Cartoon Controversy Is Banning Facebook The Solution - Shaykh Kamaluddin |
I would urge all to have a listen to the lecture by Shaykh Kamaluddin (available on youtube) on how we (Muslims) should respond to these attempts to engage Muslims in a negative manner...it really is worth the listen!

And only the most naive would believe that there is no way around the ban. So what is worse? That we ban something and still have vast amount of traffic to the site and possibly to whichever particular page is under question now?
A very prominent personality of Pakistan, from the earliest times, made a profound remark: Never make a law you cannot implement.
And Allah knows best...
