Facebook has done away with a Muslim-bashing group that had been set up on the popular social networking service.”We disabled the ‘I Hate Muslims in Oz’ group because it contained an explicit statement of hate,” a spokesperon from the California-based website said.”Where Holocaust denial groups have done this, and been reported, we’ve taken the same action.”This is not the first Facebook group to create a stir. Others with similar undertones also exist.
