2007

Banned in Egypt. The culture minister told parliament, ” We ban any book that insults any religion. We will confiscate this book.” Parliament was debating the book at request of several Coptic Christian members who demanded a ban because “It’s based on Zionist myth, and it insults the Christian religion and Islam.” It was also banned in Iran.
