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."
You mean the pedophile?
Hello, it's called FACEbook! How long did you think it would be before Mohammed's face ended up on there?!
That's unreasonable.
This ain't rocket surgery.

Pretty much. One of my friends in the LDS once told me that it's fairly common practice for his church to secretly "baptize" non-Mormons whom they deem worthy of saving from the evils of whatever religion (or lack of religion) they currently practice. The targets of this event are apparently never told.
I don't think I've ever been secretly inducted into another church, but I'm always careful to be an asshole to everyone just in case. To whit, I asked said friend if the baptism involves sneaking into the target's house and replacing all their underwear. He didn't seem to find that very funny.
There's no such thing as a reasonable absolutist.
It's sad when choosing an installation directory on your own qualifies you as an "advanced user."
