Facebook is against me personally. It has a strict no Olive policy.

All these people crying foul over Facebook or Wikipedia, just prove how self-centered you are. Both of these sites don't discriminate. It is not a Muslims versus rest of the world kind of situation. All religions, races and sexes are treated and mistreated equally on these two sites so stop crying foul.

On your personal boycott opinion, all the best.

When Facebook released its latest feature, Facebook Connect, in early May, the fast-growing social media company did not get quite the reaction it was hoping for.

Instead of accolades, Facebook was confronted with a mob of angry users, many of whom took to their blogs, detailing their frustrations with the site and sometimes, threatening to quit it.

Embittered by the new features and what they deemed Facebook's lack of concern for their personal data, two Canadian Facebook users - Matthew Milan and Joseph Dee - set up QuitFacebookDay.com, inviting users to join them in opting out of the site on May 31.

On his personal blog, Milan stated that while he believes "it's acceptable for organisations to collect and use comprehensive personal data from individuals, they must do it in a way that [gives individuals] fair choices to decide how that data is used, and [is] done with the intent of serving the best interests of current (and future) society as a whole".

Privacy battles

Launched in 2004 by Harvard University student Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook was intended as a semi-private social networking site for Harvard students to interact with one another.

The site then expanded to include most universities across the US and Canada. In 2006 it opened its virtual doors to the public, allowing anyone over 13 and with a valid email address to create an account.

By early 2010, the site boasted 400 million users, 70 per cent of whom reside outside of the US.

Facebook's privacy features have changed considerably over time as well; whereas the site initially allowed users within specific, closed networks to interact with each other, the 2006 opening of the site meant that anyone could befriend another user, resulting in a backlash from some of Facebook's original users.

And in 2007, Facebook launched a public listing search, which meant that any user whose privacy settings were set to 'everyone' would have his name and profile photo listed in public search engines.

The latest changes to Facebook began in December 2009, when Facebook made large portions of user profiles - including the user's name, city of residence, photo, names of the user's friends and the causes they have signed on to - public by default.

The social networking site took things a step further this spring with the launch of Facebook Connect, an opt-out social feature intended to tie Facebook neatly to other parts of the web.

For many users, Facebook Connect was the final straw in a long line of privacy battles against the company.

The new feature meant that any items a user lists as things he likes must become public and linked to public profile pages.

Should the user choose not to link the items, then the items are removed entirely from the user's profile (although Facebook can still use them to target advertising).

Searching for alternatives

Following weeks of backlash over its latest features, Facebook finally responded by revising some of its privacy policies, making it easier for users to change their privacy settings and to turn off links with third-party services.

For some users, however, it may be a case of 'too little, too late'.

QuitFacebookDay.com has just over 25,000 users signed up.

While that number represents only .006 of the site's 400 million users, a recent study by IT security firm Sophos found that 60 per cent of Facebook users surveyed are considering leaving, while 16 per cent claim to have already done so.

The proliferation of new social networking sites such as Diaspora and the Muslim-oriented MillatFacebook seem to confirm the notion that users are looking for alternatives.

In the US, a number of groups have been lobbying for government regulations of social networking sites, undoubtedly with Facebook in mind.

Transparency vs. privacy

Despite Facebook's policy revisions, users may still have cause for concern.

Statements by Zuckerberg regarding privacy make it clear that he believes users should strive for utmost transparency, and recently, a reporter claimed that, when asked about Zuckerberg's feelings on privacy, a Facebook staffer responded: "He doesn't believe in it."

Additionally, groups like the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) are unconvinced that the changes to Facebook's privacy policies go far enough.

In an interview with CNet, EPIC director Marc Rotenberg said that although users have a fair amount of control over their information, they still cannot control how Facebook shares personal information with third-party services.

Hannah I want to break your record of most banned ids, I have had only one ban so far, I need to catch up.

