Charles Johnson spots "Malaysian Muslims Seething Over Morgan Freeman"; he links to this AFP article:
Malaysian Muslims have called for a ban on the blockbuster [define blockbuster please--Ed] movie “Evan Almighty,” saying it is offensive to their religion, state media reported Friday.
Malaysia’s influential Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) said the comedy, which plays on the story of Noah’s ark and features actor Morgan Freeman as God, was insulting to Islam.
“The movie refers to the big flood during the time of Prophet Noah, but this has been turned into a comedy which is insulting to Islam,” Secretary-General Maamor Osman told news agency Bernama.
“Featuring a human being as God in the movie is also against Islam,” he added.
