Pakistan Court Orders Facebook Ban Over Mohammed Images
jitendraharlalka writes with this excerpt from Al Jazeera English: "A Pakistani court has issued a ban on the social networking site Facebook after a user-generated contest page encouraged members to post caricatures of Prophet Mohammed. The Lahore High Court on Wednesday instructed the Pakistani Telecommunications Authority (PTA) to ban the site after the Islamic Lawyers Movement complained that a page called 'Draw Mohammed Day' is blasphemous. ... 'We have already blocked the URL link and issued instruction to Internet service providers,' Khurram Mehran, a spokesperson for the PTA, said."
I'm also a Christian. Everyday Christians around the world are persecuted for their beliefs. This holds true in the past as it does in the present. Truth be told, it shouldn't bother you in the slightest if you are secure in your faith.
Muslims, and other people of faith need to learn that they're not instruments of destruction through Gods will. The moment you act on behalf of God, the moment you realize just how weak he is without you. Not exactly what I a call an all powerful all loving omnipresent deity.
Life is not for the lazy.
