Pakistani magazine banned after fatwa

After a Pakistani cleric issued a fatwa against the editor and the publisher of a fashion magazine, the authorities banned its sale. The June issue of the magazine Octane carried images of Adam and Eve which a cleric argued were blasphemous. Police then lodged a case against Octane for publishing vulgar pictures. Magazine editor Zubair Kasuri argues that it was just an advertisement which had been published elsewhere. (Via Times of India)
