We read:
"Texters in Pakistan better start watching their language. Pakistan’s telecommunications authority sent a letter ordering cell phone companies to block text messages containing what it perceives to be obscenities, Anjum Nida Rahman, a spokeswoman for Telenor Pakistan, said Friday.
It also sent a list of more than 1,500 English and Urdu words that were to be blocked. The order was part of the regulator’s attempt to block spam messages, said Rahman. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority refused to comment on the initiative.
Many of the words to be blocked were sexually explicit terms or swear words, according to a copy of the list obtained by The Associated Press. It also included relatively mild terms like fart and idiot.
The reasons for blocking some words, including Jesus Christ, headlights and tampon, were less clear, raising questions about religious freedom and practicality. Any word could conceivably be part of a spam message.

Pakistan is going the way of the roman empire
This is what the christian right want, a theocracy? No thanks.
Anon 4:09: No, thats just what people on the left assume that Christians on the right want.. Just like the Christians on the right assume that the people on the left all want to have gay sex with under aged boys.. Both assumptions are wrong..
Anonn your a total igoramus
@President - then please tone down the religious rhetoric in politics.
The Christians on the right are not trying to set up a theocracy . That will be done by the second person of God , Jesus Christ himself . And I'm not trying to convert you , that is the job of the third person of God , the Holy Spirit , if you will let him convince you . My job is to tell people the good news that Jesus Christ has paid the price for your sins .("go out into the world and tell people the good news", not make them believe...not my job .
I guess that makes me a christian conservative , or places me on the right .

We should nuke pakistan and every other stinking stan there is.
@President
C'mon give the left some credit. In addition to the men wanting gay sex with underage boys, the women also want gay sex with underage girls.
And this isn't an assumption; its a fact. The assumption is that the left is into bestiality. That's false. That's still on the shelf until they can get their gay pedophilia accepted.
