Humayun Saif | 14 years ago | Reply Why not banning internet, Instead of banning one or two sites every month? This is recklessness of LHC, they should be path to leading people safely into 21st Century! Our nation is doomed for isolation, the major isolation is coming!!

Sohail | 14 years ago | Reply Seem Govt would likes to promote porn industry in Pakistan because when all the productive, informative and knowledge based website blocked then the internet surfer in pakistan will have no choice but to signin to some good porn.. awesome good thought :D

Kamran | 14 years ago | Reply Well, I think d very first and the only good thing which comes from this government or this judiciary. Above all, if we cant do anything else 2 protest against d evil minds, we should @least quit facebook etc. And if our govt believes there are few other sites as well, and there surely are, then we should support the ban so they could realize that Muslims (esp. Pakistanis) love their Prophet(PBUH).

john Donne | 14 years ago | Reply Amazing these comments except for few. Exhibits the intellectual level of commentators-the Judges Superior, like Mothers Superior of the Catholic Church-who are telling us that the judges have already banned the Sites! All they have is a smattering ability of the language of aliens, and are proud of it. Did people live in Stone age before internet happened? Was there no civilization before the internet. Isn't it great that you hold the honorable 'degree' of Paki awarded to you by your patrons?

Ishi khan | 14 years ago | Reply why Govt of Pakistan not completely banning All porn and sex websites which is very bad, fatal and unnecessary for our new generation. just like Saudi Arabia did and doing their best to stop these kind of website. Hello PTA stop sexuality websites also. these are not important to ban but FULL ban on pornography is too much important. think about it

Bangash | 14 years ago | Reply @Sajid Why don't you set an example and create a PakGoogle or HalalGoogle and show us how its done ?

farooq | 14 years ago | Reply Mohammad Abbasi you cracked me up man !! Haha !! Well, I guess these sites are working fine, so calm down people. As for creating a whole new ‘muslim friendly’ web, whose idea was it again? Haha !!!

Faree | 14 years ago | Reply i Doooo agree with sajid above..i think people all above doesnt beleive in themselves...might a lot of them are not Pakistanis..

Faree | 14 years ago | Reply i think the filter should be more delicate rather than blocking the entire stuff.

sajid | 14 years ago | Reply I think that it every good step to block these sites because with these steps we can prove that we are an independent nation and can do many things without help of west.don't comment on banning these site we to create our own site like Google, Msn, yahoo, Hotmail etc. and i think that we can do this to prove that we can do our own work. so brother think not in a circle think vast it also a good opportunity for the bright youth of Pakistan. Always think in positive manner so that each and ever think a benefits now its upon us how to get benefit out of this.

Rafia Maniar | 14 years ago | Reply Well whats the point on banning the websites point is when u block all the inports from these counties countires.by blocking these useful websites they will make the country more backwards thats it will fell like we r in stonage lol

Areeba | 14 years ago | Reply Ok people get ready!!! Again 4 a Backward Pakistan And Backward new generation!!! God bless our conservative people and government!!!

Bilal Akhtar | 14 years ago | Reply Nothing but stupidity!

Tahir Saifuddin | 14 years ago | Reply I agree with the idea that Pakistani authorities want to extort money from 150 million internet users and they are looking for some method for this. And they have all joined hands for this unholy task. Protests against Facebook were fake and arranged by local aministrations.Ministries and courts are partners.

Shahid Yousuf | 14 years ago | Reply Apparently the government and the judiciary are arch rivals. But we now witness that LHC has banned websites and the government is promptly implementing it. This means they are all together when it comes to enslaving the citizens. Why didn't the government write letter to Swiss Court on Supreme Court's orders with the same obedience?

mehar | 14 years ago | Reply We need to filter content on internet.Sadly even if PTA does end up blocking these sites, tell me would these contents really disappear. People who are owners of this site, would they just stop or die. would they stop saying such things. The answer is big fat NO.Just because you will close your eyes,doesnt mean it is not there. Frankly speaking more the half of the population using internet dont have time/ or are even stupid enough to search for such contents.I believe either the petitioner thinks that we are that dumb or there is some incriminating content online of his /or people he is associated with that he wants no one to see.

Nighat Khan | 14 years ago | Reply How many other Muslim countries are doing such stupid things? Look at us. The most corrupt and worst law breakers in the world tring to impersonate as great Muslims.

nighat khan | 14 years ago | Reply How many other Muslin countries are doing such stupid things that we do? Look at us, the most senseless and corrupt people in the world trying to impose as best Muslims. This is all fake fake fake.

Ahmer Ali | 14 years ago | Reply Assalam-o-Allaikum Warahmatullah.Banning the websites is not the solution of this problem but the only solution of this problem is to be reunited against the western evil powers for Islam and the muslims all over the world and social and economic boycott must be declared from all the muslim countries with the western countries and nations so that we could rise our true Islamic image once again.Some muslim countries don't ban the websites which publish sacreligious contents and some ban and from this disunity western countries take the full advantage.Now the time has come to take solid stand against such these things of anti-islam and anti-muslims all over the world.

