The council of Adiemu known as the "Mondiale" today banned the Da Vinci code from increasing pressure from Christian and Muslim groups. Though Adiemu is a Muslim country, Adiemu's religious harmony act prohibits heretical material that can be deemed offensive to any organised religion. Muslim leaders also agreed seen as it distorts the livelihood of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) a prophet also central in Islam as well as Christianity.

We urge nations of the NS world to do the same about Dan Brown's book the Da Vinci code.

As a nation that values the freedom of speech and religion, we are displeased by this. But, we respect the individual sovereignty of every nation. We urge you to reconsider.

Whoever bans The Da Vinci Code has no brain.

In the Federation of Fingrad freedom of speech is second to none, though I recognise that order is a condition sine qua non for a country. As the South Islands, I respect your sovereignty while urging you to reconsider.

This may sound controversial but there has to be a limit to free speech. Our nation protects it's citizens from hate and insult, it's why racist parties are not allowed. As Christians were offended by the book in Adiemu we have maintained the ban though the council will listen to an appeal this weekend.
