Pakistan establishes Muslim Facebook
[Iran Press TV Latest] Pakistan has established an alternative to Facebook after the website was banned for hosting a sacrilegious cartoon contest about Prophet Mohammed (PTUI!). MillatFacebook helps connect users to 1.57 billion Muslims as well as what it describes as "sweet people from other religions." Like Ahmadis? It also aims to offer an alternative to a site that has been criticized for its confusing privacy controls, NDTV reported. Thousands of people demonstrated in Pakistan on May 19 to protest against a Facebook page that encouraged users to post images of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH.) The Pakistani government ordered Internet service providers to block Facebook after a group of Islamic lawyers won a court order requiring Pakistan to block the US-based social networking site until May 30.