As whyteknight said, stop personal attacks. Focus on the topic. Otherwise Sandeepkadian, I mean Sandeep, I mean whyteknight will not be happy.

One ID please.

Tarsiers, in the old days it was called "loincloth" (which Jesus apparently was clad in) not g string.

Dear Tarsiers, read following please:

As said by Jesus the Christ our lord, our savior:

Taken from the Gospel of Mathew, Chapter 5:

38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. 39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Love for Enemies

43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Jesus asked us to love our enemies, and leave justice in God hands, i know Jesus is God's son if someone offense Jesus is offending the Father, him our Father will take care...we have to obbey what we have been told to do... turn our cheak...

Blessings

Jesus dancing with a Gstring and stepping on the Cross while others are hanging the cross on thier butts:) very funny. Did anybody watch that clip?

The South Park guys are already putting together a South Park cartoon for the Cartoon Network, so maybe they'll take your drawings into consideration.

Well, not out of the ordinary, as that happens a lot around Christmas...traditionally. But you are more than welcome to join!

be "Everybody draw Jesus Day" Yalla:)

....

the comments war just proved my point.

I want to see how the west respond to a facebook competition

"Let's Draw Holocaust Cartoons"

in the name of freedom of speech.

Why don't we all draw holocaust, thus making fun of everything and everyone. for the 10 million + jews who (might) have suffered from its haunting memories.

iow, let's pinch each other where it pains most, untill we share the pain and grief for our histories and learn to respect & understand each other.

iow. let's just kill each other with our FB pages.

i hate facebook

nobody needs that shit...

yawnsss

is from my fav part time muslims

its true, that our country is in pity in terms of modern facilities for a daily life, but rarely u'll heard a single news for raping a woman, unlike in your country, culture and society, where its become part of a routine life.

@dot.com no amount of words will change your country and wat it has become today coz of ppl like you. It is very sad for me to see a country like yours in the modern day full of ruins and demolished buildings looks like a haunted place. people roam around with guns and women get raped daily. you did not answer the second part of my question about women as sex slaves?

they were not appreciated at all, for blowing up Buddha Statue, however those statues were of no use for thousands of years, UNLIKE ur support for THE BLOODY PRODUCTION OF PORNS rounding in shape of safe mission in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

and why those innocents who were living humans on earth, were on the fire of your civilized ANCESTORS

WK -- i got a free hour from my boss to be relaxed :P

what is the facts we all dont know, what if that if some one from other country come pakistan and play in the name of PAKISTAN. who is osama? where he is? where is TALIBAN? all the times change the statements that taliban in pakistan and sometimes taliban in iraq, afghanistan or in iran but in actually where, not a single person know about this. This is just a propaganda against islamic countries and specially for IRAN and PAKISTAN and this is the truth.

@dot.com so what is your meaning you blew up buddha for fun??? and you keep your women as sex slaves even the little ones so wats that? look at yourself before pointing fingers mister

Can you three STOP making personal attacks on each other.

if that was the reason for US & NATO Barbarism in Afghanistan, then u r too little kid to know more about the Iraq.

DP

u r seem not to be familiar with QL, its common on QL that the thread will change its track.

btw i rarely found intelligent, healthy and worthy discussion on QL.

@dot.com wake up from your funny dream dickhead andlearn to live in the real world. what century r we in and what did u guys do to the buddha statue? can you talk abt that? Now dont blame it on US now

no matter how advance and high tech they have, but finally they will put the tale in their a77 holes, just a trailer couple of days b4 in .........

btw,

why are u offended, if i asked for your ANCESTORS history and their role in HOLOCAUST???

will u dare to tell us, why and wat exactly they did???

Dot.Com you are a disgrace...the holocaust has nothing to do with this topic....obviously you are not capable of intelligent conversation so crawl back under your rock!

@dot.com it is people like you who get others kicked in the butt and when a bullet strikes your forehead you scream INJUSTICE.

why are u offended, if i asked for your ANCESTORS history and their role in HOLOCAUST???

