From a great piece by Amir Taheri:

The anti-Bush sentiment of the ruling elites in the Middle East is reflected in efforts to screen “Fahrenheit 9/11,” Michael Moore’s celluloid attack on the U.S. president. Last week, the mullahs running the Farabi Cinema complex in Tehran scrapped the season’s program to screen Moore’s “documentary.”
“This film unmasks the Great Satan America,” a spokesman said. “It tells Muslim people why they are right in hating America. It is the duty of every believer to see [this film] and learn the truth.”
With the exception of Kuwait, which has banned it, Moore’s film is shown or sold in pirated cassette form throughout the Arab world. Anti-American Arab television stations, including one owned by the Lebanese branch of the Hezbollah, have broadcast chunks of Moore’s attack on Bush with commentaries more virulent than the original.
