Court orders Google and Facebook to remove all anti Islamic content.


Social websites including Google and Facebook have been ordered by an Indian court to remove all 'anti-religious' and 'anti-social' content within six weeks.
On Saturday a Delhi Court ordered 22 social networking sites, including Yahoo and Microsoft, to wipe the objectionable and defamatory contents and file compliance reports by February 6, 2012.
Additional Civil Judge Mukesh Kumar passed the order on a suit filed by Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi seeking to restrain the websites from circulating objectionable and defamatory contents.


Qasmi had objected to a number of images on the websites which he complained would cause 'irreparable loss and injury to the people who are offended by them'.
He argued that some of the images defamed Hindu gods, Prophet Mohammed and other religious figures, India Today website reported.

The order will raise serious questions about how users' posts and opinions will be edited, censorship and freedom of expression.

On December 22 Judge Kumar had issued summonses to the social networking sites, demanding they remove photographs, videos or texts that might offend religious sentiments, the Hindustan Times website reported.
The order comes a day after a criminal court issued summonses to the sites for facing trial for allegedly webcasting objectionable contents.

Santosh Pandey, appearing for complainant Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi, told The Hindu Times after the court hearing that the websites have to submit a report to the court by February 6 describing the action they had taken to remove the contents from the websites.
Representatives of Yahoo India Pvt Ltd and Microsoft told the court that they had not got copies of the order and complaint against them, but Qasmi's

The order comes at a controversial time as IT minister Kapil Sibal had recently discussed with representatives of some of the companies ways to guarantee the offensive contents are not posted.
India Today quoted him as saying: 'There were some demeaning, degrading, clearly pornographic depictions of gods and goddesses which no reasonable, sensible person anywhere in the world would accept, on any site.



counsel told the court that he would supply the relevant documents to them, according to the Hindustan Times.

  3. Yes i am in favour of with the council issing this order against the companies.I personally been notice there is no restriction on harming on ones faith.This might create a Net on Fire in future,as it spreads thing very quickly in the Globally.
    I respect my faiths a lot,so if it harm by mean or source,which cant be repaired.So its better we Restrict it now,,as India today it seems they are more sensible than the public,i believe the social sites are made for public,and not only for India today,leave what sence public have and its better to do your job wat is required.

  11. It hurts a lot to see anti-religious pics and videos. Let all the Indians be united to support this. Social networking sites should warn the users and then ban them when they repeat posting these kind of objectionable contents. If there is no action by these sites, then these sites should be banned from the country.

  15. As Salaam Walaikum..

    many praises to Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi may Allah subhaantala awards you with best of Jannah.
    you made us proud sir by seeing you I still believe there are muslims in this world who still attain the highest level of imaaan.

    1) If you see something wrong try to stop it.
    2) If can not stop, atlease let your voice heard against it.
    3) If you cannot do either of the above atleast curse in your heart.

  16. Its about time someone did something.Posting of false and degoratory informtion is not freedom of expession. Its more like hate speech by those who propogate hate because of disagreement.

  19. This is horrible, and shame on everyone who supports this. This is censorship at a highest level, restricting people's freedom of speech. Despite what many of you may think you do not have a right not to be offended. The religions of the world greatly offend myself but I don't go around screaming for censorship, no I debate people on it. It seems religion cannot do the same. What would happen if people started censoring the Quran and Vedas, hmmm? I'm pretty sure most of the Islamic and Hindu worlds would start an uproar. You're entitled to your views and to disagree with these pages, but what you don't have is the entitlement to start censoring people's views. This makes me sick and everyone in support of it should be ashamed for supporting something which restricts such a fundamental liberty, which you here all enjoy.

  23. Muslims are required, per their religion, to deal with people of all other faiths with respect and to cooperate with them for the benefit of humanity and nature.

    Throughout history, when Muslims followed the Quranic precepts -- whether they were in a position of authority, or even as a numerically weaker minority group -- they, as well as members of other religions living around them, benefited greatly. The degree of compassionate and just treatment by Muslims to adherents of other religions far exceeded that meted out by authorities of other religions toward Muslims

  25. the action should be taken against the people who are committing and spreading false things regarding religion...... its is really hurting the sentiments of ones belief..... it is intolerable as no one got the right to comment bad things pertaining to others religion.... this should be implemented as soon as possible.

  33. What happened to freedom of speech.

    What if its the truth, like the millions of people all religions have murderd in the name of their God.

    Religious people are the most hypocritcal people on earth. They have murdered more people than anyone else and spew out hate every day of the week. They are bigots, racists, and hate anyone that isnt like them.

  34. People who think abusing and degrading other people's beliefs is freedom of expression are simply wrong. If you don't like my faith then don't practice it, there is no need for hate speech. Society as a whole believes in maintaining a moral standard, even if laws are required to stop the few from causing hate.

  40. There is no proof of any Allah or any other God. Any kind of religion is just a mental delusion.
    Different people have different kind of delusion, if a single person have certain kind of delusion, we call them mad or mental ill, if a large group of people have delusion, we call them religion.
