A day earlier, Morocco banned the Ridley Scott movie as it was about to be screened in theatres throughout the country, The New York Times reported. Morocco banned the film because of scenes that showed G-d in a corporeal form.
The United Arab Emirates over the weekend also reportedly decided to bar the release of the film, claiming inaccuracies in the account of the biblical story.
“This movie is under our review and we found that there are many mistakes not only about Islam but other religions, too,” Juma Obeid Al Leem, the director of Media Content Tracking at the National Media Council in the UAE, told Gulf News. “So we will not release it in the UAE.”
