But many Pakistanis have found Dr Akhtar's book unpalatable.

Pakistani children have no access to sex education
He tried to tone down the title - Sex Education for Muslims is the name of the English version of the book, in Urdu the title is Special Problems for Young People.

But that has not been enough to appease some.

"I have had threats. Even other doctors have accused me of acting like a maverick, a quack," he says.

"A provincial politician even hauled me into his office and said I was encouraging pornography. I explained I was doing nothing of the sort."

Anything the antisemite bunch might say about this? No, of course! Why, because Israel cannot be blamed, so there is no interest for them to criticise it.

Pakistan has been a sewer of corruption and a total basket case for years. Yes, very worrying that such total Islamic nutcases have nuclear weapons.

The powers that be in Pakistan have a vested interest in keeping the masses poor and ignorant. They thought it would protect them. Now they're reaping the rewards.

What a contrast to India, which is on its way to becoming a first world democracy. And of course, who will the Pakistanis blame for their woes?
