After clear discrimination of Facebook for not banning blasphemous Fan Page, Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom has directed PTA to ban Facebook Page in Pakistan, told us sources close to authority.

A reliable source, who is in direct contact with Secretary MoIT, told ProPakistani that ministry has issued the directive to PTA to ban said blasphemous content in the country.

Ministry of Information Technology directs PTA for banning any URL or whole of website in case of any inappropriate content available on it.

It is yet to be ascertained if the whole Facebook will be banned or just a single URL will be filtered. In both the situations, Step is inline with thousands of Facebook users and according to their urge of boycotting Facebook on May 20th.

It merits mentioning here that a Fan Page on Facebook is encouraging its members to draw Prophet Mohammad’s drawings (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa-aal-hi-Wasallam).

Despite thousands of requests, Facebook didn’t put this page down even it violated Facebook’s own terms of services.

Update: (3:14 PM – May 18, 2010) We have received confirmation from PTA that directive has been issued to all ISPs for blocking a single URL (of the particular Fan Page). Order was issued by Yawar Yasin, Director Enforcement PTA.

PTCL has confirmed the recipient of the order and said that specific URL is in process of being blocked throughout its network.

Update: (8:24 PM – May 18, 2010) Facebook fan page in question is still opening on various ISPs, however, reports are coming that specific URL is inaccessible on selected ISPs. Complete blackout is expected later tonight.

    Any Muslime who read Kalma cant tolrate thses attitudes from anybody, and we as Muslim have the same respect for all the NABIS and PROPHETS, but its our weakness that who wants to make fun of our religion, can do ……. And what is our reaction???? Just banned that typical URL, that website for sometime or forever .only? Is the remedy? Cant we talk with them on equal level, cant we inquire about that . we are scared people, thats why jews and all other rule on Muslims….. Why cant our government talk to the authorities, WHY? what happened with ban? People already dont sign up Face book, so what we do on govt level, being a Muslim why dont our govt has courage to talk with the FB authorities …. Banned is nothing.. Why cant we stop them? Why we Muslims are scared of… Because we all forget ISLAM. its all just a propaganda Demo, we from inside are weak, we from inside just think about ourselves only , what is Islam, what is his value, what is the meaning of life , we all forget……. On one side we ban the FB and on the other side we read, we listen we dance, we drink , we do all that which is prohibited in Islam. but for a propaganda we come out and show our double personalities…. baN IS NOTHING, WE NEED CHANGE IN OURSELVES ONLY, WHEN WE WILL BE MUSLIMS, TRUE MUSLIMS, BELIEVE ME NO ONE CAN NAME OUR PROPHET IN BAD WAYS, NO ONE CAN ABUSE OUR RELIGION. JUST TO MAKE YOURSELF A MUSLIM ONLY….

    1. When it came to the one-ness and respect of Allah, (whose respect was obligatory on Mohammad PBUH), he made no compromise!! To be heard by ALL, he used to climb a nearby peak and preach to ALL against polytheism (Shirk); and used to get almost beaten to death for it! Similarly, isnt the respect of Mohammad PBUH obligatory on us?? And guys, compared to him, what r we doing? NOTHING!! What is one little temporary ban of one website of one internet when weighed against the respect of a man to whom we owe SO MUCH?!! All our actions are being watched by Allah, and you never know, favouring the ban willingly (or at least not complaining about it) might count for a lot in His eyes! At least I ‘d love to be so fortunate!
    2. What have been put forward are mere theories i’m afraid! With the ban, at least they know that unacceptable things wont be accepted. BTW we’d all love to hear from you some CONCRETE steps (1,2,3..) that you would have taken to tackle the issue!
    3. The starter of the page (some Miss Sally from Seatle, USA), has already announced her disassociation from the event!! She probably realized that the idea of deliberately hurting a Billion+ Muslims (just because protests from some Muslims in USA had resulted in stopping a blasphemous episode of Comedy Central’s Southpark from being aired) is sheer nonsense!!
    4. Do you think Facebook owner is so naive? Look at what he says now.. that Facebook would disallow the objectionable URL in Pakistan but IT WILL NOT BE REMOVED FROM FACEBOOK!! So, it is the conscious decision of Facebook CEO: he would NOT take the page off, no matter how much and how many are hurt by it! FINE then, we understand your mental level Mr CEO, being such an accomplished person and having plenty of brains. BTW what do u expect from a common man you hurt so much!? Even the ban crosses your line?

    P.S. We r Muslims! We respect Jesus, and Moses, and Raam, and Buddha. Someone counts that as our weakness? be it!!

    let me tell you something all of you out there, yes its not right to disgraced anther religion and prophet, yet I have simple QUESTION to all who have send these comments.ARE YOU THE ONLY MUSLIM PEOPLE????????living in this universe????????look around there is whole Muslim world countries,why there resident Muslim do not do this, think as you do?by doing this who are killing and saving?????????yourselves only people in Pakistan all your own brother n sister is this the teaching of ISLAM to kill your own family???????????????????? I think Pakistan’ name is already been linked in all the major attacks around the Globe?by doing this I don’t see you r doing any good things for your mother land (PAKISTAN) dragging it in street around the world. It wasn’t the idea of IQBAL and Jinnah.

    So please think all with cool minds and use your brain to show the world you are educated young people, don’t show them your Illiterate. txn
