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.