@dot.com your are the real psycho.And it's not hard to spot you you are showing your true colors now...feel scared of god and do not travel outside your hole. You will be dragged thru our streets naked if found here

u need not to worry for future misfortunes, lets not worry, how to face it.

BTW, u didn't tell me, wat exactly ur ancestors did IN HOLOCAUST??? or do u really feel ashame for that?

@dot.com our ancestors did exactly what you will do soon. Get lost now will ya

Raven

i'm really curios to know the dark face of european history.

give it a rest Dot.Com, what the hell has the holocaust got to do with this FB issue?

will u PLZ tell us, wat exactly ur ancestors did IN HOLOCAUST???

@dot.com and u must be acting in porn

why are people even mentioning the FB cartoon comp and the holocaust in the same sentence....thats just bloody ridiculous to say the least....keep things in perspective eh!

I don't see everyone calling Pakistan a Terriost country but you can't ignore the facts at the moment, Pakistan is having more than its fair share of terriost related issues....but thats not my point, my point was why don't they block the link rather than the entire site

u must be Roberto the lier, who has a longer life and the only and lonely long last victim of the bloody European barbaric history, when they killed, slaughtered, putted on fire and made isolated innocents jews (if its true)in europe, so plz will u tell us, wat exactly ur ancestors did with these ppl???

@ntasa - how the hell can u compare this to the holocaust? do ya have any idea wat happened during the holocaust b***h?

Then why everyone said that PAKISTAN is a TERRORIST country just because of few people?? plz answer this.

slaver I have no prob with your freedom of speech and right to protest, more power to you mate....the sensible thing to do is to block that particular link on FB rather than blocking the entire sight...

Qatar Must ban FaceBook...

Qatar Must ban FaceBook...

Qatar Must ban FaceBook...

This is how you do it; no blocks, no bans, no insults, no threats, just dignity. Be a grown up.

I urge you to watch and participate if you wish.

&feature=related

...

So what you propose is that YOUR freedom of speech entitles you to call for a government to block facebook(if this is the case then of course you have that right)

But....

If however, that government acts on YOUR request then it denies EVERYONE ELSES freedom of speech. And your freedom of speech CAN NOT override anyone else's, and vica versa.

What you can do to exercise your freedom of speech, in a mature and civilised way, is to counter the event by engaging in spreading the word of your faith in a celebratory way on facebook on May 20th. There is already various Muslim campaigns set up to do this - just check out Youtube to find a myriad such posts; here is one such post:

&feature=related

then what the hell France is ban veil in FRANCE? and why you guys dont understand that this is not a personal issues, this is against our religion and we have full rite to protest. Freedom of Speech is not only for non muslims, we muslims want ban on FB and you guys dnt want so you share your opinions and we continue with our protest. whats wrong guys.

Raven I guess its like the effect of the little fire in the forest which can cause mayhem for all other creatures living in it.

The best is not to let idiots start the fire in the first place.

ignore

when you guys kick off about banning FB for everyone, well FB is a version/avenue for freedom of speech....if FB offends you so much don't use it....man its a simple solution...don't drag the rest of us into it

start bashing your country and religion and if you get upset then i will use your words IS IT TOO MUCH OF A WISH FOR PEOPLE TO GROW UP?

is it too much of a wish for people to grow up?

we just use method FREEDOM OF SPEECH. whats wrong with you guys.

so are you saying rezymalik that non-muslims who are using FB have no respect for Islam?

very well said Jut, the voice of reason and common sense has spoken!! Well done that man!

it should be banned over here at least... we are not forcing anyone not to use FB, but urging muslims to stop using or delete accounts... one thing commonly seen in this thread, non muslims have no respect about islam hence they are in favour of FB...

propaganda on media were not enough though they started it on net too... ~!~

Will they ban FB in Qatar?

1)people hold competition on FB to get a reaction from offended muslims and prove a point on freedom of speech.

