Afghan politicians seek to censor TV

Afghanistan's lower house of parliament has voted to bar TV programmes from showing dancing and other practices deemed un-Islamic. The decision followed the airing by a private TV channel of a dance scene at an Afghan film awards event. The information and culture ministry said "dancing by men and women together was completely against the culture of the Afghan, Muslim society." The resolution will go before parliament's upper house of Parliament for consideration, but it would require approval by the president before becoming law. (Via ABC)
