Facebook founder says ‘extremist from Pakistan’ wanted him dead

[n2doc]

CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg in a status update said that “an extremist in Pakistan” had fought to have him sentenced to death.

His statement came after the deadly attack on the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo; a French satirical magazine, on blasphemy accusations, which killed 12 people.

“A few years ago, an extremist in Pakistan fought to have me sentenced to death because Facebook refused to ban content about Muhammad that offended him,” Zuckerberg said in a status update on the social-networking website.

Explaining the reason for not removing the blasphemous content from Facebook about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Zuckerberg said, “We stood up for this because different voices — even if they’re sometimes offensive — can make the world a better and more interesting place.”
