Nutters march in Malawi
Muslims in Malawi are calling for The Da Vinci Code to be banned in the country.
Shareef Mahomed, secretary-general of the Muslim Association of Malawi, claimed that “the contents of the film are acts of blasphemy and the government should not allow its distribution in a country where Jesus is accepted as Allah’s (God’s) prophet.”
He goes on to say that “the Muslim community at large is deeply offended by the movie… in presenting the view that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene,” although he provides no explanation as to why this should be so offensive to Muslims.
There has been no official reaction from the major Christian churches in Malawi.

Well so I guess I wasnt the only one suprised. I wonder y ban such an investigative book if its full of hypocrisy, y not let the people read and make their own conclusions.
