The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has blocked Facebook over a competition encouraging its users to post caricatures of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) on the social networking site.
Earlier in the day, the LHC ordered authorities to block Facebook until May 31..
The depiction of any prophet is strictly prohibited in Islam as blasphemous and Muslims across the world staged angry protests over the publication of satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in European newspapers in 2006.
This came to me when I was about to open and watch a YouTube video on Firefox but instead it kept returning me the “This Site is Restricted ” This is not the first time that something like this has happened in Pakistan. Last time Blogger.com was blocked as some of the blogs on Blogger were targeting the religious and cultural values of Muslims Now Again is banned Due to facebook Hurting religious and cultural values of Muslims YouTube, Facebook Banned In Pakistan Till 31st May 2010, YouTube, Facebook Banned In Pakistan Till 31st May, YouTube, Facebook Banned In Pakistan
