Dang, why do you think that? I think facebook is ok. Nothing special. It is a good way to keep in touch with OLD friends. heck one of my Old quran teachers is on it too LOL. It does have alot less stalkers. Then again no ones gonna b stalking me >_> haha. But, it is a lil bit more private i guess, you DONT have to accept someones invitation ^_^. I Think there should be like a MUSLIM FACEBOOK. For muslims brothers and sisters all over the WORLD. hrmm....

Well, I've been exchanging e-mails with a Customer Service Rep of theirs, after having reported both the "**** Islam" and "**** Christianity" groups and not received a response.
They refuse to discuss anything. All they keep saying is "There's a report button. Report and we'll investigate."
Me: Hi, I used the "Report Group" button a long time ago and I'm wondering what the status is on this issue.
Facebook: Thanks for reporting this potential abuse. We're going to review it. In future, please use the "Report Group" button.
Me: Yes, I did use that button but nothing happened. Why wasn't there any action taken? Facebook: We can't give you any information about that. We're going to decide if these groups violate our Terms of Use.
Me: When?
Facebook: We can't tell you that. And when we do decide, we won't be able to tell you anything about why then too. And this decision is final.
So basically, they're saying they're not gonna delete the groups and they don't have to give us a reason.
Me: Okay, that's fine. I don't care if you leave the groups up but either delete them all or leave them all. Don't delete "**** Judaism" but leave "**** Islam" and "**** Christianity."
Facebook: ....
See, told you.
Fascists.

Re: Facebook Thread
Well, is there a F*** Judaism or F*** Israel group?
If there is, and Facebook has let them stay as is, then you can't do much about it since Facebook's policy is to leave them as is, despite their ToS saying otherwise. But if they close down some hate groups and not other then yeah, their hypocrisy is pretty apparent and you might even take legal action.

Re: Facebook Thread
Well, apparently, there was a "**** Judaism" group at one point, which they closed down. I didn't personally see it though.
Could be that group crossed the fine line though and attacked Jewish people instead of just the religion and that's why it got closed?
It still remains to be seen whether or not they're going to close the other two offensive groups though. I pointed them to the massive groups which protest the existence of both of the groups though and they said they'd "investigate".

Re: Facebook Thread
That group is lame. I think its actually run by facebook ppl themselves. Who cares let it be. People will always hate on Islam and always have.

Re: Facebook Thread
With Microsoft recently buying 1.6% of the company at $240 million, Facebook just got valuated at $15 BILLION. 
The company was started by a college dropout and is barely four years old.
Zuckerberg sure as hell knows what he's doing, considering he refused a $1 billion offer from Yahoo barely a year ago.