2)offended muslims cry about competition and give the competition publicity.

3)people in step 1 win.

Shame, because it could have been...

1)people hold competition on FB to get a reaction from offended muslims and prove a point on freedom of speech.

2)offended muslims ignore them

3)epic fail for people in step 1, offended muslims look mature and rational in the eyes of everyone else.

Eco on the contrary, I hate all humans but I still don't judge them. Only God can judge a person, you are naive to keep passing your judgement about others.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=108608309180745&ref=ts

see thy did this....

so if u r qatari i would suggest if u hv some wasta thn go and get FB blocked in qatar

but

but

but

only after we give an answer to them.... so wait for tomorrow

see. today i simply delete my account from FB. may be it dosent make any difference but just for my self satisfaction but what about muslim satisfaction? i fully support that FB should ban, at-least for one day.

there is no place in Islam for image makers

ha ha ha ha..................lmfao

You have the right but remember, they just want to upset you with that event and get a reaction from you.

by reacting this way you are playing into the hands of people who get great pleasure out of maligning religion. it happns to all religions once in a while. why not just ignore them and get on with your own life??

this is our rite.dont forget. FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

see slaver I know it is offensive to you and I am not asking anyone to stop from protesting against it but if you choose to ignore it then the very purpose of that link on Facebook is defeated.

why don't the offended muslims just stop using FB...why try and force it on the rest of us

ntasa relax, we will discuss this again when you are bit more relaxed :)

Wait let me search for a good joke to post to lighten you up.

we should respect wk comments as every person thinks different but WK, one thing you also understand that FB make this propaganda against Muslims and we only request muslim countries to ban FB like any hindu can ask QATAR gov to not give Qatari Citizenship, i know that mostly hindus now dindt see and comment on MF Hussein paintings so same, we as a muslim dont want FB.

ntasa, are you on your monthlies?

take a chill pill, or sleeping pill at the very least.

you didn't answer me, did you post on any internet forum that M. F. Hussein should not be welcome here, NO so you kept quiet, so by your very own reasoning which you are trying to force on me, you supported it. Don't you have a heart

many talk abt ISLAM, regardless of what's it teachings.

Its STRICTLY forbidden in ISLAM to say/do anything bad to other religions (written in Quran).

there are lunatics everywhere,.

you can't justify evil with bigger evil .. will ya?

ntasa once again, I am not doing anything against anyone. I just don't think that facebook should be blocked.

They were upset for the very same reason why you are upset about these cartoons but did you ever hear any Hindu asking people of other religions to be upset with Hussein? You have the right to be upset about what offends you but don't expect the whole world to be upset because you are. Muslims should boycott FB if they want, why asking to block FB through which thousands of expats keep in touch with their friends and families.

I am against MF hussain or anyone disrespecting, demeaning, maligning any religion.

does MF hussan qatari citizenship, or any bad things from muslims, give you and anyone right to do thie henious act towards muslims Holy Prophet ?

what kind of person you are ..

don't you have a heart ?

why mostly indians upset when QATAR offer MF HUSSEIN qatari citizenship? we never support MF hussein for his objectionable portraits of hindu's GOD as Islam teach us that all muslims should respect other religion and its values.

ntasa firstly I am not disrespecting anybody.

Secondly when M.F.Hussain who offended 800 Million plus Hindus by drawing objectionable portraits of Hindu Gods was welcomed in Qatar and granted Qatari citizenship, did you get upset?

Why are you expecting us to get upset now?

WK,

ME .. ONLY ME ..

its 1.7 billion people on this planet, who you are disrespecting.

i can not use examples to explain, but no one including you have a sincere heart to feel the gravity of this situation.

Do you BELIEVE in heaven or hell, afterlife, god (ALLAH), do you have prophets.

ok, easy .. do you have parents, whome you respect.

How do you feel abt a group badmouting about them .. what would you do ???

