In Pakistan, the
government of Punjab under Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has recently banned teaching
of “comparative religion” as a course at Lahore Grammar School. The
course was aimed at highlighting the fundamental teachings of Islam,
Christianity, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Hindusim.
Is has been told officially that Muslims should not be taught teachings of any religion other than Islam.
Hence a professionally crafted course on ‘Comparative religion’ giving the students an insight into the basic tenets of all contemporary religions is banned.
However, Islamiat as a subject, compulsorily prescribed for non-Muslim students in government schools, jehadi literature, abundantly available, calling for death to ‘kafirs’; inflammatory speeches, available on tapes and discs by Mullahs, calling for taking up arms against other Muslim sects are not banned.
The government of Punjab has also recently banned a ‘Cambridge Checkpoint Science Book II’ for containing a chapter titled ‘Reproduction in Humans’. The book is prescribed for class 7 students in all schools preparing students for Cambridge University ‘O’ and ‘A’ level examinations.
It has been officially stated that any information on reproduction is obscene.
Hence being ‘obscene’, scientific knowledge for education and awareness, enlightening our youth is banned.
However, books available on footpaths and bookstores like ‘ Hidayatnama khawand’ (Instructions for Husband), ‘Suhag ki pehli raat’ (First Wedding night), ‘Kok shastra’, wall chalking advertising ‘Mard kabhi boodha nahi hota’(Male never get Old), ‘Biwi ko deewana bana’ye’ (Wife become crazier for you), ‘atomi capsule’(Extension of timing Capsule for males), ‘ Waqfa badha’ye’ (Gap Increase) and “Aurat kya chahti hai’ (What Women wants) are not banned.
