Oh, uh, controversy on Facebook. It seems a few people started a foul-mouthed anti-Islam group and that has the rest of the site up in arms. Search for F— Islam and you’ll find dozens of protest groups—F—the people who started F— Islam. Scholarly debate, all of it.

That Facebook accidentally deleted the founder’s account is sorta suspect. The group’s founder is claiming free speech and all that jazz, but it’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out, what with Facebook being the Internet darling that it is.
