Mr. Azhar Siddique, the lawyer filing this petition, is the one who pushed for the ban against Facebook. He then used an illegal clone script to make Millat Facebook: http://www.millatfacebook.com/
It was functional for a while until their hosting service kicked them off for using the illegal script I suppose. Now it's just filled with Anti-West/Jewish propaganda.
I am a Pakistani and although I disagree with the ban (on Facebook, Flickr, Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, BlackBerry Services, Opera Mini etc.), it has overwhelming support among Pakistanis, most of whom are illiterate and have never even used internet (95% are not connected). I don't think even the Lahore High Court judges who ordered the ban knew what Facebook was. It's been reported somewhere that about 50 people stormed into the court to force this decision. BTW Lahore High Court is a provincial court which should not have had the authority to impose a national ban.
