All that being said in the previous post, I am now moved to think if opposing this ruling (and that too so vocally) makes me a Blasphemer. I was one of those people who did not believe in the boycotting/banning of Facebook previously. Now I am part of the clan that objects on a similar ruling on banning of another set of web sites. So does it mean I am not “Muslim” enough? Do I not love my Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) enough? Am I some kind of a “Murtid” or “Mushrik”? Am I an “ultra modern” person, just born to Muslim parents, who doesn’t care much for religion? What am I?
If believing in tactically handling delicate matters instead of irrationally or violently, then yes I am a blasphemer. If considering actually doing what our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) actually said more important than unnecessary discussions and unruly processions, then yes I am a blasphemer. If having faith in peace than in violence, then yes I am a blasphemer. And I am proud to be one.
May Allah show all Muslims the light; the right path; and rid them of all darkness; the ignorance.

Lahore High Court Gone Bonkers
I think the Lahore High Court has gone bonkers!
On May19, 2010 they issued a ruling to block Facebook and 800 additional sites; the reason being display of blasphemous content by these web sites. That time the ruling was strictly adhered to (within a few days) and the sites were blocked. Some from those 800 blocked sites were Twitter, YouTube and Flickr too. Soon after being banned, the sites started to get unbanned till the final bone of contention; Facebook; was unbanned too in about two weeks time.
Now they have again passed an equally ridiculous ruling (almost a month after the initial absurd ruling, on June 25, 2010) to block the following nine web sites:
They say that these sites are promoting blasphemous content. If this is true then why not ban the whole Internet in the country. People can after all access ANY kind of content even with sites banned. And while they are at it, why not ban the TV too as it is not all holy. Let’s spread the madness and confine all Pakistanis to their homes. The world is after all a dirty place and displays/promotes blasphemous content in some nook and corner.
Let’s all go bonkers! I know I will definitely join the club if any more sites are banned in the country in the name of Islam and the love for our prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
