’s enjoy old traditional days when ppl used to water in real farms rather in farm ville and used to sit on chowks with pals rather than joining “e-groups”Recommend

its a good step from pak government…Recommend

GOOGLE??? WHY GOOGLE????Recommend

This isnt the solution by banning corporate websites atleast Government of Pakistan should sended a proper notice to the owner’s of Facebook or Youtube.Banning Youtube had really effected most Paki Internet users & GOogle shouldnt be blocked It is the world’s leading Search engine. Are we really moving backwords :(Recommend

It’s a good step to discourage such a idiot people who try to play with the emotion of the Muslim Uma. I am realy very happy on this tremendous step of our reputable PTA.
ALLAH is OneRecommend

why has wikipedia been blocked? i completely support the ban on youtube and espacially facebook but blocking wikipedia makes no sense at all !!!Recommend

Blocking fb is still okay…but websites like wikipedia are very helpful, only the links should have been blocked, i am an A level students and have a exam tmrw..wikipedia helped me alot in my previous exams and wud have helped me tmrw aswell..too bad wen it comes to religion are people stop using their bloody heads…blocking the link only wud have been just fine…and i agree, its only a matter of time till the whole internet is blocked…infact blocking youtube is a blessing for PPP, all their scandals are now safely hidden.Recommend

Nice intiative from Pakistan government, first good step of history. Finally, all brothers and sisters efforts resulted as positive.

@Wakeup. Face-book has lost a lot of revenue from their sponsors/advertisers over this matter. I think it is the least we can do in order to protect our religion and retaliate against the haters. They do not have the guts to come and fight us, so they cower by disrespecting our religion. Pure sissy style. Recommend

Blocking Facebook is understandable … But wikipedia is source of information …so is with youtube… atleast they shud put off ban on wikipedia and youtube.Recommend

Banning facebook and other sacrilegious sites is a very bold step taken by the Pakistani government. Although it gets a bit annoying not to be able to log into facebook, but considering the current circumstances the least we can do is to boycott all the sites that offend our beliefs and are a psychological torture in the name of ‘freedom of speech’. Recommend

A very wise step! May Allah reward them! Recommend

this is good step to block facebook.but i don’t understand that why wikipedia & u tube r blocked?becoz wikipedia is the worlds largest free encyclopedia and most informative web.it should not be blocked.i request to pta to unblock wikipedia & u tube.Recommend

PTA has gone bonkered. Facebook ban seems logical though im very against it, only relevant link should have been blocked but why wikipedia?Recommend

I agree with @A.F., what the hell is PTA doing? what are they thinking while blocking everything?

Blocking Facebook was on Principal and was OK, but why are they blocking Youtube, wikipedia and even Google Search?

They will only cause harm to Pakistanis who use these resources heavily to make money and run their families in these tough times.

Govt organizations never miss a chance to prove themselves Stupid as anything…!!!

May Allah help us.Recommend

To everyone who keeps asking: The reason Wikipedia has been blocked is because you can see some of the pictures that were drawn in the contest of the Holy Prophet and read messages that poke fun at the Holy Prophet. Thus until that page is not brought down, which should be soon now, wikipedia remains banned. Recommend

Most of us are grateful to the govt for banning these websites, now let’s see if our govt can ban drone strikes by the USA against our fellow Muslims.Recommend

@nina: good point.
I think sometimes we should look beyond our comforts. I welcome Facebook and Youtube ban. But something is bugging me. Why the hell are other Muslim countries Silent.
As far as wikipedia is concern, i think its a wake up call for all Muslims. We do not have a single Intellectual or research site. No Muslim is thinking of starting something like this. We are busy kissing west A S S. In this situation, i think of great Muslim reformer ; Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. We Muslims need our own encyclopedia and social networking site. Its not impossible. Recommend

Another good news that PTA is also banned Twitter which is a good thinking.Recommend

“Why not ban the entire internet???!!! I see that happening too.”

If you don’t have anything to do on internet rather then browsing silly sites and reading these stupid articles about blah blah so get you *** off from the front of the computer.Why are you asking to shut the internet down, even though it won’t. We people have much work to do here on the internet. We communicate with others, earn and do our business online. Rather then indulging in these hatred things which you people make.Recommend

It is an appreciative step of PTA to block all the cursed websites. Google is not banned. And if they ban google then alternatives are available such as yahoo, aol,ask etc. Youtube must be banned forever because Youtube repeatedly displaying sacrilegious content and if you ppl remember then Youtube was banned in 2008 for the same shameful and objectionable content that they are showing again. Fcaebook should also get banned forever. We can sacrifice our livers for Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W) so why not these evil sites???? Recommend

if you have such a problem with blasphemous content: DONT LOOK AT ITRecommend

its very good that fb has banned bcoz we cant bear insult of our beloved holy prophet {pbuh}Recommend

Well here We Go.. once Again Pakistan Manages To make A mockery of Itself on The World Stage… And Its People Mislead In the Name Of The Holy Cause… …In No Way Do i..Support The Blasphemous Materials.. Freedom Of Speech… Is Just An Excuse Here To Ridicule Muslims… but ..You Cant Give Someone Death Threats..(Given To Comedy Central Producers)
And Not Expect Them To Retaliate.. Why Are Other muslim Nations Silent Cause They have Common Sense..Unlike Us Paki,s Sadly… Ask Yourselves What Channel Banned Bollywood When they Were using Our Gods Name In Their songs Not A Single One.. People just Play on Their Hatred… Its A Stupid Decision To Ban Facebook… Youtube And Wikipedia… people should Have Enough Sense To Boycott Such things… What Muslim Would Even Open the Page With the Blasphmous Material.. once again how Stupid Can We Get… and Muslim Power..u Gotta Be Kidding Me… We Are Not Even United How can u Estabilish Muslim Power.. We Are Miles Behind Europe And The US.. Even Behind African Countries Such As Nigeria…In Pakistan We Dont Have The Basic Necessities Of life… Sure you Can Dream Of Muslim Powers in your Sleep…. Wake Up People God Wants Spiritual truth Not Fake Religious mindsRecommend
