Facebook has a new PR issue on its hands.
Apparently, its made as many as 2.5 million customers mad enough to threaten a boycott.
The group claims to represent Muslims who are mad about the removal of four Facebook pages.
These are the pages no longer available on the site:
Facebook.com/Rassoul.Allaah Facebook.com/Logo.Ramadan LikesFacebook.com/I.Love.Mohammed Facebook.com/Quran.Lovers
The deadline is a week from today. The group claims it has hundreds of thousands of users who are ready to jump ship to another site called madina.com, which is a Islamic social networking site.
For now, the group is trying to get its message out by posting the same comment over and over on Facebook blogs. 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.
They go on to list their demands:
Reactivating the four pages that have been disabled Adding a Facebook Term that illegalizes disrespecting all Islamic religious symbols, including Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and the Qur'an, as well as Prophet Moses (PBUH), Prophet Jesus (PBUH), and the original Bible Disabling any Facebook Page, Group, or Event that shows direct or indirect disrespect towards Islamic religious symbols
We have a message into the Facebook press folks to see if they have a comment on the movement. We also have no idea why the four sites were taken down in the first place. Hopefully Facebook will answer our inquiry soon. Check back for updates.
Not being a Muslim shows disrespect to Islam. Their demands are basically Muslims only at Facebook.
All 2.5 Moslems can leave facebook. Big deal
Or as they say in the UK: “Piss off”.
NOBODY!!
Love it.
Hey, Achmed... don’t let the door hitcha where the good Lord splicha!
I think they do this to Herr Zuckerberg and his relatives just about every day...
Buh Bye ... a-hole
Ah, yes... the local foot smelling competition is about to begin...
But you wouldn't get the exposure, like you do on facebook, to piss-off all the right people.
I laugh at your threat...
"They took down my facebook page too. I was so angry I shot up my Macbook! Accidentally killed two goats too. Praise to Allah, I brought down the Towers for less than that!"
uh...bye?
I thot we learned on the playground to let those who pouted, threatened, and stamped their little feet — to let them just go.
Now leave the planet and we’ll call it even.
Buh Bye.
Go to your sandpile and be happy with the sand fleas and those huge camel spiders.
LOL That picture always reminds me of that old Nancy Sinatra song “These Butts Were Made for Kicking”, or something like that.
Yo muslims!.... aint the free market system just great??? or what???
You don’t like it, then leave it! It’s not like anybody is holding a booby-trapped baby to your heads or anything.
Good thing it's not a Jewish Conspiracy! No Jews here...Move along.
;-)
L'Chaim!
