Pakistan Lifts Ban After Facebook Deletes Offending Page
crimeandpunishment writes "Facebook is back in Pakistan today. A day after Bangladesh banned the social networking site, the Pakistani government lifted its ban after officials from Facebook apologized for the 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' page and removed it from the site. The page caused outrage and protests among Pakistan's Muslim population, and led to the ban two weeks ago. A spokesman for Pakistan's office of information technology said Facebook assured the government 'nothing of this sort will happen in the future.'"

Let the message to everyone be clear : threaten (credibly) murder, mayhem and violence if anything on facebook (such as gays, Jews, ... what have you) offends you. The net results, media, lefties worldwide will support you for being victimized (presumably by those evil gays and Jews you want to kill ?)
Get a grip - your xenophobia is showing. Facebook are merely being capitalist. They want to serve ads. Entire countries blocking their service will affect their bottom line. And, also, when you make massive generalisations like you did, you look like an uneducated redneck twat.
Pretty much on-target, and why an Indo-Pak nuclear war would be a beautiful thing. (India has the resources to recover, and the people to put boots on the ground to finish off their enemy Pakistan.)
"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
The whole stunt was designed to get this kind of reaction. So far as I'm concerned, Israel should just torpedo them to prevent risks to their soldiers.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Maybe Zuckerberg thinks it's holy to make money.
Well he is Jewish, just sayin.
Yeah, Christianity was one hell of bitch; but we brought it down in the West, and it knows its place now - which is not in the government, or other positions of authority. This was done, among other things, through ridiculing it.
Now if we can just do the same to other religions with a similar dream for world domination, the world would be a much better place.
Bill Maher committed breaking and entering (or at the least trespassing) at the Creation Museum (although they showed forgiveness by not charging him with anything). I don't see any Christians committing crimes with Bill Maher as the target. Who is the one causing mayhem here?
Peter predicted that you would "deliberately forget" creation 2000 years ago...
The US is the only country, after all, to have used nuclear weapons in battle. So censorship of US leaders being depicted as warmongers would be contemptuous to the memories of the hundreds of thousands of civilians who died in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The use of nuclear weapons on Japan was a war crime, and there were no consequences because the US was on the winning side. Just like the atrocities committed by other allied forces.
Around 240 thousand people were killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, if we take the larger estimates; and these attacks brought WW2 to a near immediate halt. Ever wondered what would happen if they had NOT used nukes? Remember, Japan didn't look like it was going to surrender. The planned invasion would certainly have caused several million deaths, mainly civilians.
Consider the numbers, and you can't say a little nuke here and there was really that bad for them.
Circumcision is child abuse.
you bigotted fuck: you wish to vilify the entire religion?
try meeting some actual real muslims someday and actually talking to them, rather than stewing in ignorant hateful faux news all day
