Presumably if I download the PDF of it to my PC from the web I will be in serious trouble. Every society has its taboos. I don't think we can say much about what Malaysia bans if we in the UK have books that mere possession of will compromise our safety. <strong>jb says</strong>: Hi Joel, I think we should point out censorship wherever it happens. Repressive governments only thrive when everyone keeps quiet and toes the line. Last week BBC Radio 4 described “The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook” as a “banned book”.
