(Bush* Dictator Buddy) Pakistan Bans Latest Issue of Newsweek

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan has banned
the latest issue of Newsweek's international
edition, saying an article on new interpretations of
the Quran offends Islam.

The information minister said Thursday that
customs authorities have been ordered to seize
copies of the edition.

``The article is insulting to the Quran,'' the
minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, told The
Associated Press. He said officials fear the article
could incite violence in a nation wracked by
feuding between militant members of the Sunni
and Shiite sects of Islam.

``The decision was taken to prevent religious
violence and control law and order situation.'

Or Jerry Falwell.
