In response to the threatened boycott by some 2.5 million Muslims irate over the alleged deletion of four Islamic pages, Facebook has announced that it will release a new version of its networking site for Muslim women only. The new version - which is expected to be most popular in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan - will be called "Nofacebook" and will be available only when the women are accompanied by a male relative.
A company spokesman said that Nofacebook should be available by the start of Ramadan so that "Muslim women can find a place to share burqa patterns and niqab fabrics." Facebook promised to shut the site down immediately upon request by the women's husbands and hoped that its move would appease Islamists "so no one would be bombed."

I'm disgusted with this barbaric group of ignorant people. I have two words for them, Mriana... My sis a very successful Joan Rivers impersonator and she always says that... wonder what words she would say to them now?
How dare they do this in OUR country. This is one reason I do NOT like organized religion of ANY kind.
Grrrrrrrrr
I say Grow up, Go home and educate yourselves....

What is the big deal. Does any one in Muslim community have knowledge of how to build a web site?. There are cheap servers and free software(Dolphin). Build your own "facebook" and stop winning about someone else web site. If I do not like the contest of a web site, I just do not go there any more. I do not like any religion, but I respect freedom of expression.
Imagine the uproar if men wore masks! Kids in public schools! female cops!
