Mullahs and pope agree

The Da Vinci Code must be banned. The Christian right will be pleased that they have even done so for the right reason; because it is offensive to Christians.

The reasons for banning Girl With a Pearl Earring and As I Lay Dying are less clear but there can be no doubt as to the rationale behind banning Ebrahim Golestan's The Cock. There is no mention of textbooks covering evolution but I have great faith in the Iranian authorities and I am certain that the fact they are not mentioned is merely an oversight on the part of the journalist.
