Facebook banned in Pakistan, I am loving it

The recent Draw Muhammad (SAW) Day Event that was going to be held on facebook on 20 May 10 was not surprise to me at-least. There has always been a chunk of guys looking for easy way to fame and this was the easiest one for them. Picking up on the personality of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was no surprise.

However, the platform involved which is the biggest Social Networking Site face book” now will learn the lesson the hard way. I don’t see those guys the bunch of idiots (who have no respect for any other religions belief’s and there emotions) learning anything from this , infact they have over achieved there targets with this recent campaign.

I have made a few videos highlighting the objectives of Draw Muhammad (SAW) Day and Muslims reaction to Draw Muhammad (PBUH) Day or  whenever something like this facebook tos violated and banned in Pakistancomes up. So I won’t go into details of the agenda’s involved.

The clear violation of facebook TOS this time might be very costly for them this time. The underestimated the gravity of the whole situation. Draw Muhammad (SAW) Day was not something that any Muslim would tolerate. Till last night I was not 100 % in support of the protests or boycott against facebook as I felt that this is not the right party to go against … But today … Pakistani Govt. Banned facebook till further notice. Though I was mostly online 24/7 on facebook using it to connect with friends and family and some business clients too … Now I feel like this was the right thing …. For once our Govt. have taken some stance , and this could be the start of something big.

The headlines have been written with the Media Giants CNN , BBC, Fox globally and facebook banning is all over Pakistani channels. I am confident we’ll see similar decisions by other countries and people around the world too …Now Facebook management has to make the tough decision but they don’t have any choice the way I see it .. sooner or later they would have to give in .. cause its them against the whole Muslim Ummah…

This incident I am confident will serve as a lesson to all those other giants like youtube , bloggers, squidoo , hubpages , wordpress , tipd etc etc which are being used for similar activities. That the personality of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is not something to mess around with.

This also might seem the BIG blunder everybody was expecting facebook to make. Since it left myspace (the earlier social networking giant) behind, it didn’t look back. The site had over 400 million registered users and was growing with massive pace, but with the recent development, it feels like the turning point has been reached.

Do share your thoughts as how do you see the decision of the high court to ban FACEBOOK. ??????????

    Only idiots and children believe in angels,devils and jinns. The story mohammad the false prophet told about meeting an angel in a cave is a lie , a fairytale. Islam is based on fiction.




  2. @bucksmasher1 // I feel sorry for you and your knowledge & belief’s ….




  3. SecularResponse

    The fact that Pakistani Facebook users are denied access to their pages or the pages of others worldwide simply and eloquently proves our point! In a country where it is more important to preserve religious tradition than freedom of expression, stifling dissent can be as simple as pulling a plug! It takes more courage to face the enemy! In the civilized world we understand that it’s opinions we least like which must be protected most tenaciously!




  4. @SecularResponse // Pakistan was founded on the basis of relegious values .. in the name of Islam , so it’s only right if we stand up for what we got this country in the first place ….




  5. @SecularResponse // For you it might be freedom of speech , but if that freedom is hurting someone else , then only a decent and moral person can realize that its not freedom its an inhuman behavior.




  6. @SecularResponse // We are humans and we live in a society , God has given us brains to think and act , not just act upon whatever comes in your mind .. so you need to make sure that your freedom doesn’t interfere or disturbs somebody else’s freedom …




  7. @SecularResponse // The funny thing is why can’t you guys live within what you have , why you guys always have to put your leg into someone else’s life / business….




  8. well….
    I think this discussion is useless.
    The current situation of muslim community is surely not in the mode that we can do something on mass level.

  10. Sana Arif

    I am not in favor of facebook being banned like this …

  13. Maryum lateef

    I am with you Pakistan. Go Go Go hit them , hit them hard. Hit there where it would hurt.




  14. ahmed billal

    Pakistani people will not sit and do nothing. We are a proud nation and we will respond in a much stronger manner. This banning is just the start InshAllah




  15. Qamar Altaf

    Assalaamu Alaikum MashaAllah ……. And JazaakAllah Khair for all My Brothers and sisters who are supporting Islam ….. Thank You….. May Allah Reward you Allah Haafiz




  16. saad rafiq

    but now they have their own social networking sites, all they have to do is move back to tradtionally Islamic lands and stop trying to Islamify the rest of the free thinking world and everybody will get on just fine. It’s what we’ve been saying for years.




  17. Hey cmon now, don’t insult Islam. It’s ok for muslims to wave placards in our captial city saying ‘behead the infidels’ ‘UK your 9/11 is coming’, ‘UK you holocaust is coming’, ;Death to the infidels’, all this after blowing people up on our transport system then marching up and down our streets campaigning for Sharia Law and that ‘Islam is the future for the UK’. But god forbid we should say anything bad about Islam. And they wonder why people are voting BNP…..




