The High Court in the eastern city of Lahore issued the decree on a petition filed by the Islamic Lawyers Movement, seeking a ban of the website. The petition said the "blasphemous competition," scheduled to be held May 14-20 by one of the website's user groups, would hurt the religious sentiments of 45 million Pakistani Facebook users.  EPA/REHAN KHAN
