Facebook and Youtube blocked in Pakisthan !!!

shocking news

It seems that one competition going on the face book about drawing the profet muhammad made them angry.

Oh is it!!!!


I knew that in many countries, social sites are also banned....

It is a bad news. Instead of blocking facebook and youtube they should block that pictures and bad quotes.

It is really bad news. But in real most of the muslim countries have lot of restrictions on sites like Orkut,uTube,facebook etc
Orkut is restricted in arab countries. There are many groups in facebook which are aganist pakistan and india too...These groups are not removed or restricted as facebook is a USA site. They dont have any problem and blocking such groups can reduce their traffic. So maybe pakistan have taken this step...

@Rajani, That's called dictatorship!! you can't expect a more tolerant approach from Pakistan!!

I don't think it as a bad because according to Muslim's beleif caricature of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is not allowed.Here facebook is conducting a contest on it!!So they have no solution except this.

Nobody should be allowed to play with the sentiments of any religion followers . Now a days it has become a fashion to do something which is against the religious beliefs to gain cheap popularity.

you are correct kumaresh

Apparently, the religious believers are less tolerant. I believe that everyone has the liberty to give views fearlessly and unhesitatingly without causing insult to any one. The Pakistanis are less tolerant and do not have democratic bent of mind.

I don't agry to this.Actual beleivers of any religion are highly tolerant.

What the hell are these sites and Pakistan up to! I personally condemn any attempts to play with the religious sentiments of the people and at the same time I find the Pakistani action to be childish and counter-productive.

Yes by banning the sites they are just stopping communication with other countries..it shouldnt be the solution. Religion cannt be blamed by anyone...these groups are just to attract traffic to put some heated argument..It is clear that no one will tolerate their religion being blamed so by taking this point the groups are created with insulting pictures..
Reporting to facebook can not help as previously some indians tried to remove a group in facebook with name fuck india... :angry:

These are basically cheap gimmicks and sick ploy to boost up the popularity of a site but I can not understand why a site as popular as facebook has to resort to them!

They should have asked google to Stop the competition instead of blocking the channels. But they are so arrogant that they don't even bother to do that. Some people never change

Abid- You told actual believers are tolerant. You could be right. But the fact remains that Pakistan is not tolerant as site after site is being targeted and banned.

Pakistan is a country which has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.Although it proclaims to be an Islamist state,its role in giving Islam a bad name merits serious consideration.

Chinmoy- Primarily this is not religious issue. This is rather a matter of freedom of expression that is denied by an undemocratic regime.

better throw all this shit followers to desert arabia, they don't belong to civilized and educated world

The talks are going on with Indian Govt. to ban facebook in India too.
