Yassir Arafat is not the only person to have a private screening of Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ", which he recently watched with two English Christian leaders in Ramallah. The film is everywhere, and Gaza's marketplaces offer illegal copies, too. "The impact of the film in predominantly Muslim nations in the Middle East is phenomenal," say Christians in the region. Bahrain's cinema owners threaten legal action. In Bahrain, cinema owners threatened legal action to force the authorities to allow the film to be shown. According to a report in the newspaper Akhbar Al Khaleej, hundreds of Muslims and Christians complained that the Information Ministry initially banned the film, and supported action to force permission to be given to show it. Bahrain's Sunnite Muslims oppose the film's showing, but Shi’ite Muslims support it. Joel News International, April 2004