Mohammed Abbasi | 14 years ago | Reply @Abdul Azeez, books are haraam because the words they have people can accidently mix them up and become non-muslims.... i think we all should destroy everything and just carry a lota in one hand and an ak47 in another and go and conquer the universe.... mullahs in space! alternatively give the rest of us a break - we are muslims that worship allah and not mullahs

Harris | 14 years ago | Reply Awesome, Mr. Justice... you are simply awesome. What in the world are they doing here? Rapists roam around freely. Those selling the nation are having fun. Thieves are living their lives at peace here. But the only thing left is banning some basic, very basic things in life that you cannot live without. Whoever this justice guy is, he obviously doesn't deserve the position he's serving. Mr. Justice, sire.. nobody does anything constructive about dealing with these issues (including you, of course). Educate people about it; don't keep them in the dark. You are supposed to teach, not misguide people. What the heck!! I am wasting my time talking about our System. Blasphemy is unacceptable, but this isn't how you rectify the situation.

baconsandwich | 14 years ago | Reply that's what you get for living in a backwards country run by a backwards religion.

Ammad | 14 years ago | Reply I think banning faceboook at that time was right as we wanted to show our protest, but i think it is the responsibility of Muslims not to visit those pages which have something like it. If you ban all these what would remain on internet, Pakistanis won't have access to big information sources. That petitioner must not be a user of internet.

izzy | 14 years ago | Reply Wait! How will people in the tech support work.?????

N Gul | 14 years ago | Reply @Abdul Azeez dude, good morning! heres a head start for you, books are difficult to access and the Internet is the fastest way to access any information or any book. And it's up to the person how he uses or misuses it. no wonder you've never Googled anything your entire life.

Shafi M | 14 years ago | Reply ...I think this is an ignorant decision pakistan Judiciary i think is supposed to know the importance of these sites and I am damm sure and I bet on that these Stupid Judges don't even know how start a pc and if some know then they don't know what is the internet, such people as our law holders are ashamed on a Nation.......I think we will be requiring a pigeon to send our messages as one of the user mentioned here.....

Aamir Ali | 14 years ago | Reply Wonderful. Pakistanis are idiot nation and do not deserve Internet. I hope LHC not only bans Internet but also orders all computers to be destroyed in Pakistan, as computers are used to create all this blasphemy and pornography and other objectionable material.

N Gul | 14 years ago | Reply Congratulations! And have fun! How many of you were out there protesting for the restoration of the judiciary? Now go play poker with them! As for our miserable government, most of us don't even bother to go and cast our vote and we end up with a hopeless government and a good-for-nothing President. Considering all this, it is OUR fault and our fault only, and we'll have to bear the consequences!

Abdul Azeez | 14 years ago | Reply I am shocked at the comments of the readers. Why we dont use thr books to learn instead of these blasphemous search engines. They corrupt the young minds of our people and should be banned. Our judges are not uneducated.

Sajid | 14 years ago | Reply (Sigh) well what am i doing over here? i should prepare myself for living in a stone age..

Mohammed Abbasi | 14 years ago | Reply What is it with Pakistan? The world is moving forward and people in every nation are debating and challenging issues - name one Muslim nation that is basing its future on the say so of a couple of jahil mullahs? Pakistanis must not stand for this rubbish - its time it banned Mullahs instead! facebook.com/britpak

Usman Jillani | 14 years ago | Reply The decision must be taken on the whole criminal activities, not only to the above stated websites...

Amer Abbas | 14 years ago | Reply Shame on LHC for taking us to stone age again. Wow what a start to enter in 21st century........

Mad | 14 years ago | Reply Who made them the protectors of religion? Did they ever look inside themselves and see for themselves what they really were? Anyone can come and say,"Hey! I hate google sth against religion. go block it!" I reserve my right to protest against any decision disconnecting me from the world. I just cannot understand why was the petition even allowed to be filed?

Sibghat | 14 years ago | Reply In above post I meant "precedents" which is misspelled in the third last line

Sibghat | 14 years ago | Reply We got a one way ticket of time machine (free courts) to go to the stone age. Come to Pakistan and join us. They are going to ban search engines. What does 'hotmail' do, beyond my understanding. What is the thinking process of our most honourable, most learned and Free Judges; is also above my poor intellect. What a pity, how ignorant I am. Am I alone, who does not understand this phenomena? or There are some others too. How They think, do they use brain, or use mere books and presidents? We read, law is common sense, if this is common sense; then what is nonsense?

Aisha | 14 years ago | Reply I don't think they have any power except banning websites.. Courts others order have not been implemented .. what a shame .. people are not getting justice after fighting cases for over a decade . i think judiciary needs to work on other important issues rather than useless website bans.

Adeel | geotauaisay.com | 14 years ago | Reply Ban includes 9 websites, which are considered as backbone of internet, blocking them will mean a total internet blackout in the country. see report here

Nadeem Khan | 14 years ago | Reply Internet is the voice of a common man.it is the medium to express ones views very easilly and without any editing by some otrher minds.to ban the internet is equal to ban the voice of common men.

Mubasher | 14 years ago | Reply It is said that computer is the greatest invention of not only this century but of all centuries. And before the invention of computer people around the world were living in the stone age!!!!! Its not about money or profits rather its about making people feel that they cannot live with the use of internet. Let me tell you a very interesting thing there more people in the Pakistan who uses computer and the internet that in the UK!!!!

Bilal Zaidi | 14 years ago | Reply Haha sure. They can go ahead and block it. We might as well go and live in the Stone Age. Doesn't the Pakistan government GET IT? Why are they so DAMN thick!? It doesn't make a DIFFERENCE to the International World whether or not Pakistan is a part of all this. They don't WANT us. There will be a difference in their sales, but to WHAT extent? 1%? 2 or maximum 3%! Nothing more. And after a while, with their ever expanding businesses, they'll get used to it! A time will come when the outside world blocks Pakistan out, just like Iran, and the Pakistani Nation, cannot withstand such embargoes. We need to act up on a VOLUNTARY and PERSONAL level if we want ANYTHING right out of this. God Bless Pakistan.

