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.

facebook banned is it the correct way??? i dont think so……..
sweet i only know one thing Qur’an sys “They never be your friends.”
on other place “kill them and chop them if they do not obey to ALLAH, untill they bowd down and start obying ALLAH”
Last half decad wat they r doing in a series and v just did protests but it was our politnes. that v just recording our dislikness. so tell me miss fatima wat happend after each protest????
u r asking muslims to become modrate on a matter that is more important than our lives.
if v call name of ur mother and father or ur sister or even u then for how long u will show ur politness. for how long u will remain cool.
v r polite persons and cool ones. they r the barbarians, brutels.
May ALLAH protect u from those things. they rape our women in pelestine, iraq, bosnia, afghanistan. even girls of age 11 untill they died and infront of the eyes of her tied parents. tell me the modration if they do this to you’r daughter in front of ur eyes. they put unclothed dead bodies of our sisters in lakes and rivers.
and still u r telling us to be modrate.
tell me the last stage of modraion. they r killing our people down to there last child and u r sying that v dont do anything against them. it amazes me that in all over the world they are killing muslims, and still they are modrate ppl and v r brutels????
u know ppl like u…………
May ALLAH Bless me, you, and all of us with right path…..
Aameen
last thing most important thing is that v shud call for jihad in all over the world. they r never going to stop to do such things. just sword can stop them

The need is to understand the big picture, which mostly of us are unaware of. We all must understand that its all a part of jewish conspiracy or free masons building a new world order by eliminating muslims, otherwise why would Facebook’s management would do something that is against their policy and terms and would create a mess for themselves.
We have been attracted so much to this futile thing and become so dependent to this useless social interaction site (i.e facebook),that we have no idea were is this all going, whose getting all the funds and profits genereated by facebook, who is using it for what or against who, the question remains. its like they have entranced upon us.
They have hurt our sentiments and they have certainly hurt our religion Islam. i am frankly not a fundamentalist, but this is something we all cant tolerate at all, at any cost. i think i did my part and that is by deleting my account on facebook, i can surely live without it as i was living before without it. sometimes in life you have to set your priorities by defining limitatons and i guess this was the time when i decided to do one.
Even if the PTA removes the ban on this facebook site, which they shoudnt, even then i am not going to deactivate my account. this is the right time to understand what these people are doing to us, why they hurt us and why they degrade us….and always remember one thing if we try “togather we can make a difference”.
Peace!
