Normal Internet Message in a Muslim Country?

I went, as I normally do when I have a few minutes, scanning through the blogs of all my friends around the world. I went to my friends' in China first, and enjoyed their pictures that always make me laugh so much. Then I went to the next one, and was surprised to see that there were thumbnails where pictures should be. Interesting. Moving on to the next blog, the same thing happened. I clicked on the thumbnail, which took me to another website.

Arabic everywhere, and then this message in English:

"We apologize the site you are attempting to visit has been blocked due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the 'this country'. "

Well, I do declare! That's a first! (China must be more acceptable than Africa...) Even the pictures on my blog were blocked! I'm going to have to figure out how to get around that one...
