Why is it that "non-Christian" countries like Pakistan are more concerned about offending Christians than "Christian" countries like the US?
It is obviously not about religious ideology or about the political clout of the audience. I believe it is a cultural value that esteems the good of the communnity over the freedom of the individual.
"Pakistan on Saturday banned cinemas from showing 'The Da Vinci Code' because it contained what officials called blasphemous material about Jesus.
Although the film has not been screened in any theater in mostly-Muslim Pakistan, authorities decided to ban it out of respect for the feelings of the country's minority Christians."
