Facebook bows down

I managed to access these pages before they shut Facebook down. I’m all for tolerance but doesn’t this violate their own code? You be the judge.

So they waited till the hate material was actually posted on the page and then they act .. Lets see what they do , as far as our government is concerned NTC just blocked Twitter for an hour or so, I just hope this craziness ends .Recommend

WHAT??
just censoring?

I believe Facebook has failed to understand the objective of the boycott!

It was for them to TAKE DOWN inappropriate content from their website NOT censor it in PAKISTAN!Recommend

i think Facebook should remove this page from its website n duly apologize from all the Muslims n promise not to repeat such kind of shameful act again,moreover bring this cartoonist to justice.Recommend

I would habe listened to LHC if it had taken an action on the page referring to Hazrat Umer, Hazrat Usman and Hazrat Abu Bakar as ‘three idiots’. And Why does it not take all pornographic sites down too?
Are these Islamic?
The bans only remind me of ‘ban on loud speaker’ in msjids, ban on ‘stage dancing’ ‘ban on cinema’. Its just like closing your eyes and leaving the problem there. Am not a face book user but am against anything that cleans the carpet and hides the dirt underneath. Are they gonna ban web access one day? It should have been tackled ONCE FOR ALL in a some way.Recommend

Poor Ahmed. I feel sorry for u. I was always proud to be a Muslim and a Pakistani. Even when Faisal Shehzad did his horrible act. I am sorry for u. It’s sad that this act by the LHC made u proud.it’s a stupid act. Facebook should not be banned. Youtube’s ban should be lifted too.Recommend

LHC should ban LHC for its sheer stupidityRecommend

The Banning of such websites is clearly a violation of our fundamental rights which are guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. Just because someone posts objectionable material about Islam, does not mean that everyone’s freedom to choose what to view on the internet should be curtailed. It is up to us to make the necessary “educated” choices to differentiate between what we can and should view and what we shouldnt. We might as well be living in a Police state and now we know how ppl living in the Arab countries feel. Obviously, those who are propagating the ban on such websites dont possess the necessary amount of education or intelligence to even think about making such a choice. And as a lawyer, I believe that petitioning the Lahore High Court for such an uneducated and un-enlightened relief/goal shows what we truly are up against today in Pakistan – Ignorance, and the use of Islam to further one’s own individual and personal beliefs upon others. The dark ages are truly upon us…may the necessary authorities act with moderation and temperance in the days and times to come…Recommend

well i must say that the nation who doesnt even know what happened, all they know is that there is something going on they are so innocent or may be uninformed they would just say, its good that the ban is here, theis what they would say, but just becausse i have been following this thing since where it begun i would say this is the stupidest thing ever to ban facebook.Recommend

we should support the block … i mean even countries like china has it blocked ….. i was very angered when i read this article … please … read it … it just might make u think…
