our judiciary has become the incredible hulk. ruining everything in their rage.
Lets check constitution first before we drag our knives out against judiciary.
Re: Court orders facebook block in Pak
Pakistan as country has every right to block sites that publish material declared illegal in Pakistan, though personally, i am not comfortable with Pakistan being the only one among all muslim countries doing it. It just singles us out.
Re: Court orders facebook block in Pak
just block the internet and get done with it. the same specificity that applies to the facebook/youtube/wikipedia ban (somewhere on facebook/youtube/wikipedia there is a group that is putting up pictures of the Prophet) applies to Internet in general.. somewhere on the internet there are hundreds of thousands of websites with anti-Islamic material.
BAN THE INTERNET!
Re: Court orders facebook block in Pak
in answer to people who are continuously remarking that this is indeed a ridiculous measure by LHC on banning FB and YouTube, advocates of rights to freedom and those who said ignore these people and as to those who said they don't understand why Pakistanis are creating such a hype over this matter:
The Holy Prophet (SAW)'s Hadith about trying to stop an evil in society by force or verbally or even if you are unable to do so know that it is wrong by HEART. That is the lowest status of Imaan (faith)
And it has already come down to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together
Surah Al-Nisā' 4:140
Refrain from being where obvious ridiculing and degradation of our own religion and Islamic values is being done. That's the least we could have done.
I truly appreciate the decision on banning Facebook. Even if Pakistan has not much impact on revenues generated by FB...even a cent not earned would be deemed appreciable in the eyes of Allah. Can't we do this much for someone (SAW) who used to stay up all night on prayer mat..praying for the goodness and forgiveness of his Ummah!

Re: Court orders facebook block in Pak
I think it's horrible that they allowed Islam to be insulted and didn't do anythign about it. I plan to deactivate my account and would strongly advice my family members as well because this is just not acceptable.
Is the Prophet sacred to Pakistanis only? If not then why must the LHC ban Facebook and other websites while the other 50 or so Muslim majority states, including Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, look the other way? Pakistanis could have gotten their message across in a more civilized manner by joining the Facebook group opposing the one calling for cartoons. Or boycotting Facebook. The latter perhaps is too much to ask because few people waxing lyrical against Facebook will deactivate their account.
The only thing LHC's decision will achieve, besides of course making Pakistan once again a laughing stock in the international community, is to give the cartoon campaign lots of coveted publicity. Thanks to the coverage of the ban, those who had not heard of the day have become suddenly very interested in the how the whole thing unfolds. I won't be surprised at all if the not so judicious decision of the LHC engenders many more “blasphemous” campaigns.

Why stop at the Internet?
Why not ban computers in which these images are shown.
BAN all COMPUTERS.

Pakistanis who are muslims would not like to be a part of system that deliberately promotes blashphemy.cant get more clear and cant get more civilized.
if u can pls elaborate the difference between civilized and more civilized manner.

Re: Court orders facebook block in Pak
facebook sucks it should be banned permanently.
I’m surprised that these people even know facebook, especially the second last person on the right who has both arms up in protest.
I personally think its a great decision because above everything, our Court and our Govt, for maybe the first time, got together on representing general public sentiments.
If People of Pakistan want FB to be blocked, then it should be blocked, Its not Govt's decision, the decision was taken by the People of our country and we should respect that.
There is no such thing as unrestricted liberty.
Ever watched western media political shows/news etc? "N" word is banned and media take every precaution to not air "N" word, why? coz it hurts "a specific group of people" (blacks). I wonder whats stopping Media to ban this when it hurts almost 1 billion people?
It is an utterly useless and counter productive gesture. It will prompt more people to visit those pages to see what all the fuss is about and possibly more contestants in the compition.
Nobody is arguing about the stupidity of such a compition but lets not help the idiots in thier cause to defame and insult the Prophet(saw). I doubt Pakistan is going to ban it permanantly. Then the present ban can be seen as an attempt to prevent people from visiting those pages. This begs the question why a populace outraged at the contents would be visiting those pages at all.
