RUSSELL Crowes Biblical epic Noah is facing bans in Islamic countries because it conflicts with laws against portraying a prophet. The Hollywood Reporter says censor boards in Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have informed Paramount they will not release the film, based on the story of Noahs ark. Similar rulings are expected in Egypt, Jordan and Kuwait, according to Paramount insiders. In Egypt, the leading Sunni Muslim institute Al-Azhar issued a statement on Thursday condemning the Paramount movie, saying it should be banned in that country. Al-Azhar renews its rejection to the screening of any production that characterises Allahs prophets and messengers and the companions of the Prophet [Muhammad], the statement said. Therefore, Al-Azhar announces the prohibition of the upcoming film about the Allahs messenger Noah -- peace be upon him.
