When first published, the “DaVinci Code” was banned from many Arab nations, including Egypt and Lebanon. The film version is now also being banned in many nations, but it will play in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE. There is a fear, however, that the censoring of the film may serve to increase interest from potential viewers in places where the film is banned, leading to more misunderstandings and false propaganda in the Arab world about Christianity.
