Call for Bible ban in Pakistan concerns Christians: "Christians have expressed their concern over calls by a Muslim cleric for the Bible to be banned in Pakistan.
Maulana Abdul Rauf Farooqi, leader of the political party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, announced at a recent press conference that he had petitioned the Supreme Court to ban the Bible.
The call is a response to the burning of a Koran by Florida pastor Terry Jones
He and others in the party claim that passages in the Holy Bible are blasphemous and offensive to Muslims.
Some of the passages that some Muslims find blasphemous relate to the story of the Last Supper, Jesus' prayer at Gethsemane, and the story of David committing adultery with Bathseba."