Mubasher | 14 years ago | Reply These guys are using these and other sites against Islam and its the best way to 'negotiate' with them. All of you guys just upload something on the internet about the Christianity, their democracy, their way of living, their Queens and Kings. Your sites will be banned in their countries.TRY IT!!!!!!!!

Faseeha Arjumand | 14 years ago | Reply We should all remember that the internet access is purely at the discretion of the user. Please do not 'click' if you are offended by the content of the sites to be banned. What about the crimes committed in the name of religion in Pakistan? With single click you can see religion being made fun of by all and sundry!

SadafFayyaz | 14 years ago | Reply After so many comments, I am speechless... Stone age times...So lets get ready for animal hunt with spears,, cook food with stone...what is "internet" excuse me? I am a stone age person....dont know anything about it.

Kashan | 14 years ago | Reply I appreciates the decision taken by the court & the voice raise by a Pakistani. Do not be dependent on your country's enemies' products or technology so much.Make your self Independent.

moazzam | 14 years ago | Reply what these mullhas think that by banning these sites,,that version of Quran will automatically be coorected? No. these sites offer a great opportunity for the promotion of Islam. Why our mullahas are ignoring there benefits?

Muhammed Ali Mustafa | 14 years ago | Reply Reality behind the ban reality is some thing else they dont wan ban for the sake of Islam they want ban for the sake of money , social media brands like google , msn , bing , facebook and twitter are source of immense income and efforts are being made by such people which also includes Jamat e Islami and Islami Jamiat talba to introduce islambook.com , youthbuk.com ,pakistanbook etc so the intentions behind the ban is just lust for the money .. if they are very much Muslims and Islamic then they must ban pornographic sites and forums in which many of them are being operated from Pakistan itself

Shahid Raza | 14 years ago | Reply The fundamentalists want Pakistan to go back to stone age with the aid of judiciary so be it. The ground reality is that we do not exist as a nation even now.Thanks to so called democracy. Power politics is the name of the game at the expense of power sharing at least for the two major parties. Thanks to charter of democracy. Qaid-e-Azam has been forgotten in the milieu of achieving false prestige. Thanks to propaganda in print and electronic media. PAKISTAN IS LOST LONG LIVE PAKISTAN THANKS TO OUR SHAME LESS PURSUITS

Hasan | 14 years ago | Reply LHC should stop wasting time on these things , wht i think is we need to fix things those are much more imp then bannin internet this will be stupidity of highest order

Helal Khan | 14 years ago | Reply It's high time Pakistann gets Halalgle, Halaltube bla bla :D :p

Furki | 14 years ago | Reply Blasphemous websites are also blocked in Saudi Arabia. This should be done in Pakistan too but instead they are blocking search engines. There are thousands of websites that contain blasphemous contents, they can get a list of these websites from Saudis and block them but they never do that, do they?

sunny | 14 years ago | Reply Are juduge making justice by such decisions? I am against the caricature. we must understand this is reverse gear. God sake we want wise justice than to popular justice.

Abdul Quddus | 14 years ago | Reply LHC should punish this petitioner because he is seeking ban for sources of knwledge while our Holy Prophet ordered us to seek knowledge at all costs even if we have to go to China, which was Buddhist at that time.

Saifullah | 14 years ago | Reply wow !!! its astonishing ... but i think we should move to other such sites !!! there are many !

noor | 14 years ago | Reply now kindly give us the way to shot ourselves, instead of finding ways to tackle such criminal acts the authorities are quitting from the important need of today. you people should be ashamed of your strategies

Fawwad Shafi | 14 years ago | Reply Stupid decision! Seems like the LHC has nothing better to do. Focus on providing justice to the poor masses!

Sadia Ali | 14 years ago | Reply Crazy. We are the laughing stock of the world. These judges should focus on providing justice to the masses rather than banning stuff. Another stupid decision!

Amna Khan | 14 years ago | Reply I think we r not the only muslim country in de whole world then why arnt other muslim countries taking any action because they are not emotional fools like us what difference does it make what other are saying ot doing with our religion WE know its not true simple IGNORE! that is what our prophet did he didnt ban everything like this or started a massacre HUH what the hell is wrong with pakistani government and people GET A LIFE

Ali | 14 years ago | Reply awesome decision by lhc

S. T. Khan | 14 years ago | Reply And how about filing a petition against this guy for paying damages to hundreds of thousands of people for endangering their livelihoods? When have THEY done anything blasphemous? They merely used Facebook to advertise their business, they only used Email to communicate with customers, they only wrote content online to earn a better living. What is their fault? What is the fault of businesses that have a bigger online than physical presence? Who will pay for ruining their business? Who will pay for unpaid salaries? SUE THE JUDGE, SUE THE PETITIONER. If they're so passionate about their ideas, so are we.

Fareed Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply Ban them and to make sure the ban stays and is imposed insert the 19th 'constitutional amendment'. Further, the president should issue an ordinance making it illegal to even discuss internet. Internet police should also be available to impound all personal computers. A fringe few Ulema should have computers under license to follow whats going on in cyberspace.

