    The “Barbie” movie has been banned in Kuwait and could soon be
    forbidden in other parts of the Middle East because the film “promotes homosexuality” and carries “ideas that encourage unacceptable
    behavior,” according to government officials.

    The Greta Gerwig-directed “preachy, man-hating” film, per Bill Maher,
    will not appear in theaters in Kuwait and could also soon be banned in
    Lebanon, per The Hollywood Reporter.

    Kuwait announced it had banned “Barbie” and the supernatural horror
    film “Talk to Me” to protect “public ethics and social traditions,”
    according to Reuters.

    The chairman of Kuwait’s film censorship committee, Lafi Al-Subaie,
    accused the film of “carrying ideas that encourage unacceptable
    behavior and distort society’s values,” local media outlets reported.

    Lebanon’s cultural minister, Mohammad Mortada, also moved to ban the
    film, stating that it promotes “homosexuality and sexual
    transformation” and “contradicts values of faith and morality” by
    diminishing the importance of the family unit, according to Reuters.

    Based on Mortada’s comments, Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi asked
    General Security’s censorship committee to review the film and give its recommendation, with it widely believed it will also be banned, THR
    noted.

    Despite earlier reports that the movie, about a Barbie doll coming to
    life, would be banned in larger markets like Saudi Arabia and the
    United Arab Emirates, it was announced this week the film would hit
    theaters on August 10 in those countries.

    Last month, the feminist fantasy film was banned in Vietnam due to
    content that government officials found offensive.

    It has to do with the film’s imagery of a South China Sea map. This
    region has been a point of contention between Vietnam and China for
    years, and a map in the movie shows a U-shaped “nine-dash line” in the
    South China Sea.

    “We do not grant license for the American movie ‘Barbie’ to release in
    Vietnam because it contains the offending image of the nine-dash line,”
    Vi Kien Thanh, head of the Department of Cinema, a government body in
    charge of licensing and censoring foreign films, was quoted as saying
    in the state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper.

    When the Muslims take over the USA all homosexuality will finally be banned. Until then all of us should try to be like Muslims with their high moral standards.

    Hopefully they won't be in charge when it's time to sentence Trump because they'll likely chop his head off.

    It's promoting tolerance of criminal activity in those places. It's like if you produced and showed a movie tolerating pedophilia today in a blue state, it's illegal and would not be allowed. Though in 20 years...
