Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan called on Facebook to ban Islamophobic content on its platform, warning of a spike in radicalization amongst Muslims, hours after he hit out at the French president for 'attacking Islam'

to ban Islamophobic content on its platform, warning of a spike in radicalisation amongst Muslims, hours after he hit out at the French president for"attacking Islam".

“I would ask you to place a similar ban on Islamophobia and hate against Islam for Facebook that you have put in place for the Holocaust,” Khan said. In response, a Facebook spokeswoman told Reuters the company opposed all forms of hate and did not allow attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin or religion.

Facebook traditionally complies, as not doing so would be to break Pakistan’s laws, the source said, adding that authorities would often send dozens of links at a time and demand they be taken down.In his letter, Khan also referred to the situation in France, where, he said, Islam was being associated with terrorism.

Pakistan and Turkey share strong ties, while Khan and Erdogan have developed a close relationship - particularly on the topic of Islamophobia.

He should be asking for boycottfrance

Perhaps he should be more concerned with his ‘people’ going around assassinating others over a drawing.

wow, from a country that kills christians. muslims and christians(west) cannt live together. history, history

Ban terrorist countries like Pakistan, turkey, Qatar

Prime minister of Pakistan 🇵🇰 Imran Khan rightly asked to Facebook to ban such activities against ISLAM. I must say that Facebook must ban any hated material against any religion.

You have to hear and see what you do ?

Shitty ideologies deserve to be mocked.

Necessary but is it not hard to change the grown-ups? However not the kids growing up today! They are tomorrow. What they hear or see today defines their perception gradually. What did they hear on Oct 16th?

Why only Facebook? If ban on Facebook they will use other means of social platforms.

Je condamne fermement ce que fait la France au nom de la liberté d'expression. Je demande au président français, Emmanuel Macron, de s'excuser pour l'insulte faite au cœur de nos musulmans, le Saint Prophète Muhammad (que la paix soit sur lui).

The Geist of Islamic order is cognitively inaccessible and incomprehensible for him; its elusive mysteriousness brings it into resonant proximity of what Freud called the return of the repressed: you can’t keep “drawing” Jesus while having different standards for Mohammed

So, if someone says something negative about Islam you response is to quickly radicalise and you start killing people, right? You are not well at all.

Emmanuel Macron should resign immediately because he can not represent anymore three indispensable values of French democracy which have been presented to all the world ; liberty,equality and freedom !

Lacks Gratitude, HOPE THESE GUYS R SENT BACK TO PLACE OF ORIGIN... Practice your Religion to be better HUMAN BEING and Contribute To The Society and Nation at LARGE...

Absolutely! Islamophobic content should be ban on every social /Electronic media platforms.

Imran is just pandering to his Islamist voters (eye on the next vote). Nothing to do with Pakistan's relationship with France (which has never been very strong). Not even about religious fundamentalism or terrorism. French secularism kept French Muslims safe post attack. No riot

First of Im the Dimwit ImranKhanPTI should protect Hindus and Christians in Pakistan whose daughters are forcibly abducted, converted to Islam and married by perverts.

:)

Idiot

Why not start closing hate preaching madrasas instead? They're breeding grounds of radicalization of their own making. Its never their own fault, is it? Always play victim.

But Facebook allowing Islamic groups to promote jihad is OK?

The exact opposite of the necessary response. Imran Khan's call is the usual blackmail, 'don't criticise Islam or the Jihadis will murder more people'. You must never give way to that kind of moral cowardice.

🇹🇷🇵🇰🇦🇿

THANK GOD... You guys have got second chance to LIVE IN A CIVILIZED WORLD.... There also you and mess with your RELIGION, PRACTICE AT HOME AND IN YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP, HOPE THEY DON'T DEPORT U BACK FROM THE HELL HOLE U COME.... Be Grateful.. 🙏

That he first manages to stop the religious massacres in Pakistan before he wants to give lessons!

Perhaps you should tackle radicalism at home first before you start advertising others

Facebook is a weapon of mass-destruction.

'The Muslim world is so moderate that I'm afraid everyone is ready to radicalise themselves because of some cartoons', said Khan.

Great Leader 👍

Separation of church and state ... This is France not some backward fifth world country. Blasphemy is made up. The Prime Minister of a country that condemns Christians to death by hanging for having «blasphemed» dares to give lessons of tolerance, peace and human rights to France?
