Rough Seas on "Noah": Darren Aronofsky Opens Up on the Biblical Battle to Woo Christians
One viewer, who declined to give his name because Paramount required
him to sign a nondisclosure agreement, echoed the sentiments of others
by criticizing the depiction of "Noah" as a "crazy, irrational,
religious nut" who is fixated on modern-day problems like
overpopulation and environmental degradation

Months from the official release of the latest Judeo-Hollywood movie release of Noah, a "SERIOUS CONTROVERSY" has erupted!
No, not about Christians objecting to a modern-day Jewish movie
producer's take on telling a well-known Jewish genocidal story
about God killing all of mankind, except of course for a handful of
Jews.
No, not about Christians objecting to a movie equating Noah to the
modern-day Jewish thoughts, hopes and desires for world-wide genocide
-- Jew exempted of course -- because we humans are messing up the
world's environment through overpopulation and climate change.
No, not even about Christians objecting to a beloved Biblical character
being portrayed as a crazy, irrational, religious nut ("i.e. a
knuckle-dragging, right-wing, Tea Party, Fundamentalist").
The controversy everyone is talking about is the intolerant Muslims who object to "their prophets" being portrayed -- at all!
'Noah' Banned in Several Middle Eastern Countries
Censorship boards in Qatar, Bahrain
and the United Arab Emirates informed Paramount they will not allow the
release of the film. 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 characterizes Allah's prophets and
messangers and the companions of the Prophet [Muhammad]," the statement
read.

Contrast the "controversy" over Noah with the lack of controversy over "Son of God".
What about
"Son of God"?
Now that the "Son of God" movie has been released, the silence about it in the Judeo-MSM is deafening.
If the Muslims are offended by a movie about Noah, months before it is
released, imagine how offended they will be if they were told about
Christians making a movie calling Christ, "their prophet", to be the
Son of God!
Must not let that ever happen. If the Muslims ever got word such a movie had been made, all JIHAD would break loose!
Well, it turns out that Muslims are aware of this movie as well as Mel
Gibson's movie 'Passion of the Christ', released exactly 10-years-ago.
Begging for a banning" Jesus Christ biopic "The Son of God" movie may hit the Middle East
But the film has received scare coverage in Arab media and is perhaps
comparable to the 2004 release of Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ,”
which was lauded by some in the region, but banned by more conservative Arab states.
Exactly 10 years ago, the film was screened in Egypt, Jordan,
Syria and Lebanon – countries home to large Christian populations - and
drew enthusiastic crowds.
But it also attracted scorn from a top Shiite cleric in
Kuwait, Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer al-Mehri, who urged his government to
let the film be shown in theaters there because it "reveals crimes
committed by Jews against Christ," according to a report in Middle East
newspaper The Daily Star.

Did I get that right?
"The Passion of the Christ" was acceptable by a Muslim Shiite cleric for Muslims to view?
Seems Muslims are tolerant after all!
Tolerant indeed -- and smart! The cleric deemed it essential for Muslims to see Jewish crimes against Christ.
Will the same happen with "Son of God"? I doubt it.
First off, the name itself is totally offensive to Muslims, so a Muslim
will have a hard time getting past that. However, a name change
for release in the Middle East could easily fix that part of the
problem.
The main problem for release in the Middle East will be the way Jews are portrayed.
Wherein "The Passion of the Christ" rightfully portrayed a loathing,
envious, Pharisee dictatorship bent at maintaining control at all costs
and hiding their sinful crimes by forcing Roman hands to be seen as the
hands that kill Christ, thereby allowing the Jewish clergy to "wash
their hands clean of their crimes", this new movie, "Son of God" goes
to great lengths portraying the Jewish clergy as complete innocents
whose only crime, if any, was that "The Romans made me do it".
This movie follows the moral of the story we get from Star Trek when it
comes to the betrayal of Christ. "The needs of the many far outweigh
the needs of the few or THE ONE"
Doubt Christians will hear Muslims complaining much about Jewish
leaders and their followers being snow white doves when it comes to the
death of Christ -- for it may cause Christians to open up their Bibles
to get the true first-hand account of what actually happened.
