The New York Daily News is reporting that Omer Zaheer Meertold, a 25-year-old Pakistani man, has launched a version of Facebook for Islamic people. He told the HinduStan Times that he was motivated by the Facebook "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day� controversy that resulted in Facebook being banned in Pakistan briefly.
Meertold said: "People from all faiths are welcome to come and interact with one another and understand Muslims." The site is "to provide a platform to decent people of different faiths to come in harmony.
Observers, however, have found anti-western and anti-Israel material on Millatfacebook.
