Muslim Facebook is here! MillatFacebook - Do we need it?

By elan on from www.elanthemag.com

In reaction to the global uproar surrounding Facebook’s recent allowance of a “Prophet Muhammad Cartoon Day”, several Muslims have formed an offshoot of the popular social networking site aimed at providing Muslims and “Peaceful people from other religions” with a virtual “safe space” in which to network. MillatFacebook.com seeks to provide all the functions of Facebook - minus the massive inventory of apps/games, and of course, minus the religious insensitivity. As the founders put it: “The objective is to provide a platform for all Muslims and nice, decent and sophisticated people of all religions and faiths, to come together and make a network. They should interact in a way that is socially responsible by providing them all the freedom of expression, however respecting each others’ sentiments, sensitivities and beliefs.”
