Dear Sepoy,

This is crazyness I mean come on who reads newsweek in Pakistan? People who read newsweek in Pakistan also have access to the internet and they have already watched that particular picture. I had a chance to read Satanic Verses and I think it was bullshit, really boring and enough lengthy to give a head ache for a few days. The Mullahs made a issue out of it otherwise how many Pakistanis read any kind of books in Pakistan? I think that government of Pakistan intentionally give publicity to such things by banning them because they know that without banning no one would even care about these stories. It is good in a way that at least it makes people curious and they talk about such things. Though their discussions are always too biased and too protective of their own values and what they call “religious sentiments”.

Manto almot 60 years ago won a case filed against him in LHC for comparing beauty of female breasts to that of the tombs of a mosque. i cann’t think of anything better than a female torso for this thing. it definitly is much better than wood, leather or a dirty piece of paper.
ps. please correct me if you think it happened under raj.
pps. 6 av/45 st shawarma is so good that you can visit from anywhere in n america to new york just for it

there is a considerable amount who reads newsweek and other intl. journals, but what will actually drive everyone(mullah’s) crazy would be those ’sexed-up’ editorals, headlines and the picture of woman√≠s torso , ‘censored’ by Huge cross-lines. No one will ‘ever’ bother to read the actual matter.
