Mullahs control the press in muslim countries

Muslim leaders not only filter out western info. before letting it out to muslim masses , they filter out the truth about their own religion also. N. Khan said it all when he said most muslims are ignorant of their own religion . The muslim religious heirarchy keeps them ignorant for obivious reasons. Leave alone muslim countries , even secular Indian Govt acts on the whims of muslim mullahs to appease muslim voters. Few examples are:
-"Understanding Islam thorough Hadiths" by Ram Swarup , a book based on sahih hadiths bothered the mullahs so much that they forced Govt to have it banned in India
-Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" was banned in Inida before it was banned in muslim countries
- When a petition to ban "Quran" was filed in Calcutta (since it violates many Indian Codes), it was dismissmissed without discussion under heavy pressure from mullahs (they did not want discussion of the violent and intolerant verses in public forum)
It may not be too long before websites like faithfreedom.org , thereligionofpeace.com, jihadwatch.org and prophetofdoom.net which are banned in most islamic countries , are also banned in India under mullah pressure.
