Why 'United 93' Must Be Screened In Kuwait

| 2 Comments
Update: The film was eventually screened in Kuwait. Kudos to Cinescape and the Ministry of Information.

It is imperative that films such as UNITED 93 be seen in the Arab World - and especially in Kuwait - so that the "man on the street" can see first-hand how fanaticism and terror at the hands of some warped, demented criminals have overshadowed the true Islamic values of compassion, tolerance and the pursuit of peace (that the majority of the Arab and Muslim world embrace) and how it destroys innocent lives.

The Ministry of Information seems to conclude time and again that audiences cannot or should not handle films dealing with real life subjects matters such as Middle East fanaticism and corruption (SYRIANA), adultery, drugs, among other issues. They think 4 year olds should watch the same kinds of films an adult watches - they are one audience according to the Censorship Bureau.

I hope the Ministry of Information does not ban UNITED 93 or edit any major sequences. Nevertheless, expect the unexpected with them; they banned THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST (the only Gulf country to do so), DODGEBALL, BRIDGET JONES: EDGE OF REASON, BE COOL and a myriad of other films that should have never been banned. They also banned HELLBOY, a tongue-in-cheek comic book adaptation because it featured "a character from Hell."