Govt orders to ban Facebook for indefinite period

The Federal Government on Wednesday ordered to ban Facebook for an indefinite period following decision by the Lahore High Court. The row started when social networking site's management allowed members to draw Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) caricatures.

Earlier during the day, Justice Ejaz Chaudhry said that the government should record its protest at international level.

Hearing a petition regarding blasphemous page on Facebook, Chaudhry Zulfiqar Advocate said that Facebook hurt the emotions of Muslims with the publication of said page about blasphemous caricatures but the government became a silent spectator.

Deputy Attorney General Naveed Inayat Malim said that PTA has blocked the blasphemous link of Facebook. Director Telecom Mudassar Hussain said that there would be great loss after the complete closure of Facebook. Lawyers and civil society representatives protested the statement of Director Telecom.

The government yesterday had directed the PTA on the orders of LHC to block the blasphemous caricatures link on Facebook. After the directive, the PTA took necessary steps and blocked the link on Facebook.

Islamabad: Sweden embassy closed for indefinite period

The Sweden embassy in Pakistan has been closed for indefinite period following the recent caricature issue reported on social networking site Facebook.

According to embassy sources, the embassy in Islamabad and other offices across the country have been closed for indefinite period. Strong criticism and reaction came from Pakistan when social networking site's management allowed members to draw Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) caricatures.

Pakistan Foreign Office has been informed about the closure of the offices, sources added. Some ambassadorial staff members have also been asked to leave the country. Security has been beefed up around the embassy.

Eco you never enlightened us, who gave you the right to judge others???

ntasa but you don't care about anyone else too. As long as something on facebook didn't offend you, you didn't call for a boycott though there are thousands of offensive pages there offending people from all faiths and beliefs. You only got this idea of boycotting when you got offended, why do you expect others to be different??

to all those, who discourage FB boycott or claim it doesn't matter .. well, three points to ponder.

-you obviously do not feel the same abt blasphemy as muslims do.

-you certainly don't care about anyone other than yourself.

-you don't want (deliberatly) to be part of anything positive. or to do anything to put down the fire, peacefully.

we'll talk to the ministry, yes .. in the mean time enjoy a short story :

The Starfish Story

A young boy walked along a stretch of beach skimming shells into the waves, The boy noticed the distant figure of an old man. Curious to see what, the man was doing, he dropped his shells and ran through the sand.

As he approached, the boy noticed the man repeatedly stooping to pick up objects and throw them beyond the breaking surf. The boy also noticed that the sand was strewn with thousands of starfish, washed ashore by the out going tide.

The boy watched the man repeat his actions to returning starfish to the cool waters before the became lifeless, baked by the noonday sun.

The boy spoke. "I see you throwing starfish into the ocean old man. Why are you doing that?"

"To make a difference," replied the man.

'Surely," said the boy, with thousands of starfish all over the beach what possible difference could you make?"

The man smiled knowingly as he reached for yet another starfish. As he tossed it far from the shore, he said,"It makes a difference to this one, son - it makes a difference to this one.'

The boy left the old man and thought about his words. As he walked along the -beach, once again alone, he began picking up objects - tossing them into the sea. However, instead of sea shells this time, they were starfish. The boy was returning them to their home.

He learned a powerful lesson that day. He discovered that he too could make a difference.

==

are you ready to make a difference.

do you feel a social / human responsibility to be part of move .. to create awareness amongst us, humans towards tolerance and mutual respect ?

delete your Facebook account. plz

coz of their shape. They are very good for health.

how can i join FB ?

ntasa....Instead of boycotting FB, how about banning the Internet??? In that way nothing will upset you. If you find something that upsets you on the TV, boycott the TV also, and the list goes on. If you gets upset with your friend, boycott him/her so he/she don't upset you.

