| Who are behind Facebook conspiracy? |
| 2010-05-30 |
| By Sajjad Shaukat Recently, the sacrilegious caricatures competition of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) inspired by an American cartoonist on Facebook triggered protests across the Muslim world in general and Pakistan in particular. On the orders of Lahore High Court, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) banned access to Facebook including YouTube and restricted access to Wikipedia in view of what it called "growing sacrilegious content". Apparently, people from the Western and Islamic worlds take the blasphemous drawings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) as an individual act of an American cartoonist and internet users, but in fact, it is a secret conspiracy of the Jewish lobbies to manipulate the world phenomena of terrorism against the Muslims. Indian lobbies are also working with those of the Jews in inciting the sentiments of Muslims, particularly Pakistanis. In this regard, Indian secret agency, RAW and Israeli Mossad are in collusion in this conspiracy against the Islamic world, launched through the Facebook. In fact, plotters wanted to fulfil a number of sinister designs by using the controversial Facebook competition. Notably, any representation of the Prophet Muhammad in such a way is deemed un-Islamic and blasphemous by the Muslims. The conspirators used the Facebook because they knew that entire website would annoy the Muslim users, especially young adults--because the social networking website is so popular among them and they spend most of their time on it. They intended to discourage the internet users of the Islamic World as the Facebook is also used for communication and education purposes. In Pakistan, countrywide protests were launched against the Facebook caricatures. Pakistani protesters shouted "Death to Facebook", "Death to America", and burnt US flags on May 21, venting growing anger over "sacrilegious" caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on the Internet. Protests in various cities of Pakistan continued for a number of days and the protesters branded the US the "root cause of all mischief." This is what the conspirators wanted. As a matter of fact, by inciting the feelings of the people of the Islamic countries, they intended to create a greater resentment against the Western World in general and the United States in particular--and to create a rift between the Western and Islamic states. This was especially observed in Pakistan where leaders of the religious parties, journalists, students and other organizations delivered emotional speeches on this emotional matter. |

| #3 LOL the "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" page was very funny (when it wasn't being stupidly rude and offensive like with pictures of porn etc). I drew my own mohammed very proudly. It was nice. I put jesus in there too so he wouldn't be lonely. But the facebook page got taken down. Then it went up again. Now it is down again. Very disappointing free speech rooted. It just diverts back to your own home page. Freedom from religion and freedom to criticise religion are very important human rights. We must have the ability to lampoon and debate ideas including sacred cows in the sea of opinions. That is a right I am not willing to surrender at the altar of being "PC" or not offending the minorities. |
