LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan's government ordered Internet service providers to block Facebook on Wednesday amid anger over a page that encourages users to post images of Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

I made a separate account so I could check it out. There are some unbelievably talented people out there. The best I’ve seen was a sketch of Mohammed doing a self-portrait. Tasteful, clean, and directly to the point.
