Darksiders banned in Arab Emirates

Gameslatest is reporting that THQ won't be able to release Vigil Games' Darksiders as it has received the honorable label of "Banned".
Apparently, UAE officials usually don't give any reason for banning things other than that it (in this case, the game) “contradicts with UAE’s customs and traditions”.
It's expected that other countries in the same region will follow the decision made by the United Arab Emirates.
I can imagine this game contradicting UAE's customs and traditions. After all, it's centered around the Apocalypse and I doubt that's part of the Koran... Freedom of religion & speech isn't available everywhere yet.
