RABAT (AFP) - Morocco banned biblical epic Exodus: Gods And Kings on the flight of the Jews from ancient Egypt because it "represents God", which is forbidden under Islam, its distributor said Saturday.
The distributor said it had received written notice that Ridley Scott's blockbuster contained a scene that represents God in the form of a "child who gives a revelation to the prophet Moses".
Initially, cinema owners were informed verbally that the film had been banned, media reports had said.
"I deplore this censorship," distributor Mounia Layadi Benkirane said in a statement to AFP.
