Pakistan's Internet censorship

[kugga]

International law is NOT dictated by religious sentiments. Only a handful of states in this world implement religious laws as the law of the land, doesnt mean that the international community has to follow them.

But obviously its a law for which countries have agreed upon whether willingly or with fear that if they will not sign they will be left alone........
International Law is not dictated by religious sentiments but by some economically strong communities and countries

 

[Neither Right Nor Wrong]

There are many thing to draw why they are targeting Prophet?
Is they have every right to insult any one ? and who give them this right? if he is bold enough then post his picture and asked asked to kissed on it or pie on it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Cartoon, "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!"
Everybody Draw Mohammed Day is a protest against Islamists who threaten violence against individuals that attempt to depict Muhammad. It originally began as a protest against censorship of South Park episode "201" by Comedy Central in response to death threats from radical Islamists. It started with a drawing posted on the Internet on April 20, 2010, the suggestion in it that everybody create a drawing representing Muhammad, a prophet of Islam, on May 20, 2010, as a protest against efforts to limit freedom of speech, and the movement in support of that protest.
U.S. cartoonist Molly Norris of Seattle, Washington, created the artwork in reaction to Internet death threats that had been made against cartoonists Trey Parker and Matt Stone for depicting Muhammad in an episode of South Park. Depictions of Muhammad are explicitly forbidden by a few hadith (Islamic texts), though not by the Qur'an.[1] Postings on RevolutionMuslim.com had said that Parker and Stone could wind up like Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was brutally murdered and mutilated by a Muslim extremist. The individuals running the website later denied that the postings were actual threats, although they were widely perceived as such.
Norris said that if millions of people draw pictures of Muhammad, Islamist terrorists would not be able to murder them all, and threats to do so would become unrealistic. Within a week, Norris' idea became popular on Facebook, was supported by numerous bloggers, and generated coverage on the blog websites of major U.S. newspapers. As the publicity mounted, Norris and the man who created the first Facebook page promoting the May 20 event disassociated themselves from it. Nonetheless, planning for the protest continued with others taking "up the cause".[2]

I have no idea.

Its insult for some freedom to do something for others.
Nobody needs to give any individual any right. We all are free to do whatever we want.

Yeah its fake news...because facebook have near 500mn users, and now these days, few muslims are not viewing facebook, bcoz of this draw Muhammad day event, many people who dont visit facebook, will be visiting it, and mnay people outside pakistan will be going to make account of facebook these days, and those who open it 2 dimes a day will be opening it 10 times a day because it's 24/7 in news, so personally i think facebook is going to make more money in these days.

Unlike the westerners Indians and Pakistanis dont buy all the stuff or any stuff that comes through advertisement. As far as they are concerned their primary market is US and Europe.

The page only has 80 thousand odd fans, nothing earth shattering. Sure it's offensive but the best we can do is ignore, no point in retaliating in any manner.

Let's just ignore it and get on with our lives.
