Ban this, ban that! What is this. Dude, Internet is a tool. It is up to you how to use it. If you have access to a hammer, you can use it to construct a shelter for someone or you can strike it in the head of someone you absolutely loathe. Its in your hands mate. Temptations are everywhere. You have to look at yourself. Clean your own mind – that’s all you are asked to do. This is the same as blaming the government. LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF and start from there.

Taimur, you don’t understand a single iota of the msg given by rahman.

The networked computer allows people to dig into those nasty things where insults to Islam happens on a day to day manner. Prophet never allows anything which instigate a direct assault to the supreme Allah.

Whatever you gain out of that medium, if it has got a very minute insult to the prophet and god, is against our believes and hence we should be able to avoid them.

And what uses are you telling ? recent study says that it is Pakistan who browse more porn site than any other nation in the world. See how it has affected our young brains…I fully support rahman and I am keenly waiting for the further bans on sites like yahoo, google, hotmail etc…

In spite of banning all these sites, as rahman pointed out, there are crooked ones who watch bollywood movies. Hence banning the computer as told by him, is the best solution.

I just can’t believe what you say. Our Holy Prophet (PBUH) never used a car and by that logic you should not use a car. and by the way why are you using computer. of course you didn’t post this comment while sitting on a camel. Mr. are you aware of the negative impact that the banning of internet will have on education and learning. besides you can do a lot of good stuff on internet. Man I just can’t believe what you said.

in India we don’t ban anything.
recently some British author wrote something bad about shivaji maharaj but our supreme court uplifted the ban.

I think we need more strict rules. It is good to ban facebook now. Lets ban internet then. Why do we need it ? When prophet was there, he never used internet.. Recently i saw a young man who has so many bollywood movies in his computer. Most of those movies were against religious believes and i really felt that it is defamatory against islam. This is happening because of teh DVDs and netwroked computers. We have to really put these manace by cutting down the internet connections and if needed should not be allowed the usage of computer itself. Pakistan zindabad….

A more sophisticated and enlightened way of dealing with such insults is the way the Prophet (saw) dealt with those who insulted him in his lifetime. He ignored them and prayed for their guidance.
Are we capable of such enlightened behavior?
The prophet we claim to love… are we emulating his behaviors in such conflict?
Or are we only capable of instigating hatred & anger… impotent people react with false bravado.