My goodness...when will you grow up? If it upsets you, then don't read/watch/listen to it. If you are really into boycotting it, go to the Ministry and propose it, rather than spreading your word in the Internet, where all your upsets began. They have banned pornographic websites because it upsets everyone by it's immorality. You want action, go to the Ministry and ask them to ban the FB...see how many people will get upset and they'll then ask you to be boycotted. :P

Isn't it Ironic? What if i say you upset me with your words, should i ask everyone to boycott you?

account in FB. this is my way of protest. and films so i dint like films any more. TV. no have time to watch.

my friend i totally condenm all those pages as a muslim...... islam teaches me to respect other's beliefs and i do it..

but the authorities of facebook hv allowed these things under the clause of FREEDOM OF SPEECH..

and if it means to allow any one to insult others religion thn i think that FB shud either block all religious or anti-religious groups and activities or other thing is tht if not done so thn FB shud b blocked

FB should be banned cause no1 is working nowadays :P

omershah I am just saying you should be condemning all those pages which make fun of any religion or faith. How is that making fun of anything?

ntasa: relax, my friend. Clearly you have misunderstood my meaning and intentions here and don't seem to be in the mood for a debate. So I will back out of your thread and leave it to the others.

Cheers.

i told no diplomatic answers.... dnt try to prove urself right now..... u r not supporting it but surely u r making fun out of it... and as a muslim it hurts my feeling... so i wud not comment anymore bout it coz if its freedom of speech let thm use it....

you probably don't believe in anything,

but small thing brings BIG change ..

the world itself is proving it everyday ..

for Khwaga, for you only one night behind bars (drunk in public) would be enough to change your whole mindset.

may be you'd offer kalma and start praying after that :))))

omershah I can't see anyone supporting it here. Are there some comments that I can't read but you can???

I think they need our QL MOD in facebook..... am i right?????

if it is called the freedom of speech thn

lemme call all the non-muslims who r supporting this cause nd all of you going against it over here as son of bitches...... as mother fuckers.....

does tht insult u?? r u offended??

evn whteva u write in response am dead sure u will be surely abusing me in ur hearts :(

and am also sure tht QL may b delete my account... but as it is freedom of speech so dnt u all use all those diplomatic answers..... coz for me my religion is alot greater to anything else....

Further more, I would like to boycott getting hit on my older, married men. I'd like to boycott that one forever!

WK: agreed. I've decided to boycott getting drunk on the corniche for today. Tomorrow, though, game on!

What will one day boycott of Facebook achieve anyway, boycott it permanently I say or is it just a token protest?

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court Wednesday ordered authorities to block Facebook temporarily over a competition encouraging users to post caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) on the social networking site.

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.

Controversy erupted in the conservative Muslim country last month when a Facebook user set up a page called "Draw Mohammed Day", inviting people to send in their caricatures of the Muslim prophet on May 20.

The move angered thousands of young people and Muslim faithful in Pakistan, unleashing an online campaign and isolated protests that grabbed the government's attention and the controversial page was blocked on Tuesday.

But a group of lawyers went a step further Wednesday and petitioned the court to order a blanket ban on Facebook in Pakistan.

Justice Ejaz Chaudhry of the Lahore High Court directed the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) to block Facebook until May 31, when the court will open a detailed hearing into the case.

The PTA Director told the court the government has already blocked the particular link. About complete ban, he said internet services could face problems if the complete website was banned.

However, the court ordered complete ban till May 31.

A large number of religious clerics, students and lawyers were present in the courtroom.

http://www.geo.tv/5-19-2010/65221.htm

where r all other muslim countries????

ntasa you should just be ignoring what offends you. You can never make internet a politically correct platform.

As for why European countries don't treat the cartoonists with the same laws that they apply to Nazis, well the cartoonists haven't killed anyone yet.

ntasa: what does this have to do with wikipedia?

Laws against Holocaust denial

Holocaust denial is illegal in a number of European countries. In addition, the European Union has issued a directive to combat racism and xenophobia, which makes provision for member states criminalising Holocaust denial, with a maximum prison sentence of between one and three years.