S. T. Khan | 14 years ago | Reply Musharraf please come back and boot these idiots out!! "Democracy" in Pakistan means power going back into the hands of those who have been raping and plundering this country for the past two centuries. These "democratic" rulers are the same people who have descended from the likes of Bahadur Shah Zafar and his fellow mughals and their cronies. The army only arrived on the scene in 1956. And that too due to the conditions created by our own civilin rulers. It was bound to happen because the soldiers were better educated, better organized and worked for the common good of their institution. The civilian rulers? Personal wealth. They are the ones who have been plundering the country from well before 1956. How were the British able to colonize an area as vast and rich as India? The Mughals eventually got busy funding ostentatious personal lifestyles through public funds. The Brits let them have that as long as rule belonged to the British Empire. The rulers turned a blind eye as the British Empire quietly took over this vast territory. Our current "democratic" rulers are descendants of those very jagirdars, thakurs, nawabs and sardars who sold out to the colonizers. This chain must be cut. It will be difficult and bloody, but it will have to be cut. We cannot have democracy if we don't have institutions that work for the common-sensical good of the people. Full stop. Food. Security of life and property. Healthcare. Not being shot on the street for your belongings. Not having your place of worship burnt down. Not losing your property because somebody was powerful enough to modify state records. And how does any ruler prevent this chain from being cut? By stopping people from acting as one and pouring out on the streets. How do you act as one? By communicating with others in your country. And how do you bring down communication to a crawling halt so that reports of official misdeeds don't flow out amongst the masses? Ban Facebook, ban Youtube, ban Yahoo!, ban Google, ban Hotmail.. and the reason? Say to your suffering, exploited and under-educated subjects whose only solace is religion: YOUR RELIGION IS UNDER THREAT!! After the ban of course, access only remains with those wealthy few who rule us and who can afford it. These judges are setting a very dangerous precedent against all common sense. I say file a petition against this very judge. File a counter petition against men like the one who filed the recent petition. Step out on to the streets and protest. We have the right to protest. We have the right to file cases against such people too. If we keep sleeping, it will not be the fault of the man who filed this recent petition or the judge who rules in favour of it. It will be our fault because we kept sleeping. We kept sleeping while the British were busy buying off our rulers. We kept sleeping thinking God will help us while the Hindus got off their asses and started educating themselves with the new knowledge that the British brought. TIME TO WAKE UP!! Or nature has its ways..sleeping people atrophy and die out on their own. We'll just become a bunch of dying races by emigration and assimilation...our identity will die out. We are a country kept together by scotch tape and glue. How long will it stay together?

humayun | 14 years ago | Reply If the judiciary knew a bit about the Internet they would filter offensive content instead of outrightly banning the websites and search engines! This shows their sheer stupidity and their illiteracy.

Rehan Ali Khan | 14 years ago | Reply In the present circumstance such impulsive descions can be expected only from the honorable judiciary The existing judges are nothing but a bunch of half-literate officails under the sham leadership of the present CJ, who do not have a basic idea about the use of internet services. After the disgusting Lawyers Movement, these judges just want to create nuisence for themselves by meddling and poking their nose in the non-issues instead of providing justice to the poor and common people. The have just recently got the trick how to blackmail anyone in the name of so called 'justice'. We badly miss Musharraf regime when there pervailed sense, proportion and judgment. This so called 'Azad Adlia' would ultimately take the country back to stone-age.

Bilal Qureshi | 14 years ago | Reply someone explain to me how some guy from bahawalpur can walk into a courtroom on a monday morning and get the entire online universe banned by lunchtime while millions languish in jails and on handouts for years waiting for true justice for real problems?? do we even have a judicial process or does the judge just go into his chambers and flips a coin? Heads= Ban! Tails= Adjourned!

Asad | 14 years ago | Reply Well this will be a great stuff if judiciary takes it. I bet facebook will never think of promoting any such event again.. They have lost millions of users by this, resulting some serious financial damage. So being a Pakistani and a Muslim, we should back our courts to do the needful under such situations..

Iqra S | 14 years ago | Reply This is just hilarious. The amount of crap that goes on in this country is fine and good but THE CONTENT of these websites MUST be banned. Good to know LHC has their priorities in order.

Dani | 14 years ago | Reply LHC has finally lost it! Why dont they Ban the whole of internet in the country. Yahoo ans Hotmail are two very important website's which are used thousands of people in the country how can you ban those sites?

Saniha | 14 years ago | Reply when it comes to following islam, Pakistanis are the ones who are actually spoling its name all over the world by their actions. other factors which need more immediate action of the LHC are being ignored and all they can think of is banning these websites. first us pakistanis should follow the teachings of the Quran properly and then be concerned about all these things.. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Kaleem | 14 years ago | Reply Here's to hoping that the official from the Ministry of Information can convince the judge that our blue coat web-filtering appliances can block specific content without blocking entire websites. They have already made a mess with the whole facebook site wide ban which could have been handled far efficiently with content filtering.

Bilal | 14 years ago | Reply Insane!

Moiz Ahmed from Pakistan | 14 years ago | Reply I read some 10 to 20 of your uninformed and shameful comments; it spiked my blood pressure for a while. Has the details been made public? Details like how did Google / MSN / Yahoo are contributing in spreading blasphemous material? Thats one we should wait for before we start bashing judiciary? A block means block of massive traffic, which is the real loss one suffers. Block is a protest, not stone age; protest that they have hurt the people's feelings. I am not too sure about feelings of people (who have posted anit-judiciary comments) for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH); but mine are very strong. Like many others, I would voice for Prophet Muhammad if some one tries to make fun of him. Search engines has a term called "sponsored search results"; I wonder if they listed blasphemous material under sponsored search results. Above all, no one should ever post sacrilegious material on internet anyway. We, struggled a lot of independence of judiciary and stand by it till the end. And I feel every Pakistani should; if they are Pakistani.

