Religion / 5 Dangerous Books That Were Banned From Humans by Abovenaija(m): 5:09pm On Aug 27, 2023
5 Dangerous Books that were banned from Humans – More Details

5 books that were banned for being too dangerous – Good literature gives us an escape from our daily lives, expands our worldview, and/ or imparts knowledge.

But over the years, many books have been considered so dangerous that they have been banned for public by governments across the world.



Here we listed down some of them and the reasons for it.


1. ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell
George Orwell’s 1945 satirical allegorical novella is about a group of animals living on a farm, and how they overthrow their owner for being repressed. This, in turn, leads to a series of power-play among the animals. The book was written as a satire against communism and naturally, it was banned in the Soviet Union when it was released. However, ‘Animal Farm’ is still banned in Cuba and North Korea. And since the book shows pigs to talk, it was also banned in the UAE since it is against Muslim’s beliefs!

2. ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ by George Orwell
After writing ‘Animal Farm’ which was banned by the then Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, George Orwell also wrote his dystopian novel ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’. It’s not surprising that ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ was also banned by Stalin, as the latter considered it as a comment on the style of ruling. The book was banned until 1990 in the Soviet Union. As per reports, many social groups in the USA also tried to get it removed from being sold at stores!


3. The Satanic Verses’ by Salman Rushdie
Salman Rushdie’s ‘The Satanic Verses’ was published in 1988. ‘It is centered on the novel’s references to the Satanic Verses of the Quran, and came to include a larger debate about censorship and religious violence,’ as per Wikipedia. Following the book’s controversies, it was banned in many countries, including India, Bangladesh, Thailand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, among others. In 1988, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who was the Supreme Leader of Iran back then, had issued a fatwa against the author’s life.

This led to numerous attempted-killings, including the author’s, which made Rushdie to go in hiding and stay under the British police’s protection for several years. Since then, while the angst against ‘The Satanic Verses’ controversy has simmered down and Khomeini has died, but his fatwa against Rushdie still remains. In August 2022, Rushdie was stabbed on stage at an event in the USA. And while Rushdie has survived and battled the attack, it has had life-changing effects on the author.

Celebrities / I Killed My Family Members Because I Love Them – 19-year-old Boy (photos) by Abovenaija(m): 8:43pm On Apr 06, 2021
A suspected murder-suicide identified as Farhan has killed his six members in suburban Dallas, after two brothers made a pact to kill their relatives and then themselves, commits suicide.

Farhan, aged 19, detailed the deadly plan in a rambling six-page suicide note that was posted online, in which he talked at length about his years-long battle with depression and self-harm, expressed anger at the latter seasons of the TV sitcom The Office, and ranted about inadequate gun control in the US.

Police Officers entered the residence and found six people dead from gunshot wounds, including two brothers, Farhan’s twin sister Farbin, their parents and a grandmother.

The family were immigrants from Bangladesh and the local police department had no prior interactions with them.

It is believed that the massacre was carried out by the two brothers, identified by a family friend as 19-year-old Farhan Towhid and 21-year-old Tanvir Towhid, as CBS DFW first reported.

Apparently two brothers made an agreement to commit suicide and ended up taking the entire family with them,’ said Allen police Sgt. Jon Felty.

The killing claimed the lives of Farhan’s twin sister Farbin Towhid, their parents Iren and Towhidul Islam, and a grandmother, 77-year-old Altafun Nessa.

She was visiting from Bangladesh, and was set to go return home next month.

Farbin was a talented artist, who had a full scholarship to New York University, FOX 4 reported.

Police confirmed that Farhan, formerly a computer science student at the University of Texas at Austin, linked his lengthy suicide letter from his Instagram.

The letter, which was published through Google Docs and reviewed by DailyMail.com, begins with the words: ‘Hey everyone. I killed myself and my family. If I’m going to die, I might as well get some attention.’

He goes on to say that he was diagnosed with depression in the ninth grade, and describes in graphic detail cutting himself with school scissors and knives, until he hit a ‘breaking point’ and told his father about his struggle.

Farhan said he was put on medication, received therapy, found a good group of friends and became popular.

‘My life was perfect, but that didn’t change the fact that I was depressed,’ he writes.

‘I would still have the urges to cut myself or end up crying myself to sleep. I tried doubling my medication which worked, but only temporarily. Every solution was always temporary.’

After experiencing a breakdown earlier this year and dropping out of college, Farhan said he found himself spending much of his time watching The Office with his older brother, who he said also suffered from crippling depression, despite being a ‘genius.’

Farhan then launches into a bizarre rant about how the comedy series should have ended after the seventh season, when the character of Michael Scott, as played by Steve Carrell, exited the show, instead of continuing on for two more seasons.

Farhan writes that he and his brother continued watching The Office until February 21, when his sibling walked into his room with a proposition: ‘if we can’t fix everything in a year, we’ll kill ourselves and our family.’

Farhan explains his decision to kill his family before committing suicide by saying that were his loved ones to go on living without him, ‘they would be miserable. They would spend the rest of their lives feeling guilt, despair, and a multitude of other adjectives that mean sad.

‘Instead of having to deal with the aftermath of my suicide, I could just do them a favor and take them with me. None of us would ever have to feel sad ever again.’

He added: ‘I love my family. I genuinely do. And that’s exactly why I decided to kill them.’

Farhan writes that the plan he and his brother hatched was simple: ‘We get two guns. I take one and shoot my sister and grandma, while my brother kills our parents with the other. Then we take ourselves out.’

He notes that because ‘gun control in the US is a joke,’ all it took for his brother to get the firearms was to go to a store and sign some forms.

He made this pubilc in a rare interview with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Bounce Radio live.

The 27-year-old said the wedding will now hold next year.

“Honestly, Corona messed plans up because it was meant to be in July. I have decided it would be sometime next year,” he said.

“For now, I want her to work on her business while I work on my album and the kids. I want everything to balance first.

“I have known Chioma for about seven years. We have been dating for about five years. Lati introduced me to Chioma. We went to the same school, Babcock University. We started as friends but I got so used to her and she got so used to me as well. She is a great cook as well.”

Davido’s proposed wedding with Chioma had made the headlines and was tagged #Assurance2020. It was rumoured that the duo had split over infidelity.

The ‘Fem’ singer said his mother died of cardiac arrest on his father’s birthday.

“I was about 10 to 11 years old when she died. She died on my father’s birthday. Honestly, it was just cardiac arrest. Even if it was going to happen, I would not have known because I was about 10 or 11 years old. She was not really sick. She used to get sick once in a while but it was nothing serious.

“I often say that I see my mother in Chioma. I did not grow up with my mother. I can hardly remember what happened when I was that young,” he said.
