Pakistan on Saturday banned cinemas from showing "The Da Vinci Code" because it contained what officials called blasphemous material about Jesus.

The fact that it was banned out of respect for Christians rather than out of a motivation of censorship is really very impressive.

I think it was a very special gesture.

It also is offensive to Islam, as one is not supposed to show pictures of any prophet like Jesus. I'm surprised no mullah or imam has issued a fatwa banning this film.

Smart move on Pakistan's part. There's hope for them!
