A Tunisian court sounded the final death knell to the film “Wonder Woman” — a country touted by leftists as an example of “moderate” Muslim governance, by the way — and ruled that movie, starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot, may not be shown in any theaters across the country.
Previously, the North African country had suspended the movie from playing, as previously reported by PamelaGeller.com.
But now, this court ruling takes the suspension a step farther and makes it final: No “Wonder Woman” for Tunisia.
AFP has more (on Breitbart):
A Tunisian court has banned the US film “Wonder Woman” which stars Israeli actress Gal Gadot, more than a month after it had been scheduled to open at cinemas in the Arab state, a legal source said Wednesday.
Lebanon has also banned Wonder Woman, on the grounds of a long-standing boycott of Israel.
The film was to have been screened at two venues in Tunis in early June but the showings were “suspended” following a complaint from the nationalist Al-Chaab party.
The court finally decided to impose the ban last Friday, prosecution spokesman Sofiene Sliti said, although the verdict was only disclosed to the media this week without a reason given for the judgement.
Al-Chaab demanded the film be banned because its leading actress, Gal Gadot, praised the Israeli military in a widely shared Facebook post during the 2014 Gaza war, sending prayers to soldiers “who are risking their lives protecting my country against the horrific acts conducted by Hamas.”
The case sparked controversy in Tunisia, with supporters of the ban calling for “no normalization” of ties with the Jewish state and others criticizing censorship.

quran pigs
tunisia, who cares, another piece of the sewer line that is islam.
I used to know a Tunisian muslum whose Arabpig name, Muktar, meant leader of the village or something like that. A Christian Lebanese guy I knew got in a vicious argument in Arabpig w/this muslum donkey and refused to speak to him ever again.
In the grand scheme of gross box office sales, Tunisia means nothing. Who do they think they are.
Every Islamic country is backward and even the toilet paper is imported.
No surprise. Nothing is produced in islamic countries, except bomb vests and more sadistic methods to kill the infidel
They do produce a lot of men loving goat porn.
They have toilet paper?
Wonder Woman is doing just fine without the Nazis in Tunisia.
Moving Past $750 million worldwide… and more than a month since it’s release, is still
holding better at the Box Office than other superhero films.

Islamic countries should ban all non-muslim inventions and products. Also ban guns and explosives which are infidel inventions. Ban the printing press which was a Christian invention that is used to print their filthy Quran. Ban alcohol and depend on their dumb Allah to protect them from infections.
They’d have nothing left to call their own if all non Muslim inventions were banned. Eradicate Islam altogether and the world will be better off.
Inventions such as algebra?
Algebra (from Arabic “al-jabr” meaning “reunion of broken parts”[1])
The Arabic term al-jabr probably originally referred specifically to the method of solving quadratic equations by completing the square (see to complete the square at complete v. Additions). The term achieved currency through the title of the 9th-cent. mathematical treatise by al-Ḵwārizmī, al-kitāb al-muḵtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wal-muqābala ‘The Concise Book on Calculation by Restoration and Compensation’.

Stupid act of censorship which will soon be imported to more and more Western countries.
BTW it’s a pity that the number of comments went down so much after moving to disqus. I hope that is not reflected in the site’s traffic.
THESE guys are AFRAID of women!
How shallow and immature they are. I don’t remember them telling anybody to shut down that GAY cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain awhile back, do you?
They were hoping there would be many handsome goats on the Brokeback Mountain.
Sharia police found a gorgeous hot jew, inserted as the main character in a blockbuster, well reviewed by critics, doing great at boxoffice. To make things even worse, it’s a woman empowered as a superhero.
The ultimate muslim nightmare all come together.
Muslim’s jew hating at its worse.
Yet another example of how deeply rooted antisemitism is in Muslim countries. No wonder every Islamic state is a failed state. If all that negative Muslim hate of Jews (and other infidels) was turned into positive energy, perhaps the worshipers of Allah might be capable of creating something good and meaningful in this world.
Islam is cursed by God. Even their fake god Allah has abandoned them.
