The government in Pakistan is blocking the nation's access to facebook after a controversial religious issue. A group on facebook organized an "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" to which the Pakistani government was outraged. The drawing of the prophet Mohammed is seen as offensive in the Muslim culture. This incident has caused many riots and uproars among the people calling for a ban on facebook. The block is initiated until further notice.
