Kuwait bans Fahrenheit 9/11

Kuwait has banned Michael Moore\'s anti-Bush documentary, deeming it critical of the Iraq war and insulting to Saudi Arabia\'s royal family.
An information ministry official from the Arab state, which was invaded by Iraq in 1990, said it could not show a movie that was disrespectful of an allied country.

"We have a law that prohibits insulting friendly nations, and ties between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are special," Abdul-Aziz Bou Dastour, cinema and production supervisor at the Kuwaiti information ministry, told Associated Press.

He said the film "insulted the Saudi royal family by saying they had common interests with the Bush family and that those interests contradicted the interests of the American people".

Dastour also says that the film criticised the US\'s Iraq invasion: "This was tantamount to criticising Kuwait for [what it did] to liberate Iraq."

"The movie made Iraq look like a paradise whose problems started with the American invasion," Dastour said. "It would have angered Kuwaitis."

The movie was banned last month when the only cinema company in Kuwait, which is state-owned, was turned down for a licence to show the movie.

Meanwhile, the Saudi ambassador to Britain, Prince Turki al-Faisal, labelled Moore\'s movie "grossly unfair" in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph. He claims the filmmaker was offered a visa to travel to the Arab kingdom but never came.

"He missed an important opportunity to find out key facts," he said.

Censorship is bad mmkay.  That place needs to run out of oil so they have to use their brains to get anywhere in life rather than what\'s beneath their land.

It is no surprise.  Kuwait and Saudi Arabia will not show this film.  If  you would have asked me if they would 6 months ago I would have said no.  They are not the most open societies - especially when a film is criticizing the royal family.  I don\'t think it is really important in the grand scheme of things anyway.
