Morocco officials overturn ban on Exodus

Sir Ridley Scott’s new Biblical epic Exodus: Gods And Kings will now be screened in Moroccan cinemas after cuts were made to satisfy film authorities. The blockbuster was banned in Morocco, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates due to “historical inaccuracies”.
Members of the Moroccan review board took issue with lines of dialogue between Christian Bale’s Moses and an 11-year-boy, who could be viewed as a physical representation of God, a notion which is forbidden in Islam.
Scott and his producers took out the offending remarks and the movie has now been cleared for theatrical release.
A statement from the Moroccan Cinematography Center reads, “They went ahead and made the desired change, removing two audio passages that alluded to the personification of the Divine.”