Instead of taking a stand on a govt. level and engaging owners of such inflammatory content in dialogue, we are expected to behave like Ostriches! If the LHC and the 'concerned' petitioner are so concerned about the moral welfare and islamic spirit in Pakistan, they should begin by blocking access to all the pornographic sites. blocking off access to mails and social websites only makes life difficult for people: - with family abroad; - who work from home and communicate with employers through email.

Shayan Afzal Khan | 14 years ago | Reply An even better suggestion - why doesn't the esteemed judge of the LHC ban the internet, and while he is at it, also ban television, radio, books, and newspapers as well. While he is at it, he must also make sure that he bans Pakistanis from travelling abroad, lest they be exposed to sacreligious ideas. Oh, and lest he forget, he must also ban Pakistanis from thinking, too, lest we (by mistake) think blasphemous thoughts. Even better, so that we never, ever have the possibility of being exposed in any way to anything irreligious or blasphemous, he might as well order NAB, and every other government agency to put all Pakistanis to death. That is really to the only safe way to ensure that we, as a nation, never ever blaspheme or be exposed to blasphemy.

umer khan | 14 years ago | Reply i want to suggest that please ban all the sites starting with www and ends with .com, .org, .pk, .net, .uk etc. its better option i think.lolz.

Ahmad Rashid Ahmad | 14 years ago | Reply They should block the offensive material...thats better way of doing it

Madiha Nawaz | 14 years ago | Reply I think that Pakistan and esp Pakistani Muslims are already facing lots of problems all over the world. Each of us Pakistani is an ambassader of our country abroad and when/if these websites are banned, what reason will we give for not having access to any information and source of communication, that we do not have ways to get them anymore??? We all love Islam and our Holy Prophet and we need these sources to show the true picture and image of Islam, by not shutting them out altogether.

umair | 14 years ago | Reply This citizen who filed this case probably never used the internet. He is a crazy bigot.

Nabeel | 14 years ago | Reply wow...seems that we are going back in the stone age,,,for God sake open your eyes...If you are really concerned about these things then do fight on this...even on the same websites...convey your rite message to every one...this is just like closing your eyes like a pigeon as no one will see you...LHC is going to do a ridiculous act...as honorable judges even don;t know the importance of these websites...it would be better for them to block the internet.They would be tention free from this...what a shame..

Salma Ahmad | 14 years ago | Reply It's just pathetic! It seems that high courts have no better cases to take care of. Why are Pakistanis so immature and intolerant? There are people who are going to say and post blasphemous stuff online...it is not rational to just ban all such websites and pretend that nothing happened.

Schazad | 14 years ago | Reply This is absolutely ridiculous. Why these stupid judges are doing the work of Taliban? I mean this is getting on my nerves already now and I m going crazy.....

Sara Kazi | 14 years ago | Reply why are some people such IDIOTS?!!!

Ahmad Saad | 14 years ago | Reply While we are at it, why not ban the libraries as well. I am sure some of them contains reference to blasphemous content !!

Danish | 14 years ago | Reply hahahahahahamoronaistanhahahahahahahaahah

muneeb | 14 years ago | Reply i was never in favour of judges movement... Aur Karao AZAD adliya ko.... for instance in the F9 Park isb case a senior judge said that mcdonalds shud be closed down bcz common man cannot afford that ..now dont i ask him that in which car he came? And how many cars and guards covered him on his movement?and how many children were late from their schools because of his movement?...I KNOW IT MAY SOUND IRRELEVANT BUT....UNFORTUNATELY the lawyers/judges are also expressing their independence outside morals...i hear often that a policeman a constable was thrashed by them...thats not a way to act upon a crime...the are all a bunch of psychopaths...

Harris | 14 years ago | Reply porn sites would be accessible...

Gul wardag | 14 years ago | Reply Calm down guys,it seems from your comments like a thunder storm is being faced. Dears its not important as we think, this is the only problems with us that we always depend on others. they've banned few websites, i will suggest to ban all those products which generate any revenue for jews and europeans. We have got talent in IT and all sectors, why not utilize our own talent. we can design better than them. Be united!!!

Bijjar | 14 years ago | Reply Pakistan Should ban internet once for all instead of new drama from time to time. Instead of banning these search engines the govt should arrest the person who searched anti Islamic content and then filed a case in high court because he is real culprit who was viewing and enjoying such content.

Hunain Ali | 14 years ago | Reply All in all, I want to send a message to LHC and PTA, IF anyone can pass it through do please :D. "Dear LHC, With all due respect, You can go make fudge yourself :D.Ban whatever you want to :)..I want to tell you, YOU cannot STOP me/us :D. You couldn't stop us from using Facebook/Youtube, Now Try your best stopping us this time :)"

Asma | 14 years ago | Reply This is ridiculous! What on earth will they achieve by banning search engines?! Are they trying to increase the level of ignorance in this country? And 90% people have email accounts on Yahoo and MSN. Are we supposed to go back to the dark ages? Use pigeons?

khizer | 14 years ago | Reply well to be honest i am not surprised by this news. i mean what can u expect from people who have 2.no fake degrees and making decisions. instead of going ahead and looking for opportunities out of technologies, we are going back to stone age...bravo bravo..

Sumbul A | 14 years ago | Reply jeez..show them the light some one...ANYONE.

Irfan Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply This show what are the IQ level of our judges. They do not even understand what are search engines and what are emails....They already have spread so much confusion and with this pace in near future they will ban all the internet access to this country...

Adil | 14 years ago | Reply this is ridiculous! dont these ppl understand what search engines and email is? and Amazon!? WTH! has that got to do with anything? just dont know what to say. banning search engines, and a shopping WEBSITE!

