Did Judas Iscariot write anything and were his writings in the Bible?
A Gospel of Judas Iscariot appears to have been in use among the Cainites, an early Gnostic sect. The Gospel was also mentioned by Irenaeus. However, it should be remembered that all the gospels, even those now in the Bible, were not really written by the disciples to whom they were attributed - so Judas Iscariot did not really write anything. One branch of Christianity came to dominate and was the branch that selected the gospels that it would include in its Bible. With the possible exception of John's Gospel, it did not include any Gnostic gospels.

What chapters were taken out of the Bible?
No gospels were taken "out" of the original Bible. This is a claim that is central to the books by Dan Brown, but has no basis in fact. There are other books that are labeled Gospels, such as the Gospel of Thomas, which were known in some parts of the early church but never given the same status as the canonical Gospels. Here is a link to some information about the set of these gospels known as the Gnostic gospels if you wish to do some further reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnostic_gospels
Why were the Gnostic Gospels banned?
When Emperor Constantine came to power he granted the Christian Church state privileges and patronage, but this was only to apply to the Catholic-Orthodox branch of Christianity. While he ensured the return of any Church property to this branch of Christianity, he permitted the property of the Gnostic branch to remain expropriated. throughout the fourth century, the Gnostics were treated as heretics and persecuted, along with the pagans. When Emperor Theodosius declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in 380 CE, ha added that this was Christianity "as preached by the bishops of Rome and Alexandria," thus outlawing the Arian Church and the Gnostics sects. The bishops led Christian mobs in burning all publications, some extremely ancient, that did not further the objectives of the official Church. So, not only were the pagan books burnt and destroyed, so also were the sacred texts of the Gnostics. Some Gnostic gospels and other texts were hidden to avoid destruction, including the library at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, where the extremely dry air has allowed the Gnostic gospels to be preserved up to their twentieth-century discovery. The Gnostic gospels were banned and then almost destroyed out of intolerance, bigotry and prejudice.