  18. Kashif Khan

    Now how did it felt to you when you saw those play cards and signs … I bet it wasn’t nice … same thing happens when you do something that goes against our belief ….




  19. @Kashif // nicely compared …




  20. sania taufeeq

    Thanks Allah SWT for giving me Islam…




  21. Pakistan Zindabad




  22. Islam is the relegion of peace and to provide peace, and live in the peace, those who want to damage the thinking, moral and practice of islam, are realy not from the civilized culture, but rather the real terror spread mindz,, may Allah take them to hell, inshallah. we all muslimz are alwayz togather when its about islam, or our beloved propher (PBUH – SAW). talkin bad about some onez religous is a creminal offence and rather not a freedom of speach..




  23. @Bashir // you got that right brother ….




  24. This was amazing… i thing it should be banned forever




  25. Buhat khushi haoi… aisa he hona chahiayya tha

    Amen..!!




  28. frednonames1

    @Tirmizee I am not required to respect your religon. You are not required to respect mine. Its that freedom thing again.




  29. @frednoname1 // Amazing …. I wish all you guys could read what you just wrote .. and that could end the debate or discussions on the topic .. As everyone would see the mentality of you guys who are doing such crappy things …




  30. @frednoname1 // @frednoname1 /// well you guys can come in and bomb the countries kill thousands of innoncent people .. based on hunches … and then later on say ” sorry there were no WMD’s” I have seen the sanity , invoilence , backwardness that you guys have shown , in afghanistan , iraq in abu graib ….

    @frednoname1 // its the same mentality buddy … its tooo damn hard for you guys to accept your mistakes .. but its easier to keep making more …




  33. What’s the war for? Drawings?

    Practice your religion all you want; I won’t threaten you if you draw a picture of fucking Jesus. You’re free to do as you like. I’m free to ignore it if I so choose; I’m not going to start destroying TV Antennae because there’s a single show I don’t like.

    Use rationality and reasoning, people. I was diagnosed with Leukemia (blood) two months ago, now THAT’S an actual fucking problem.
    What you’re doing is just a waste of hours in a day and a fucking joke.




  34. @TAz69x // ahhhh I am really sorry to hear about your illness // May you get well soon .. and find the strength to fight this and come out fine ..

    As far as the freedom to say or act as and how you want … well we are humans living in a society among other humans. Not every person has same faith and beliefs. So this is the thing you guys need to understand …

    What if someone comes up to you and start slapping you … of abusing you @ your face… cause he felt like it ….




  35. Irfan virk

    We hate facebook for allowing such things. We want them to remove this absurd event immediatly.




  36. i feel very relaxed after this ban…

    Proud to be Pakistani. !!!

    Pakistan Zindaabad




  37. @ Frednonames1: I wish, i could have the freedom to shut your mouth!!




  38. nd i appreciate this ban order.. it should be ban forever..




  39. u stupid jahil people! u made them ban FB, when we had that media in our hand we could atleast know what those people are up to… we could reply them on same front… but now thanks to stupid so called muslims, we wont even know what they are doing… u guys have no socio-political sense… people who support banning media are just JERKS!




  40. Hina, i am sorry but i think u are in the dreamland!!! if we could have guts we would not let this happen again and again… this issue is raising 4th or 5th time… where were your stupid media to stop this awful event?

    Happy banning guys




  41. Hina behan… humain agar jawab daina aata tuo pehlay day daitay. main yeh tuo nahi kahonnga k yeh koi aqqal mundi ka faisla tha likin yehh ik behter faisla zaroor hai … is waqt aurr is daur main jo hum karsakthay thay woh yehi tha… jahan tak media ki bat hai tuo media nay kuch nahi karna siwaaye aam logon ko bewaqooof bnanay k. jo k hum waqai bun rahay hain..
    khaas tor pr aap jaisay log….




  42. as far as this face book thing is concerned the hype given to the event by our people was a little mistake as ignorance would have made them fail but when it had been brought up with this force so step like banning facebook, youtube and wikipedia was eminent. At least a sensible decision that our government took in last so many years of their rule. And actually all those saying all this shit like it should not have been banned so all such people just listen one thing that if you are on a social networking you have to take care of views and feelings of other people you can not abuse them being racist

  45. hey freinds happy facebook band ;)

    its perfect and rocking ;)




  46. rabi naseem

    tirmizi bhi reading on all the comments i needed to share my thoughts too….. we have a heavy duty w.r.t Islam to preech it.

    i feel the help of Dr. Zakir Naik this moment to satisfy bucksmasher1, SecularResponse type ppl.
    may Allah bless him n keep his shelter always ameen.




  47. rabi naseem

    Islam is not only the religion of Muslims.but also the religion of the whole humanity. Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam was the last prophet of Allah among the series of prophets over different areas. Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is the complete role play in every sphere of life coz there would b no any prophet to cum in this world anymore.




