...is blocked.

What a way to start my first thread on this forum, eh?

Arshad, I tried to go to your site (get.to/islam), but to my great surprise I found the site to be blocked by the Saudi government! (I live in KSA).  

I'm having a bit of the same problem as well with my site but that is because they blocked my host redrival.com (for a reason that defies me).  So i tested the same thing with your site and went the V3 site and home.net.  Both of them were unblocked.  

I suppose that there really is nothing much that you can do about this, but I thought u may just want to know.

Assalaamu alaikum,

They might be blocking all URLs that can be redirected. http://get.to/islam can be redirected to anything. You will have to use the direct IP or URL (http://members.home.net/arshad - right Arshad?)

Wasalaam.

Asalaam alaikum wrt wb,

Wow, that's interesting, I didn't know they did that.  Thanks for the information.  Do you know who is in charge of this?  His email address I mean, insha'Allah I can contact him about this.

Asim, yes, you are correct. :)

Nope... the direct URL is also blocked.

It's hard to get the direct e-mail address for the person im charge since the URL Unblocking requet is a form.

Assalamoalykum,

That is really strange, Arshad. I am going to read everything on your website to see what they might not have licked.

Assalamu alaikum,

I have heard that a lot of ISP's in Saudi Arabia don't let their users see any "fundamentalist" site.  They probably key in on some specific phrases or words, and if these words are found in the site, it is automatically blocked from being viewed.

Wassalam.
