epa02165933 Supporters of Islamic group Jamiat Ulma-e-Nizamia shout slogans during a protest against the international social networking website Facebook in Lahore Pakistan, 20 May 2010. A Pakistani court on 19 May ordered the government to temporarily block the social-networking website Facebook after a controversy over a competition for caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, media reports said. 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.
