Malaysian Muslims offended by comedy

Evan Almighty poster Evan Almighty, a sequel to Bruce Almighty, stars Steve Carell as an American congressman to whom God hands the task of building an ark ready for the next big flood.

No, it didn’t strike me as being a very funny idea either, but offensive? Apparently so.

Malaysia’s influential Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) has decided that the film is insulting to Islam and is demanding that the film be banned.

They also object to the fact that Morgan Freeman plays God in the film. I agree. Brian Blessed should play god.
