Sri Lanka has banned screenings of The Da Vinci Code in theaters and local television channels following an appeal by the country's Catholic Bishops Conference, a state-run daily said on Thursday.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa ordered the ban on the film on Wednesday, the Daily News reported.
The movie had not yet hit theaters in Sri Lanka along with its worldwide release last week. Christians mostly Roman Catholics account for about 7.5 percent of Sri Lanka's population of nearly 19 million people, which is predominantly Buddhist.
There will be no ban on the sale of the book, the daily said. Many Christians have expressed outrage at the movie's theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had offspring, and that the Vatican and conservative Catholic group Opus Dei tried to cover it up.
"The movie attacks the very roots of Christian faith and hurts the sentiments of all Christians,"the Catholics Bishop Conference said in a letter to the Sri Lankan president. It called the movie as well as the book blasphemous.

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats that attack by running (executing) malicious code from memory locations that only Windows and other programs should use. This type of threat causes damage by taking over one or more memory locations in use by a program. Then it spreads and harms other programs, files, and even your e-mail contacts.

Unlike a firewall or antivirus program, DEP does not help prevent harmful programs from being installed on your computer. Instead, it monitors your programs to determine if they use system memory safely. To do this, DEP software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as "non-executable." If a program tries to run code—malicious or not—from a protected location, DEP closes the program and notifies you.

DEP can take advantage of software and hardware support. To use DEP, your computer must be running Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2), Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), or an x64-based version of a Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP operating system. DEP software alone helps protect against certain types of malicious code attacks but to take full advantage of the protection that DEP can offer, your processor must support "execution protection." This is a hardware-based technology designed to mark memory locations as non-executable. If your processor does not support hardware-based DEP, it's a good idea to upgrade to a processor that offers execution protection features.
