It’s just the religious extremists demanding a ban.. I’d be very surprised if it ever happens considering most Bengalis aren’t v.religious..
Islamic group asks Bangladesh to ban Facebook
DHAKA, May 23 (APP)
A platform of Islamic parties grouped under Islami Andolan Bangladesh (IAB) has demanded the Bangladesh government of banning Facebook in Bangladesh for organizing cartoon competition of great prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM). The demand was made by Dhaka chapter of IAB president Prof ATM Hemayetuddin while addressing a protest meeting organized by the party in Dhaka Sunday evening against the move to hold cartoon competition of Prophet Muhammad (SM).
He said Bangladesh is a country of 90 percent Muslims and the government will have to register strong protest against such move on behalf of Rasul-loving (Muhammad (SM)) people.
The IAB leader further asked the government to carryout diplomatic efforts on behalf of Bangladesh to arrest the cartoon competition organizer.
Otherwise he cautioned that they along with Rasul-loving people will siege the Foreign Ministry and if necessary they will seize the Swedish Embassy in Dhaka.
