The follow'n POST is a mail by Mr. Zeeshan Ali Rana; Visit'n faculty, IBIT, Punjab University & Student of LUMS Ph.D ! This mail really provok'd the thoughts in me and i found it quite worthy of shar'n
An Islamic Scholar Mufti Kamal-ud-Din (LUMS Faculty) discussed the recent activity of drawing caricatures of our beloved Prophet (SAW). This lecture was held on 20th May 2010 in LUMS Masjid. Here is the abstract of the talk (originally written by a PhD Candidate Junaid Akhtar (LUMS)):
"The character of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), is the best character possible in a man (Quran gives a shahadat on that) so if anyone in the world is making a fun of that, it is not those Europeans in denmark, for they don't know anything about him, the real cartoons are us muslims. They are only poking fun on us, because of us. But the Sheikh said that our Prophet wouldn't be worried about those europeans who don't know him. He would be embarrassed of us (the Muslims). We don't value or follow the sunnah and hence are the best insult of Prophet ourselves. In short he said the muslims should not worry about the kuffar doing toheen-e-sunnah, rather the muslims should refrain from toheen-e-sunnah and worry about tajdeed-e-sunnah. Furthermore, he said, all forms of registering your protest are fine and should be done as a temporary quick fix, but that's not the permanent/sustainable solution."

Another Islamic Scholar Ahmad Javed says that we Muslims should seek forgiveness from Allah and get united. Please spread the word that we Muslims should now seek Astaghfaar and stay firm on our Taubah.

YUPSSS ... Twitter is finally back ..... yippie .. as far as the rest of the bann'd sites are concern'd... I guess if u want to bring 'em to knees ... there must be some other bann'n of products, fast food chains, imports etc must be carried out to ensure the needful to be done !
Twitter also gets into the WAVE !
Recently, i try'd to log on to Twitter ... nd wat i found

I m recall'n the imagination i had in ma mind whn China kick'd out Google earlier this year. I try'd to imagine the time whn i lost GOOGLE !!! nd the nightmare is com'n true. I m a market'n consultant and research analyst and major pary of my research is related to the current happen'ns ... which requires labourious time and search'n. Thanx to TWITTER the precious time was getting saved as i was gett'n the latest news and tech feeds regularly within a couple of clicks!

Bann'n Facebook in Pakistan
Before read'n this post, i want to declare that i m by the Grace of ALLAH ALMIGHTY and the Sadqah of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) a Muslim and I m proud to be.
20th May, the Muhammad (PBUH) day , a shameful act; once again initiated by the story board writers of South Park and ignit'd nd fully supported by the facebook supporters all over the world to hurt Muslims emotionally as well as religiously. This act was condemned by every Muslim all over world. Thanx to Twitter and Times Magazine to promote it vigorously.
In Pakistan, the things went as expect'd, sign'n petitions, mak'n counter groups, report'n pages and groups over facebook, causes etc!
The things really turn'd tables for Facebook when the High Court of Lahore head'd under Justice Ijaz took a decision upon the petition on 18th may, 2010. Lahore High Court banned facebook and the order put into action within a couple of hours. Initially, the Ministry of Information and Technology block'd the pages contain'n such shameful and condemnable content;
This was not the end, the PTA also block'd FLICKR and YOUTUBE !
I am post totally against it. Thing is that V act like pigeons; when a pigeon sees a cat; it simply shuts its eyes and think'n that the cat just disappear'd .. whether on the other hand, the pigeon gets disappear'd by the cat !
Bann'n facebook in Pakistan is the same act of Pigeon. The whole blogger community was brac'n itself to counter it. All the bloggers, Facebook users, gonna post the proper image of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and overshadow their shameful act of insult (Nauzubilla)!
The times are changing and we must know how to cater it. This is not the first time and i can bet its not the last time either. They gonna start it again after a few times ... thn .. wat v gonna do? Permanently block it, ok how about the rest of internet? Block it too???
Facebook is the #1 tool of marketing and a highly beneficial for the entrepreneurs as well as business people to interact and globally expand as well as gather expertise n' exposure.
I must say that the gates must be open'd and V r ready to counter such acts and v should know. bann'n facebook or You tube or protest'n by burn'n tires in the cities won't do any good !
Point to ponder is .... R v jst a flock of pigeons ??
