Nerve Endings Firing Away

It turns out that Pakistan is more ‘secular’ than India. Only five Indian states have banned The Da Vinci Code but Pakistan has gone a step further and banned the movie from the entire country. Authorities in Pakistan said, “the government will not allow any movie that has controversial scenes about any prophet.” I wonder what made Pakistan suddenly consider the opinions of its Christian minority community. Would a similar ban be enforced if suppose the Hindu minorities had demanded a ban on the movie, Fire? No matter how many regions and countries continue to ban the movie, Dan Brown is already rich beyond his wildest dreams.