  48. rabi naseem

    Hazrat Eesa (A.S) N HazratYaqoob(a.s) was the part of the sries of prophets n they all have given evidences of Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam in their near future………… n that happend too. in fact islam does not start with the birth of hazrat
    Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam, but it was present from the first day the world had been created.




  49. rabi naseem

    but wat happend practically.. the beleivers of hazrat eesa(a.s) n hazrat yaqoob (a.s) changed their teachings n edited wat they wanted. though previous prophets had given evidences of hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam so they ppl should have respect him (s.a.w). but they dont.




  50. rabi naseem

    however in teachings of hazratMuhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam we r legible to respect every passed prophet n we do respect n beleive all of them.




  51. rabi naseem

    all the prophets had the same teachings as hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam brought with him.




  52. hmmm correct rabi.




  53. n this way we will never accept such steps or issues regarding any prophet…… lols

    we are beleivers of all prophets.




  54. asmat ara

    i luv the step of our govt. geo Pakistan :)




  55. asmat ara

    n i pray theis ban must b for ever. n every muslim country should attempt this step.




  56. warda raheel

    ameen summa ameen.




  57. warda raheel

    i have surveyed the reports … they r so shameful tht atleast i cant bring on my sinful tongue or fingers :(




  58. qamar alam

    challanges r to accept n conquer. n we have been succeeded to a large extent. :)




  59. our govt has shown its interest in this issue…… we r proud to b Pakistani after Muslims :) :) :)




  60. ya really….. we all should pray shukrana……. bulkey mostly logon ne parh b lia hoga…… :)




  61. Allah hamen b hidayat dey….. or non-muslims ko b….. agahi badi nemat he…..

    ye gumrah log jab agahi hasil karenge to apne oopar afsos karenge k ab tak kitni badi gumrahi men mubtala they.




  62. humaira naz

    ameen.Allah hamen jald hidayat de or apne azab se bacha ley… ameen




  63. @Ammar yes its all goooooooooo buddy ……




  64. @Sana // Very right .. freedom of speech doesn’t mean you exploit or insult others freedom of belief …




  65. @Tames // Love & Respect buddy …. Enjoy the OFF DAYS :D




  66. @Riz // Well that would be an extremist act :D // Freedom of speech is for them not for us ….. If you know what I mean …




  67. Tirmizi brother to ban facebook is good way to protest, but i think an emergency meeting of OIC should be called and if all Muslim countries declared commonly to ban facebook then it could be the best way to show the world that we are not going to bear any GUSTAKHI.
    I would also like to tell everyone that it is not permanent solution.




  68. Tirmizi be a Muslim and forget Facebook . if any one hit our religious emotions then we will not forgive him .

    Jewish run Facebook . as a Muslim we shouldn’t support Jewish products . Realize your strength then no body hit you.




  69. it is really great that face book is banned in pakistan. with this particular event we the youth of our country must learn alot of things. i think we some one among us, who is expert in IT skills, have to develop such sort of web networks, like face book and other created by western people,for pakistani youth so that we connect with each other in the world and the sologon of our web link will be ” Freedom of speech but with respect of all nations Globally”. this will be the strongest SLAP ON FACE BOOK OWNERS AND OTHERS WHO ARE SUPPORTING THEM”
    REGARDS TO ALL WHO RESPECT FEELINGS OF HUMANITY




  70. MY MUSLIM BROTHERS & SISTERS
    “Those who know cannot be like the ones who do not know. Of course, knowledge and ignorance are like light and darkness which can never be alike.”
    –Holy Quran–
    They all r Ignorant people but we know…………
    still it is not to late we have to b united again, if we say that we are the true lover of prophet MUHAMMAD P.B.U.H) We have to follow his preachings, we have to follow his “uss-wah-a-hassana”. lets examine r we true lover of him, r we following his message in our daily life. so lets prove it that we r the true lover of that Prophet (P.B.U.H) for whom this whole world is created and it is the great desire of other prophets to b the UMMATI of this GREAT PROPHET(P.B.U.H).strenghten ur spirits and b united and follow religion with all firm belief that ALLAH IS ONE, HE IS GREATEST AND PROPHET MUHAMMAD IS HIS LAST MESSENGER AND WE R BELESSED THAT WE R HIS FOLLOWERS.

  71. Islam– religion of peace? What a joke. Where is your peace?
    You are held captive by a corrupt, murdering government and your happy about it?
    Facebook is banned? Well at least we won’t have worry about putting up with you on there.




  72. Amen, in the name of Jesus!




  73. @Chex // the ban was lifted unfortunatly or fortunatly !! anyways yes we have corrupt leaders atm … but what does that have to do with the relegion …. or you think in Christianity everybody is God fearing person and there is no corruption or anything or nobody does anything bad … I don’t want to run the facts about corrputions , rapes , murders by the people from your faith , but that doesn’t mean that its the problem of your relegion , No relegion preeches hatred or promote voilance … its the people who because of their lack of belief bring all those things…

    I hope this might make some sense to you if you are a logical person that is …
