PAKISTAN
Many of the images that appear today on Facebook were deeply offensive to Muslims and non-Muslims alike
U.S. is deeply concerned about any deliberate attempt to offend Muslims or members of any other religious groups
Do not condone offensive speech that can incite violence or hatred
We respect any actions that need to be taken under Pakistani law to protect their citizens from offensive speech
There needs to be a balance in restricting offensive speech and continuing to protect and promote the free flow of information

Browsing around a bit on the source website, I cannot but conclude that it must be a ‘spoof’ site. The general nature of statements is just too silly.

Nice job, whoever you are.
