Pakistan bans Facebook

Facebook incurred the wrath of many religious fundamentalists in Pakistan after it allowed the sketch of their Prophet Mohammed. A page titled "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" was up on Facebook one day, exhorting users to upload drawings of Mohammed in order to protest against the unwarranted reaction hinging on violence of extremists of Islam against ones who had made a portrait of Mohammed. It led to hundreds of images being uploaded on Facebook intended to hurt the religious sentiments of Muslims. The Pakistan Government reacted imposing a ban on Facebook.
