Facebook is a social networking website that is widely known and used around the world. It enables one to create a profile to share about their lives and make friends with people from different parts of the world. Facebook allow people of the same interest to join a group where they can share and interact with one another. Facebook is a free for all to use regardless of their age.

Recently, issues of the use of Facebook were raised in Pakistan in response to a group called "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day". This group was created to challenge people to draw Mohammed, one of the highest prophet in Islam, as a drawing contest. This spark an outrage in the Muslim community as they felt it as an insult to them and their religion. This could in fact resulted in racial riots between the Muslims and the creator of the Facebook group. Hence, the government officials of Pakistan decided to ban the use of Facebook in the country.

Facebook is meant for people to share their feelings and make friends with other people. It should not be used as a tool to discriminate, insult and jeopardize other people. I personally think that such publication or group created to insult or discriminate others is simply bringing harm to ownself. Issues like this should be kept personal and not be posted on a public website to prevent any conflicts.

Facebook should not be ban just because of a minority of people who brought down the name of Facebook due to their silly acts. The government itself should do something about the issue and prevent such incident from occurring again. They should also emphasize in the importance of racial harmony in the country.
