'Noah' Banned in Several Middle Eastern Countries

[Locutus]

Censor boards in Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have informed Paramount they will not release the Biblical epic, which begins its global rollout later this month.

Darren Aronofsky's Noah -- inspired by the Biblical story of Noah's ark -- is starting to come under fire in the Middle East for contradicting Islamic law by portraying a prophet.


On Thursday, censorship boards in Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates informed Paramount they will not allow the release of the film. Similar rulings are expected in Egypt, Jordan and Kuwait, according to Paramount insiders.


In Egypt, the leading Sunni Muslim institute Al-Azhar issued a statement on Thursday condemning the Paramount movie, saying it should be banned in that country.

Makes me wanna get a pirated copy to watch, ....... I mean Netflix it.

Who was the Prophet? Noah was a carpenter and even though he had a mission he wasn't trying to get anybody to repent and the boat was always meant to hold just 8 people and if the son's wives aren't female giants it isn't as accurate as it could be.

The Jews were upset at Mel's cross movie because it let out that the Beloved Disciple was a woman, Mary of Bethany. It's actually true that is why the RCC isn't debunking the Mary M. theories that are floating around.
