From the article:“Pakistan has blocked access to the popular YouTube website because of content deemed offensive to Islam.

Its telecommunications authority ordered internet service providers to block the site until further notice.”

Honestly, I want to be shocked and incensed by this story, but the only real surprise that I have is that it took them this long to ban YouTube. I’m still waiting for the more hardcore Sharia countries (those who follow a strict code of Islamic Law) to shut down ALL communications technologies. — I mean, do you know how many websites there are that make fun of Muhammad and Islam? What about the ones that print parts of the Quran? You can’t have TV or phone service either because what if people were to see scandalous pictures of grown men without beards or women in various states of undress.

I do not mean this in any way as an attack on Islam — but on the mindset that ANY followers of a faith would believe that the best interests of their followers would be served through the wholesale denying of the free flow of information
