A Pakistani court orders the authorities to restore the Facebook social networking site. http://bit.ly/aj7TpB about 2 hours ago

All too much hope. The West has changed, under an Obama who bows to the saudi king.

Apparently, Facebook apologized and deleted the page.

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/05/31/1245202/Pakistan-Lifts-Ban-After-Facebook-Deletes-Offending-Page

So there. Now Muslims (fundamentalists, ofcourse) know that all they have to do is offer some threats and fatwas and can get their way, anywhere, anytime.
