So politically-biased censorship is OK with you?
Strange, but when I see articles suggesting politicians "bending
forward" with its allusions to anal sex, I have to wonder why those
statements are allowed, but much milder discussion of the Kama Sutra
was not.
Maybe the answer is because one article tries to make enemies of the
Muslims, while the other is a (gasp!) discussion of Hindu topics.
