1. Middle East Countries Ban Schindler's List For Being Too Jewish
Considering that most of the world's problems can be traced back to an argument between Jews and Muslims over a stretch of land near the Mediterranean, it won't surprise you that a lot of Islamic nations had a problem with Schindler's List. The Steven Spielberg blockbuster about Oskar Schindler, the German Nazi party member who risked everything to save 1200 Jews was quite rightly considered a high point in Spielberg's movie CV. But when it was released in 1994, it caused quite an uproar in some Muslim countries. The main quoted objections were that the film is too sympathetic to the Jewish cause, the film is disguised Jewish propaganda and that it contained too much nudity, sex and violence. Almost all the countries in the Middle East, apart from Israel, banned the film on one of the above grounds. The countries that requested Spielberg to edit out the sex and nudity were met with a ''HELL NO'' from the beardy director. The whole irrational reaction upset Spielberg who said;
"It's just disgraceful. It shocks me because I thought the Islamic countries would feel this film could be an instrument of their own issues in what was happening in Bosnia."
