Saudi Arabia Bans Facebook
gandhi_2 sends in a brief Associated Press piece on Saudi Arabia's blocking of Facebook. "An official with Saudi Arabia's communications authority says it has blocked Facebook because the popular social networking website doesn't conform with the kingdom's conservative values. ... He says Facebook's content had 'crossed a line' with the kingdom's conservative morals, but that blocking the site is a temporary measure." Some reports indicate that at least some individual Facebook pages can be reached from inside the kingdom. There hasn't been an official announcement; the source noted above requested anonymity. Earlier this year when Pakistan and Bangladesh banned Facebook, it was over particular content — cartoons of Mohammed — and the Saudi ban may prove similar once more details emerge.
Once again, Islam has show its true colors. Whenever people try to use their brains to think beyond the closest Mosque Muslims are forced to intervene. Oppression is a way of life for Muslims. That's why Saudi Arabia is run by a king instead of by democracy. That's why their women are forced to wear a full veil, even in free countries. That's why their women aren't allowed to drive. Muslim countries censor the internet because their love of Islam forces them to hate the truth.
Islam is a violent and oppressive curse on the world. Muslims are the terrorist foot-soldiers of Islam, and I for one have had enough.
Next election, I'm going to support the most xenophobic, bloodthirsty candidate I can find.
2.5 out of 500 million is not much, no. And those 2.5 are muslims which the rest of the world hates anyway.
Ignorant slashdotting Americans put Pakistan and Saudi in one level. Pakistan are sufferring only because of America War on Terror, so stop your bullshits. before war on terror, Pakistan was most progressive state in science technology and many suh fields. Pakistan nuclear scientist AQ Khan is modern day einstein. Pakistani government do not have blashpemy law like Saudi and we don't have barbaric punishment like Saudi. So please dont put us in one level.
