facebook disrespects muslims

[formerlurker]

While looking for facebook's new application in which you can check to see where you account is being logged in from, I came upon this posting:

When I joined Facebook, I received a message saying "Welcome", but when I used Facebook I found that Facebook’s policy allows disrespecting the most beloved person to me, Prophet Mohammad, may peace and blessings be upon him.

When I invited my friends to Facebook, I thought we can connect and share, but every time we gathered in a large group or page related to Islam, a Facebook Moderator suddenly deleted it.

Then when I asked the Facebook Team to show respect to my Religion, Prophets, and Holy Book, they ignored my feelings and did not fulfill any of my simple demands.

Below, we have listed 2 strong undebatable proofs for your double standards and discrimination favoring Jews and Christians while oppressing Muslims.

1st Proof:

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, a Facebook’s spokeswoman said that the 4 Islamic Facebook Pages were deleted only because it was using the quick invitations JavaScript code, and not because of the Islamic content. Well, let’s see what the largest Christian Facebook Page is using, it's the very same JavaScript Code. The following link is a page cached by Google that proves your discrimination favoring Christians:

See, your ‘Freedom of Speech’ policy is available for everyone, except Muslims. Islamic Facebook Pages are deleted as soon as it gets big, while Christian Pages are left untouched, even when breaking the rules.

2nd Proof:

During the ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!’ events you ignored millions of reports and complaints from Muslims about the 100,000+ Fans Facebook Page that was calling for that disrespectful event, while it took you only a few hours to delete a tiny Anti-Holocaust page (76 Fans) that might have hurt the feelings of Jews. The following link is a page cached by Google that proves your discrimination favoring Jews:
http://bit.ly/b4QaQu (Direct link is blocked by Facebook Adminstartion)

So now it's very clear that your Facebook’s policy against hate speech is only one sided, towards Muslim. Anti-Jewish content is removed almost immediately while Anti-Islamic content is allowed to spread.

Facebook Team; although you have double standards, both of them were way below my expectations. Is Facebook just a tool controlled by those who treat some people better than others? You treat your own people in one way and Muslims in another?

Please, Mark, ask your spokeswoman to not mention any more excuses for your discriminative acts. The Christian page has over 1,400,000 Likes/Fans, your admins wouldn’t have missed it unless they are all blind. They saw it and left it grow, using the same JavaScript Code, on purpose. Besides, the Anti-Holocaust page had only 76 Likes/Fans, that needs telescope to be seen between 500 Million Facebook members!

Facebook Team, we have given you a 2 weeks notice to fulfill our 3 simple demands, but you arrogantly ignored the whole case while world-famous news outlets discussed it. Accordingly, we will replace our 3 demands with 3 decisions; our demands are off the table now.

Our decisions are:

1- Minimizing the usage of Facebook by Muslims during the holy month of http://madina.com/ , then gradually decreasing Facebook usage by Muslims till permanently quitting Facebook by 1st Muharram, 1432 (7th December, 2010). Muslims who use their Facebook accounts for introducing Islam to the world and clearing misconceptions about Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, will neither leave Facebook nor decrease their activity.

2- Creating 4 new Facebook Pages instead of the 4 that were aggressively deleted, and inviting all Muslims on Facebook to these four pages. Be sure to stay away from these pages if you wish that we stay away from your blog. The new pages links are:

http://facebook.com/Prophet.Fb
http://facebook.com/Religion.Fb
http://facebook.com/Quran.Fb
http://facebook.com/Ramadan.Fb

3- Creating Facebook Page that gathers and connects all Muslims who want to use Facebook to introduce Islam to the world and clear misconceptions about Prophet Mohammad, PBUH. This page will manage and synchronize all Islamic Facebook Pages, Groups, and Events. We want to make it clear to anyone who will read this message that we will introduce Islam to Non-Muslims in a peacful manner.

My story with Facebook
http://stories.facebook.com/?key=4c48c871c81f9605960001ac

"Invite people to the path of your Lord with sound planning and good advice, and debate with them in the best possible way; indeed your Lord knows well who has strayed from His path, and He knows well the guided ones."
~ Qur'an: [An-Nahl 16:125]

Peace,
A Facebook Muslim

Facebook Admins, Moderators, Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Sheryl Sandberg, and Matt Cohler;

Although you have attended the world's best communication skills courses you have been most successful in growing great hatred and hostility between you and Muslims around the world, but seriously this time you have caused an almost unrepairable damage.

Only a few weeks after your irresponsible behavior during the Everybody Draw Mohammed Day events you most aggressively removed four of the largest Islamic Facebook Pages of total fans/likes over 2.5 million Facebook members. That happened on the morning of Thursday 8th July, 2010.

These four Facebook pages were totally peaceful and free of any hate speech, but you removed it ignoring the feelings of more than 2.5 Million Facebook Muslims and disrespecting over 1.5 Billion Muslims worldwide.

And now since that is what it had come down to you, with your irresponsibility and fake preach of freedom of speech, have left us no other choice other than permanently boycotting Facebook. And now we are giving you a 2 weeks notice - ending at midnight of 21st July, 2010 - to fulfill our demands or else we will leave Facebook for http://madina.com/.

Our demands are:

1- Reactivating the four pages that have been disabled
2- Adding a Facebook Term that illegalizes disrespecting Islamic religious symbols
3- Disabling any Facebook Page, Group, or Event that shows direct or indirect disrespect towards Islamic religious symbols

The pages that were unfairly removed are:

Facebook.com/Rassoul.Allaah - About 1,600,000 Likes
Facebook.com/Logo.Ramadan - About 600,000 Likes
Facebook.com/Love.Mohammed - About 200,000 Likes
Facebook.com/Quran.Lovers - About 70,000 Likes

Filthy cowards. I bet you have neither the will power nor testicular fortitude do ever do that.

Prove me wrong.

Show us all how much of a crippling , mind-blowing loss Facebook will be dealt by the Muslim community having a shitfit and running home to mohammie.

ETA  - Note the difference in those dates - Looks like they were charitable enough to give us all a reprieve before depriving us of their civility, intellect and tolerance.
