Respect the FREEDOM OF SPEECH

To:  Orkut/Google

Orkut allows people to connect. People can join and create profiles there BUT it has some rules regarding the content of the profiles. Here's the link:

These are the policies of Orkut. The 'Profile Restrictions' section clearly mentions, ''...A profile should not upload, transmit or contain material that is hateful or offensive based on race, ethnicity, national origin, RELIGION, gender, or sexual orientation....''

Now if anyone breaks these norms, his profile is supposed to be deleted. But there is a profile on Orkut, besides many other, where the person has placed some VERY VERY offensive pictures and attributed them to Prophet Muhammad(pbuh). And Orkut is taking NO action against it. If you are already signed up with orkut, check this profile then:

http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Profile.aspx?uid=2934737884111828219

It shows how offensive it is. Now it's not like Muslims have not complained to Orkut against it. Check this community of Orkut:

http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Community.aspx?cmm=58098058

It has hundreds of members and the number is growing rapidly. And all have reported abuse against this and many such profiles/communities who have broken the policies of Orkut.

We want this profile and other such profiles/communities DELETED IMMEDIATELY.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
