Pakistan court orders Facebook ban over Mohammed drawings

A Pakistani court has ordered the government to block the social networking website Facebook temporarily because of a page that encourages users to submit images of Islam’s Prophet Mohammed.

The Facebook group Everybody Draw Mohammed Day! has generated criticism in Pakistan because many Muslims consider images of the prophet, even favourable ones, to be blasphemous.

It encourages users to submit images of the prophet on May 20 to protest against threats made by a radical Muslim group against the creators of South Park for depicting Mohammed in a bear suit during an episode earlier this year.

Naveed Inayat Malik, the deputy attorney general of Punjab province, said the Lahore High Court ordered the government to ban Facebook until May 31.

Freaks!

"Why didn't you stop the film??!".....Why didn't you get up and walk out if you didn't like the film.

Fair play to the two Muslim lads that came up from the back to try and calm the idiots down though.

While I disagree with him on a lot of things, Thunderf00t's "arch-nemesis" DawahFilms made a great response to this. He makes some good, well-reasoned points in his video. I'll probably still participate in DMD, but he gets my my respect for this (though he was still way out of line with his (not a) threat video).

These are the sorts of pics I like to see, just Mohammed doing normal or heroic stuff. Makes the outrage all the more absurd.

Look how professional a job I did. So convincing. I of course did not just take a screenshot of an old dos game and then draw on beard and turban.

We all know the background. Some cartoonists and film-makers were threatened, bullied and harassed for producing works that satired/criticised/mocked Muhammad/Islam. The operators of Dailymotion were threated for hosting ‘Fitna’, a film fiercely critical of Islam. There have been attempted assaults, Lars, theer have been deaths, with Theo being an outright murder, and in the midst of it all some embassies croaked.

This day is about sending a clear unambiguous message to the radical elements who have perpetrated threats, violence and barbarism against free speech – to tell them that we will not allow our freedoms to be eroded through fear or intimidation.

At this point I practically rage every time someone asks “but what about offending the moderates?”. Free speech includes the freedom to offend, it includes the right to be a dick in your speech and it includes the right to rip the living piss out any idea or concept. If the moderate Muslim community spent half the time confronting radicals as they do whinging about events like Draw Muhammad Day then this day would not have happened. But even saying this, the risk of offending some moderates is absolutely inconsequential in what is at stake here – freedom of speech. A freedom that generations of people have fought to achieve, and many more have fought to uphold.

The fabric of western democracies have, at their core, the freedom of speech. It is a pillar upon which our governance functions and a garden from which our civil liberties blossom. Yes, I really do think it is that important despite how hyperbolic this sounds. And freedoms, when surrendered, are very hard to win back. This is why people are so committed to defending freedom of speech. And I can think of no purer or more poetically just way to defend that freedom than to utilise it in a way that would stick the proverbial ‘two fingers’ up at those who rob such freedom away from us.

It is a simple choice. Either make a stand to defend your freedom of speech, or appease some radicals while allowing that freedom to be degraded.

Pakistan has blocked the popular video sharing website YouTube in a bid to contain 'blasphemous' material.

The blockade came hours after the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) directed Internet service providers to stop access to social network Facebook indefinitely because of an online competition to draw the Prophet Mohammad.

Wahaj-us-Siraj, the CEO of Nayatel, an Internet service provider, said PTA issued an order late yesterday seeking an 'immediate' blockade of YouTube.

'It was a serious instruction as they wanted us to do it quickly and let them know after that,' he said.

YouTube was also blocked in the Muslim country in 2007 for about a year for what it called un-Islamic videos.

A PTA official, who declined to be identified, said the action was taken after the authority determined that some caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad were transferred from Facebook to YouTube.

Any representation of the Prophet Mohammad is deemed un-Islamic and blasphemous by Muslims.

Siraj said the blocking of the two websites would cut up to 25% of total Internet traffic in Pakistan.

'It'll have an impact on the overall Internet traffic as they eat up 20% to 25% of the country's total 65 giga-bytes traffic,' he said.

Publications of similar cartoons in Danish newspapers in 2005 sparked deadly protests in Muslim countries.

Around 50 people were killed during violent protests in Muslim countries in 2006 over the cartoons, five of them in Pakistan.

Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on Denmark's embassy in Islamabad in 2008, killing six people, saying it was in revenge for publication of the caricatures.

Crazy motherf'uckers.

At this rate they'll be entirely blocked from the rest of the world in no time. Oh well.

Judging by this thread, they're going to have to block Boards.ie as well (including the muslim forum, presumably). What are all our Pakistani posters going to do now?

Pakistan's minister of religious affairs, Hamid Saeed Kazmi, said the country's ban was only a temporary solution and suggested the government organise a conference of Muslim countries to figure out ways to prevent the publication of images of the prophet, which have caused backlashes among Muslim populations.

Yeah, good luck with that buddy :rolleyes:

He links to a counter-Facebook page, run by Muslims, which calls for a non-violent response, simply honouring Mo-Mo.

I say fair play.
