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.
Just like they threatened not to fly on our airlines. Boo hoo. Maybe this will keep some teenage Muslim girls from getting killed by their fathers.
Leave Facebook? How about they go to hell? (Do not pass Go, do not collect 72 virgins.)
Gee whiz, they look like a bunch of mens behinds..
I see nothing but upside. The day has started well.... :-)
BYE

Two words for the angry masses: buh bye. Or just plain bite me.
Burkabook, LMAO! good one, dirka, dirka. =^)
And this is a bad thing how???
Good.
Maybe most of them can leave my country while they’re at it. (Sincere reformers who leave the Verse of the Sword at the border can stay, as far as I’m concerned.)
"I'm gonna miss those guys..."
Yes, rarely does a day come along with such good news.
With this news, I guess I’ll consider joining.

Give them an inch...