Also, the Council of Europe's 2003 Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cyber Crime, concerning the prosecution of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems includes an article entitled Denial, gross minimisation, approval or justification of genocide or crimes against humanity, although this does not have the status of law.

Of the countries that ban Holocaust denial, a number (Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Romania) were among the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and many of these also ban other elements associated with Nazism, such as Nazi symbols

==

Why not for such cartoonists, such laws apply ?

2 All.

plz note WHILE

I'm Against all Racism, All bigoted Fanatism, All hatred in the Name of Religion, All death threat threads, Websites praising genocide (including holocaust), All links, talks, comments in anyway demeaning, maligning or making fun of any religion no matter where it come from.

I reserve my right to feel and complain the pain from anyone's deliberate or un-intentional provocative & disgraceful acts against my religion. Whether its a cartoonists or commentors or whoever.

Such things are normally done in the name of EDUCATION, to NORMALIZATION OF SOCIETIES and FREEDOM.

I am not saying, this act is bad and that act is OK.

I am saying, ALL SUCH THINGS ARE BAD .. that hurt feelings of a significant living beings of this world (if you care).

instead of joining hands, .. you all are justifying (calling me hypocrite) that its "OK" ..you are one insignificant fool to call for boycott; look there are other sites against others, they don't complaint .. so why don't u fight for them with us first.

well, I am with you in the first place. let's fight against all such links, threads and stopp supporting online stinking plague.

I know i'm talking too a wall / yes, but just thought may be there are some sensible guys with a kind heart and soul, who regardless of their religion, color or culture, condemn such atrocity, unjust act of humility against a religion .. which will only increase hatred and tension in this world.

Ok. I'll go find some rope...

Don't you realize yet WK? Only Muslim feelings count. The rest of us can go hang.

ntasa: I'm probably going to regret getting into this with you, but here goes. 1) wikipedia is a site to which ANYONE can post things including falsities and pictures. 2) when did wikipedia prosecute someone with life imprisonment for hurting Jewish feelings?

ntasa I am sorry but you are being hypocritical right now. There are thousands of Anti-Jews pages on the internet, maybe in Millions.

You will find over a thousand threads on QL itself in which Hinduism is being made fun of in the worst kind of way.

Neo-Nazis are also prospering in cyber space and one quick search on google will show you hundreds of thousands of pages as well.

Did you get upset over them?

The "perpetrators" are responding to death threats issued to two cartoonists that in no way represented the Prophet Mohammed or his likeness in a bad way, but even so were bullied by Islamist websites and death threats to change their program.

But I'm sure you knew that.

wikipeda

They've agreed to remove caricatures/cartoons of our Holy Prophet, once there are enough votes.

there were voting, online spams and so many things in the name of freedom of speech, but still you find caricaturs on wikipedia.

Obviously, the perpetrator are having henious and wickid intentions behind that act of moral emptiness.

will you allow something, anything that hurts feelings of 1.7billion muslims,

while you prosecute someone with life imprisonment, if he hurt feelings of less than 10million jews.

isn't it hypocracy and double standard ?

ntasa: allow me to introduce you to a friend of mine named Sarcasm. Clearly, you two haven't met...

LOL. I'm sorry, I'm the one with my head up my a77? LOL.

what do you mean ..

"boycott newspapers, tv shows, books, movies, etc"

Are you nuts.. FB for you is like newspapers, tv shows, books, movies ?? and carrots offend you ?? I'm sorry, you should take you head out of your sorry @@@ please.

I know you are hurt .. just don't know why?

Facebook is facebook today with a zillion MINUS me.

its everyone's right to choose.. what's so wrong about it.

Funny I don't see him asking to boycott all the neo-Nazi fan pages & anti-Jewish fan pages on Facebook. :P

ntasa: what is your beef with wikipedia? I think I'm behind the times on this one. I know about the Facebook issue.

Yes, please boycott facebook. While you're at it boycott newspapers, tv shows, books, movies, etc. That way nothing will ever upset you.
