'Facebook for Muslims' launched in Pakistan after real thing is blocked over 'blasphemous' Prophet images

MillatFacebook, meaning Nation Facebook in Urdu, was launched on Wednesday and has already attracted some 8,000 users.

Millat Facebook also promises stronger privacy settings than its US counterpart.
