Lebanon bans film that criticizes Iran. You won't believe the reason given.

From Ya Libnan:
Lebanese authorities have banned the screening of a film depicting the 2009 post-election “Green Movement” protests in Iran, organizers of a local film festival said on Sunday.

“‘The Silent Majority Speaks’, the admirable visual essay of filmmaker Bani Khoshnoudi, has been censored in Beirut,” a statement from the Cultural Resistance International Film Festival organizers said.

“The film was to be screened tonight… At noon, the Censorship Committee served notice to the festival’s organizers that it was banned for ‘insulting a foreign country,'” the statement added.
The Lebanese police must be on their way right now to arrest Hassan Nasrallah for insulting Israel!
