One Facebook, Two Faces: A Piece by a Virtually Dead Man

I had been banned from Facebook and my account had been disabled a night before Facebook was banned in Pakistan. Before all this happened, I visited the blasphemous page “Draw Muhammad Day” and the content on the page hurt me badly. Once again a certain group of westerners called it the “freedom of expression” and went on to show extremism – something they always verbally disassociate themselves from. As a response to this lunacy, I thought it best to find out how they respond to others’ right of freedom of expression – I created an Adolf Hitler page right away and it read, “To all those who think they can ridicule Islam in the name of freedom of expression and yet punish those who speak of the genius of Hitler”. The comment on the wall read, “Let’s hit them where it hurts them the most”. Further I added some photos of the Fuhrer, Nazi Party and the Italian Footballer Paolo Di Canio who was banned and fined by FIFA two years ago for performing the “controversial” Roman Salute which according to him gave him a sense of belonging to his people. Within an hour tens of people joined the Hitler page which was named “H | T L E R”. The very next time I tried to log in I found out that my profile had been disabled for ‘violation of Facebook Regulations’.

Invented by Muslim’s used by the world.
In 9th century Spain, Muslim inventor Abbas ibn Firnas designed a flying machine -- hundreds of years before da Vinci drew plans of his own.
so i know we have heard a lot from our parents, grandparents, teachers and historians as to how great the Muslims were and how they invented most of the things. You must have also heard about Muslim’s being really good eye doctors, dentists and flying around on glider kind of things. Some of them must have looked to you like jokes, to me they sometimes felt that way as theres a famous qoute that history usually is Biased. So it depends on who is writing it. But this latest post that i found on London, Englands CNN online edition opened my eyes and so will it do with you. Read on for learning a whole lot about our religious heritage and knowing how we were different than we are now and how education and research was much more important to us when we were not just terrorism or Oil gifted nations.
