History Channel Says Satan Does Not Look Like Obama....


ABC News
March 18, 2013


Creators of the History channel's "The Bible" today rejected suggestions that the character of Satan in the popular mini-series resembles President Obama.
 
"This is utter nonsense," producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett said in a statement. "The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouazanni, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics - including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our president."

The History channel said any claims of a resemblance are "false."

"HISTORY channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection," the channel said.
 
The 10-hour series, produced by Downey and Burnett, who also produced "Survivor," began airing March 3 and will conclude on March 31. The series has been pulling in strong ratings, with the premiere viewed by 13.1 million.
 
Sunday night's reveal of Satan led many viewers to take to social media to express their surprise with the casting choice.
 
"Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on History Channel looks exactly like That Guy?" conservative commentator Glenn Beck tweeted.
 
"Did you catch # TheBible last night? Obama made an appearance," Twitter user Chris Forewit wrote.
 
The White House did not immediately respond to ABC News when reached for comment.
 
The casting decision recalls the uproar when it was revealed that the creators of "Game of Thrones" used a faux severed replica of former President George W. Bush's head mounted on a stake in a number of scenes in the hit series. HBO quickly released an apology over its inclusion.

Crazy. But ff all actors out there, must they use that Morrocan guy to play as Satan. These ppl are asking for Media attention. They know he looks like Obama in a way. Just another way to give Obama another negative name/stigma

God isnt human like us. God is a spirit. God is Jesus in the form of man though. But no one 100% knows how Jesus really accurately looked like. Even scientist dont 100% know. Some paint him white with black hair, some with brown hair, and other skin shades and eye colors. They did a documentary of how Jesus looks like using an image on a shroud. But how do we know the image from the shroud is really of Jesus and the image on the shroud wasnt just one of the thousands of ppl that the Romans crucified. Overall Its all predictions & no truth to it. Unless you were around in the days of the bible you will never know how Jesus looks like until his second coming or when you make it to heaven.
