It's Shit Like This, Pakistan

[E-lad]

The prevailing moronic Muslim leadership of Pakistan has decided to shun, and strike from school textbooks for heresy,the name of Abdus Salam, the country's first and only Nobel Prize winner.

Why (?) you ask? Raping? Opposing the leadership? Blasphemy? Nope. He was a devout Muslim even until his death in 1996.
His sin was that he is connected to the discovery of the Higgs Boson.

According to the article it was because he was the wrong kind of devout Muslim.

He belonged to the Ahmadi sect, which has been persecuted by the government and targeted by Taliban militants who view its members as heretics.
