Apparently someone decided to create an event on facebook calling today, the day we leave for Pakistan, "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day." In Islam, creating a picture of the prophet Muhammad is sinful, so the offensive pictures that began appearing on facebook naturally sparked outrage, and the high court has banned the site. This will make communicating with people back home a little more problematic while we are away. Hopefully we will still be able to access this blog regularly to keep you updated on what we're doing. It will be interesting to see what people in Pakistan think of the ban as this plays out.
