Saudi Minister of Culture and censorship of movies

I am not making this up.  There are no movie theaters in Saudi Arabia but the Saudi Minister of Culture (who tried with tons of money to pressure Al-Akhbar newspaper in Beirut to ban me from writing), but the Minister of Culture in Saudi Arabia, `Abdul-`Aziz Al-Khujah, offered to censor movies if they were to be allowed in Saudi Arabia.  Kid you not.
