A torrential downpour of Muslim bans has Paramount Pictures' "Noah" bogged down in the Middle East prior to its March 28 release. Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have already confirmed that they will ban the film in their countries…. Other Muslim countries including Jordan, Kuwait and Egypt are expected to do the same, reports The Independent.
The ban boycotts the depiction of Noah, who survived the Flood by
building an ark according to G-d's word, as related in the Torah…
…The
disclaimer to the film argues that "while artistic license has been
taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values, and
integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of
people worldwide."
Ironically, the filming was set back by flooding in 2012 due to the Hurricane Sandy. A trailer of the film can be seen here:

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. |
