Pakistan's Internet censorship

Latest news, Seems like Facebook has shut down the 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day but more such groups are coming up

 

[Sam Dhanraj]

Yeah the only thing which can stop any bad thing going on in the world is "just Ignore it".....

If someone rapes a girl ignore it coz its not your issue let the girl deal with it....

If you are a victim of theft ignore it coz the thieve will find his punishment on the day of judgment...

If someone kills your brother ignore it coz he will be dealt harshly at the day of judgment

If someone abuses your mother and says her a prostitute ignore it coz someday he will get the punishment

if someone draws nude pics of your sister ignore it coz its freedom of speech and state has no right to stop him....

if someone is making pornographic movies ignore it no matter how much this is exploiting our young generation this not the matter of concern of a state because banning them will be against freedom of speech

Of all the IF's that you have asked I can answer them..I assure you would not like the answers..so lets come back to the topic on hand..

they are enraging because you are getting enraged...


they are not doing all these things that you have mentioned here...so its pointless...let me agree with you for a moment...let me say we can do something


Let me ask - What are you going to do of this FB issue ? Will that end the problem till eternity ? How do you plan to end it so it does not happens again ?


Let me also ask you mate...

Go Back to your Holy Book...and see what suggestions can we find to deal with this kind of scenario...Please share it with us too.

Frankly speaking, we are stupid to the extent of being moronic. We have so conveniently played into the hands of a publicity stunt. We are behaving like fools in helping some people achieve exactly what their objective was from the start, publicity. Why are we so naive to think that banning facebook will make them bear losses? In fact all this free publicity will earn them returns far beyond our imagination.

We need to be patient, tolerant and level headed while dealing with such situations. For those of you who have seen Dr. Zakir Naik speak, even when a non-Muslim asks a question which might be considered offensive by Muslims, he listens to him and than answers the question with patience and with logic as opposed to our average Mullah's who issue a fatwa of Kufar even if an average Muslims asks a question to clarify his concepts.

Lets just leave them alone.

being a muslim, i totally agree with you,our whole community is in chaos cos of some retards who misinterpretate holy quran for their own benifits and also the true meaning of jihad....

Its a false news. I can browse the page and the pics too.
I don't think you'd want a screenshot.

Yes Muslims won't tolerate anything like that. Don't put or even try to put anything like that.

The only way we can stop this is by Facing it and not Running away from it.

BS decision - Muslims need to grow a thicker skin instead of being 'offended' over facebook comics.

The GoP (PPP) is basically caving in to the religious lobby and enforcing draconian and intolerant decisions to deflect attention away from its failures in governance, much like the PPP caved into religious extremists under ZA Bhutto and legalized intolerance, discrimination and prejudice against a community with the laws against Ahmadis.

Facebook is a truly global website and has huge number of Muslim members.
If the news is true about a multitude of member requests to remove this page which Muslim members found offensive, then the facebook management has also indulged itself with a lot of BS deliberately and clearly has to be blamed as well.

What i know is that this kind of attitude is wrong if displayed by management of a site like facebook, if we allow members here at PDF to abuse other religions then i shall find it very disturbing to say the least, same goes for facebook as well.

I do not support violence in such matters.
Temporarily Banning the site on the day it is celebrating as draw Mohammad day seems like a strong way to protest without getting violent.

Will this make the likes of JI happy, i think not ..they are not easily pleased and we all know that, they are another extreme which never treads the middle ground.

bAN ON "VEIL" in france is no big deal however, pakistan banning facebook on blasphemy is "barbaric" weird double standards.....

I think facebook is banned for right reason , Facebook have not rules & regulation , you can make Events , groups & Discussion whatever you want.

So banning facebook in protest of '...........Draw day' is very good Decision .

I boycotted facebook since 19 May.

Why shouldn't people discuss whatever they want? Its their choice.

If you disagree with that and choose to boycott FB, then do it yourself, why are you forcing your decision on everyone else?

And on this point of 'discussing whatever they want' and 'freedom and liberalism', just look at where the West is, in terms of being developed societies that offer every imaginable service to their citizens, continue to make scientific and technological achievements, and then see where the Muslim world is, still obsessed with petty issues and Mullah ideology over banning websites and ending fahashi.

With this kind of attitude the Muslim world will continue to excel at only one thing, 'anti-fahashi police and actions', while the rest of the world excels in science, technology, arts and literature.

 

[Kompromat]

That dosent mean the whole world will stop drawing sketches just to please you guys. The people of this world who are creating such things really dont care beacause in their respective religions drawing is an art.

So such things will go on....

Who gives a damn about being pleased by these morons ?
We just dont want to be offended !
