Malaysia has become the latest country to ban biblical epic Noah for breaking Islamic codes which prohibit visual depiction of prophets.



A home ministry official Saturday confirmed that Paramount’s latest big budget film, which has sparked an outcry among Muslim groups worldwide, will not be screened in predominantly Muslim Malaysia.

The film has already angered some Christian institutions in the United States over Crowe’s reportedly unconventional portrayal of Noah, who is regarded as an important figure in both Christianity and Islam.

Malaysia’s home ministry’s Film Censorship Board unit chairman Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid said a decision to ban the Noah film was made about two weeks ago.

“Yes, I can confirm that it has been banned by the board, the movie can cause quite a lot of anger and distress if it is shown in Malaysia,” he was quoted as saying by The Malay Mail Online.

Abdul Halim said the main reason for the ban was the portrayal of Noah by Crowe, since Islam forbids visual depictions of any prophet.

Neighbouring Indonesia, Egypt and United Arab Emirates have banned the film because of scenes they say contradict Islam.

Malaysia has censored other movies on religious grounds in the past, including Brokeback Mountain and The Passion of the Christ.

Hollywood always using their film as tools all the time so as their media. it's like all of them are  working together. They wont show the bad side of Yankee never. See this video of Police brutality in California. Specifically  Carson, California  here http://bit.ly/1h1n8Yw

Topsy may the spirite of madness in u never leave until he distroy and ur entire house hold, i bind u in Jesus name, and i send u and the demon of poverty and madness in u with u alltogether to the pit of hell where u belong.
