That stupid film made by people with the intellect of pre-teens; is causing riots, embassies to be burned down and real people to be killed?

The movie 'The Attack of the killer tomatoes' was a better film than the link shown above. No one in their right mind could take this seriously. Its absurd.

Has to be one of the worst movies ever made. A must see cult classic?

I wonder if Romney would be defending it as "free speech" if it was anti-Christian, anti-Jewish or anti-Mormon?

Romney, Obama, what difference? Why do sheeple on a peak oil forum still believe the POTUS has any real power?

Welcome to one of the great controversies.

This thing is a catalyst, meanwhile even on this forum, I'm sure almost everyone believes that the label "first oil shock=Arab embargo" is a correct historical label, right ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n interviews with the AP and the Wall Street Journal, a man calling himself "Sam Bacile" said he had raised about $5m to produce the film. He also was quoted describing Islam as "a cancer", and claimed he had raised money from "about 100 Jewish donors" to make the video.

The interview subject did not give the same age during his two known press interviews. He told the AP he was 56.

The man said the amateur, two-hour-long film had involved dozens of actors and was produced in California in 2011. New reports found no prior social media presence by the director or any International Movie Database page for the film.

In 2010, he pleaded no contest to charges of bank fraud in California. He was sentenced to 21 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $790,000 in restitution.

The director of the California Film Commission, which issues permits for films that are shot in the state, told the Huffington Post that no permit was ever granted to anyone by the name "Sam Bacile".

Actors who participated in the filming have emerged to say they had no idea the film was even about Muhammad or Islam. The original casting call was reportedly for a film called "Desert Warrior" by director Alan Roberts.

Reports indicate that all the film's religious references were actually dubbed after the original shooting.

According to the rioters, western countries must implement a Chinese style internet filter system and use it to ban such filth. Meanwhile the forced marriage of young girls to old men continues un-abated, the stoning/ jailing of converts away from Islam is still law in most Islamic countries and strangely there are no mass protests to ban porn from the net.