Shoaib | 14 years ago | Reply Search engines cannot be held responsible for blasphemous material. I feel sorry for petitioner as he/she has no knowledge of what search engines are. I believe we should have censored internet access as we live in ISLAMIC republic of Pakistan. Its example can be found in Saudi Arabia and many other Muslim countries.I feel sorry for PEMRA and all previous governmental officials who take no action against uncensored internet access.

Faryal Tahir | 14 years ago | Reply Am sure its a publicity stunt of that Bahawalpuri and LHC fell for it.

ali | 14 years ago | Reply LHC banned these site but alas!!! v hav free access to PORNOGRAPHIC WEBSITES in ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN.........all r do nnumber judges they hav ni moral values....

SadafFayyaz | 14 years ago | Reply Nonsense

Salman Malik | 14 years ago | Reply In other news, Pakistan takes another step backward towards stone age by banning the use of paper and ink since there is a lot of blasphemous material published by the help of these mediums and LHC fears that they can be widely used in the future as well!! Height of intolerance I must say! Bunch of idiots running our judiciary and government!!

Bilal | 14 years ago | Reply my Dears...let the verdict come first..why the in this world you guys have started before the verdict...

OneSecond | 14 years ago | Reply Petitions and writs like these are most often (all over the world) filed by people who are quite "passionate" (read fanatic and obsessive) about their ideas. The judge would probably be happy to hear the counter-arguments against banning these websites that include a number of insults and a good expose of the limited knowledge of the petitioner for making such an unreasonable request. Someone from among our so many legal experts should go to court and file a counter-petition, get a stay/injunction, or have this case dismissed and have the court issue an order that in the future, cases to ban search engines and email services will not even be entered on the docket.

Speechless | 14 years ago | Reply OMG - do they even understand that Google, Yahoo, and Bing are search engines? Hotmail is an email service? COMPUTERS and INTERNET are operated by human beings and only show what the human beings put out there. For GOD'S SAKE, someone from the educated segment of our society needs to file a counter-petition to give the judiciary SOME arguments against the stupid, insane people who are taking advantage of the judicial system to flex their muscles against the so called blasphemous sites. I cannot believe these people are so illiterate and stupid that they do not understand how Google, Bing, and Yahoo work. Now we have to first stop the ban and then educate these molvis about the internet!!!!

mudassar | 14 years ago | Reply i want please educate the our judgest provider tell them these site are not providing any material regarding this type .these site are search enginees . pray for the paksitani people who are going into the dark age .A Allah may kindly educate our people and judgest provider.

John Marston | 14 years ago | Reply Obviously the guy who filed the petition had nothing better to do than search for blasphemous caricatures on the internet! I've never come across any blasphemous content on either of the search engines mentioned cuz i don't go around randomly searching for it! The petitioner should be sued for attempting to misrepresenting information!

Yasser | 14 years ago | Reply lol - on twitter people were speaking like that(including me) it has already been ordered to ban, are we becoming expertise in making mountain of mole hill :-) let us wait for 28 June instead of jumping on conclusions :-)

Ali | 14 years ago | Reply @Sharjeel Jawaid: Actually we are heading towards the state that existed in the west at the time of the Inquisition around 1300AD. We seem to be following the path that christianity followed around 1500 years after Christ. History is repeating it self and we just haven't learnt anything from it.

Ali | 14 years ago | Reply A few of the above commentators seem to be suggesting that the blasphemous websites should be banned and not the search engines. I have one question that has been bugging me ever since the Facebook ban: How does banning a blasphemous website in a muslim country have any effect? We the Muslims already believe in one God and Muhammad as his prophet and as a result of the existence of these websites are not becoming apostates. Nor are we actually accepting any of the lies presented in these websites as we are not their target audience. Their target audience is in countries where these websites are freely accessible and even in those countries I have not heard of muslims living there leaving the fold of Islam as a result of these sites. So what is the advantage of banning them. If we want to do something, we should setup websites to counter the lies and show the world the truth. This ostrich like approach has been the cause of our downfall.

Khurram | 14 years ago | Reply @Asim Jalal: I agree with you as media is spreading confusing, dismay, and misunderstanding. And We can observe there are people in us spreading rumors. @Amer: yes we cannot banned how someone thinks but we should control what we receive. because wars are won at media first than in war zone if needed. This age is media perception and mind control. We should not be passive but active.

Salman Latif | 14 years ago | Reply Welcome to stonge age, fellas! Apparently, Pakistan is perfectly suited for an existence of 1400 years ago. It's a sad fact that we have to live through the modern day with such 'satanic' diversions from 'the true path.' Alas! Sigh!

Pakistani Aloo | 14 years ago | Reply Curse the judges. But curse the nut a thousand times more who filed the petition in the first place, thinking that in his shareef little world he is doing the right thing. Someone please find out the name of that guy. Sixty three years of not spending on education and only imparting deeni 'education' is finally bearing fruit.

Sharjeel Jawaid | 14 years ago | Reply Where are we heading to? The Khymer Rouge!

waqar | 14 years ago | Reply Yahoo, Google and Bing are just search engines they should not be banned. If they should be then all those people/users should also be banned who try to search such material on search engines

Hassan | 14 years ago | Reply Someone should buy these judges a computer and a free internet connection!

anon | 14 years ago | Reply hey guys is there a site, email or something where we can tell lhc what we want protest or something like that

aldg | 14 years ago | Reply being completely outraged and rather embarrassed by this whole situation a few of us activists are considering filing a petition before the Sindh High Court if anyone is interested please email us at antilockdowngrouppk@gmail.com

Arslan | 14 years ago | Reply just speech less !!!

