Is islam in Pakistan different

from JoeUser Forums

DPA from Islamabad has reported that Pakistan has banned November 22 issue of the weekly Newsweek for publishing objectionable remarks which tantamount to desecration of the Holy Quran and are offensive to Islam. These remarks were contained in a story entitled Clash of Civilisations”. Pakistan must have taken this step for good reason but point is why the other Muslim countries have not banned the same issue. This issue is available here in Saudi Arabia and UAE. Are there different Islams in different countries or does we in Pakistan have made ourselves as Policeman of Islam adopting the mentality of our friend US treating itself Policeman of the world. This is mind boggling.

I think Pakistan has a very interesting position in the Islamic world. They are a secular government, with an islamist population. Which probably creates a lot of problems when trying to balance secular policies vs the public's religious views.
