Government has banned the latest edition of US weekly magazine Newsweek because it carries material likely to incite Muslim religious sentiments, information minister said today.
| And we all know what happens when Muslim religious sentiments get all impacted and inflamed... |
Shaikh Rashid told AFP that all copies of the weekly's July 28 edition would be confiscated. "We have ordered the customs authorities to seize all copies of the Newsweek issue as it contains material which can incite religious sentiments," Rashid said, adding that the objectionable article on page 40 was about the Holy Quran. He said there was freedom of expression in Pakistan but the government expected the media to be careful about the religious sensitivities of the Muslim people.
| Other than that, we have perfect freedom of expression. Except for turban jokes, of course... And titties. No titties... |