Amer | 14 years ago | Reply Can you ban what someone else is thinking? That thinking may manifest as content on a website or literature or TV program or whatever -- those can be banned. But does that remove mindsets?

Asim Jalal | 14 years ago | Reply I think we should not give any value to such news. the purpose of such news was to create further bad images about pakistan. Pakistan has not banned these website and no such thing is going to happen. That is just a petition. Anyone can file such petition even in UK or USA. what matters is a dicision and government orders. Pakistan has already unblocked the facebook - I am sure that was a mistake. Filing a petition is different from a Govt order. And we should be abstaining from defaming our country by not propagating such stupid material.

Khurram | 14 years ago | Reply wake-up guys, banning websites for mocking Islam and our Prophet is a good thing. This tells you make such great websites yourself which are earning billions of dollars on our self respect. But stop a minute.... who put dump guys on the Pakistan Internet Exchange. Please just filter out bad-contents and some time not-so-important websites; like IslamExposed and InTheNameofAllah, can be totally banned. Yah Google should not be banned entirely. Access list is not a solution but content filtering such as done in Iran and China.

Adnan | 14 years ago | Reply Wrong islamic information over the internet is a serious concern, because it can mislead people. Now a days people don't search things in books they go to internet. Having said that, the amount of good, true and useful information on internet is in a much much bigger number compared to the wrong info. What we need is a organization or a team, which searches for these materials and corrects them or ban the materials, not the full websites. Search Engine is just like a library, you go there find books related to what you need, if there exists such books that is wrong, then hold access to the book, no need to close the library.

Jawad Rana | 14 years ago | Reply Is this the same court which has let dangerous terrorists off the hook lately? Now they are diverting their attention towards further radicalizing the society by banning internet and access to information. One can clearly see their inclination. I would go as far as saying the courts (like the media, the parliament, the army/ISI, the civil administration, provincial governments) have been infiltrated by Taliban/Alqaeda directly or through their sympathizers. Verdicts like this one and those absolving dangerous terrorists all point in that direction. Sad, sad, sad !!!!!

Talha B Masood | 14 years ago | Reply i must say its a courageous step by LHC but i want to ask judiciary that is it a wise step to stop such things to happen?? a month ago when facebook was banned in Pakistan people didn't stop using it..there are many proxy servers available over internet through which you can access banned sites. anyways i think this issue should be solved by religious scholars.

Shahrukh | 14 years ago | Reply That's shocking. I mean there is no reason why we should ban such websites. What a Crap!!! this petitioner is mad to be very honest.

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply Banning Search Engines will push Pakistan back to stone age. Websites containing blasphemous material should be banned, not the Search Engines through which people in the entire world do research work including Pakistan and learn a lot through the Search Engines. ***It will be the darkest day in the digital history of Pakistan.***

Mikael | 14 years ago | Reply This is a sad day for Pakistan and i do not think it is the last time such a preposterous order will come from the judges. I am actually at a loss of words as the judge passing this order is clearly unaware of the uses of the internet and search engines. Businesses, institutions, students and individuals from all walks of life need and use the world wide web, not to mention communicate using email. It is beyond me as to how these websites 'promote' blasphemous content. The judgment is supposedly to protect us, however it seems to be a direct infringement of the fundamental rights guaranteed to the people of Pakistan in the Constitution. It is not surprising that individuals will speculate on the motives of such a move, which are clearly anything but the protection of the sanctity of the religion, which the Petitioner knows nothing about. Pakistan's image is already frail in the international community, its economy is on the edge of destruction and the country as a whole is on the verge of a socio-political revolution (considering Pakistan is amongst the list of ten failed states on this planet). The judge passing the order has not only ignored the law and the principles embedded in our constitution, but completely ignored and set aside the effects on the people and the nation, not to mention the fact that any logical and pragmatic individual would have dismissed such a case as a waste of the court's time and the taxpayers money. There has always been lack of faith in the legislative faction, evidential from the beginning of Pakistan's creation, however, the little hope in the judicial division has now seized to exist. I shudder to imagine the future of this country as we are thrown back into the dark ages, and this is not because of the constant load shedding.

Anum Batool | 14 years ago | Reply Why didn't they mind telling the good reason behind this blocking? Ignorance has no end in our country!

Murtaza Ali Jafri | 14 years ago | Reply Knowledge is Power. The courts seem to think that denying the People of Pakistan Knowledge is a wise thing to do. Completely pathetic on their part and I can't help but be ashamed by the mockery of our courts.

imtiaz | 14 years ago | Reply champions of so called "AZAD ADLIA" should be very happy. on to the era of intellectualism. BTW WHAT ELSE DID YOU PEOPLE EXPECTED FROM SHRIEF COURT

SZ | 14 years ago | Reply I think its more of a political strategy by the government to ban mass media like internet, rather than just a petition by a citizen.

Ali Habib | 14 years ago | Reply I would have hoped that after the Facebook debacle, our courts would have had the sense to throw petitions like this out of court instead of taking them seriously and fast tracking us to the Stone Age. I do not pay taxes to have judges who clearly don't understand how the Internet works upholding ridiculous petitions like this. This obsession we have with blasphemy colours everything else we do, usually at the expense of common sense and basic freedoms.

Tayyab | 14 years ago | Reply wahhhhhhhh

Fahad Bashir | 14 years ago | Reply Well lets not over-react on this... Its just a petition not a decision yet... LHC will probably dismiss it... Just another piece of stupidity given coverage by sensationalist media...

Shahid | 14 years ago | Reply I think we have no right to interfere in the affairs of Punjab. If its institution chose to implement religious fanaticism (in Punjab), we can say nothing about that. However, the verdicts of Punjabi courts should not affect the lives of the peoples of Pakhtunkhwa, Sind and Baluchistan.

Zeeshan Chaudhry | 14 years ago | Reply Stupid people should not be allowed to breed...one day we are gonna be over populated with idiots its already happening look around and be afraid!

Hashim | 14 years ago | Reply what a bunch of idiots we have in the judiciary. No wonder our country is in a bad situation and close to being declared a banana republic. Lets ask those judges and lawyers what is google, yahoo, bing, hotmail, etc.? or how about simply ask them what the frak is the Internet? Im sure they have no clue about it and they wouldnt even know how to start a PC.

Not Surprised | 14 years ago | Reply I bet these judges can't even spell Google, let alone know what these websites are and their importance for finding the relevant info.. Welcome to the 12th century. Now where is that pigeon, i wanna send a message coz gmail, hotmail and yahoo mail are extinct here.

Ali Sarwan | 14 years ago | Reply Only websites containing blasphemous material should be banned, but not all those like yahoo, Google, Hotmail, YouTube and Bing.

Atif Ejaz | 14 years ago | Reply wow, ab maza aye ga, hum bhi pagal tum bhi pagal......

Rizwan | 14 years ago | Reply Pakistan's judiciary system has totally failed to give justice to this nation and they do not have anything to do fruitful for this nation, but doing childish actions like banning sites. why do not they join something like International Banning Organization rather than sitting in a court room.

Akhtar Rind | 14 years ago | Reply Welcome to the stone age of Pakistan.. An other stupidity at its best from judiciary.

Absar | 14 years ago | Reply On a laconic note: this is sheer absurdity

ArsalanKh | 14 years ago | Reply Welcome to bronze age. Seriously. These Judges are shame for Pakistan

qureshi | 14 years ago | Reply It would make a LOT more sense to Officially BAN the Products from such countries, for example, Israel, Denmark, etc. That would really hurt them. Blocking websites is practically useless and hurts us more than it hurts them.

maryum | 14 years ago | Reply Ufff what should i write... i have no words to pay tribute to all of them as i cant use slang words here:(

Danish | 14 years ago | Reply Let's sue the LHC for wasting public money and time. On the other hand we will miss the good jokes they make. ;-)

Tanzeel | 14 years ago | Reply Simply ridiculous. Even the earlier ban on facebook was ridiculous. The lawyers and judges first need to understand how "internet" works before going all out against it. They are simply making a joke out of our nation.

Sarosh Waiz | 14 years ago | Reply A person from Bahawalpur .. who probably would be using the internet for chatting and downloads only.. stands up and files a petition .. and then the LHC takes it seriously and the internet is about to get blocked! I mean .. for God's sake at least try and understand how the search engines and these publishers work! Speechless really! Welcome to the world of millatYOUTUBE, millatMSN, millatHOTMAIL, millatGOOGLE and millatYAHOO! That seems like the fate of internet for Pakistan... lolz

nauman | 14 years ago | Reply masha-Allah !

Ayesha | 14 years ago | Reply Why don't we just ban the internet all together and be done with all the bans? We definitely don't want to be part of the 21st century so let's just stop dilly-dallying and ban the internet all together.

Tanzeel | 14 years ago | Reply We need Internet savvy judiciary who should be well aware of basic terms like "Search engine", "online buying" and "electronic mail".

Mahvesh | 14 years ago | Reply Excellent!! If we can't see blasphemous material, obviously it doesn't exist! The definition of 'blasphemous material' and methods of controlling it is getting to be a highly ridiculous joke now. These people need to go out and actually do something constructive in the world.

Juko | 14 years ago | Reply you know the air that we breathe might also be coming from these countries...how about banning that as well?

Noor Muhammad | 14 years ago | Reply The real question is how long would these sites be blocked? Google, for instance, is a search engine and not a website, per se. So, people are most likely going to find anything they search for. Similar is the case with Bing/MSN and Yahoo. If found 'guilty' and penalized with a ban by the esteemed court, how long would be duration of the penalty? Forever?

Rashid | 14 years ago | Reply Fate of the 9 websites? NO, fate of poor Pakistanis who use these services will be decided on June 28.

Mehreen Ali Kasana | 14 years ago | Reply hello* even

Faryal Tahir | 14 years ago | Reply Why is LHC provoking unrest !! A lot of people use these sites for work, studies, research and networking. As if facebook's ban was not enough, it basically opened the Pandora box.

Mehreen Ali Kasana | 14 years ago | Reply I don't understand, really. Instead of negotiating with the profane authors or website-owners or simply ignoring the very existence of such domains, LHC decided to ban nine websites? And those nine websites contribute a lot to daily searching, assignments, projects, entertainment and the sort. I thought viewer-ship was left to the viewer's discretion, not an entire court of rash lawyers and judges. I guess Pakistan will have to say a big hell to the stone age now. So much for enlightenment.

Ali Hasan | 14 years ago | Reply Is it possible to sue the LHC for wastage of taxpayer resources in this utterly pointless and pathetic course of action?

Dan | 14 years ago | Reply Might as well start banning electricity, cars, cement and everything that wasn't here 1400 years ago. What's wrong with these people.. who are they to decide for the entire population...

Kryptic | 14 years ago | Reply WOW... Stone Age coming !!!

Hunain Ali | 14 years ago | Reply O my ! What the hell do they want..any Tom Dick & Harry will stand up and file a petition and they are gonna block that website !!! What the Fudge :o !!
