Anti-US protests rock Muslim world

Posted by Felix Okoli on September 15, 2012 at 03:38:28:

Around the muslim world, there is an increasing number of public protests against the US and US interests. Already some terrorists have used it as a cover to kill the US ambassador and other US officials in Benghazi Libya following the violence that broke out there.

The anti-US protest is as a result of growing condemnation against a low scale movie by an America which depicted Muhammed in the movie Innocence of Muslims. Many muslims have claimed that if offends their religion and their prophet.

Already, there have been growing protests in Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Malaysia

There have been some uploads of the video on YouTube although Youtube has already removed some of the videos but more videos are being uploaded by multiple users and already getting millions of views. I also heard another report that YouTube said it will not remove some of the movies already uploaded but will block access to it from countries who deem it offensive.

I included this one which was uploaded 3 days ago and it already has over 3 million views.

My question is; "Why kill or attack innocent people when these muslims can simply sue the man responsible for producing the movie"?

What is happening now is that there are protest against US embassies across the world, US flags are being burned, US nationals are being targeted and we don't know when this violence will abate.

THE STARK IRONY OF “INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS”
That the controversial anti-Muhammad movie “Innocence of Muslims” has been generally denounced all over the Islamic world and elsewhere is no longer news. That our Muslim brothers and sisters should have paid more attention to the timeless value of the culture of non-violence and forbearance in protesting the irreligious portrayal of Islam and the Prophet is a position I tenaciously hold. That there are a lot of lessons we can still learn from the current messy and chaotic situation is to say the obvious. However, that the world is presently looking at the stark irony that surrounds the ‘facts’ and ‘fictions’ emerging from the production of the infamous film is what I do not know yet.
The said movie depicts Muhammad as a fraud and impostor and portrays his followers as fools. But then, if what I read from the casting notice of the film on the internet sometime in mid-2011 or so is anything to go by, it was most probably cast and shot as “Desert Warrior”, with the duo of Sam Bassiel and Alan Roberts as the producer and director respectively. This then implies that deceit and deception reigned supreme ab initio from the time the casting calls were publicized by the producer, making him the worst and most dubious fraud in the ongoing drama. In fact, to say the least, it is culpably fraudulent to have sent out casting notice for a movie camouflaged as “Desert Warrior”, whereas what he really had in mind was actually “Innocence of Muslims”. Surely, this was purposively done with intent to deliberately and criminally mislead the potential cast and crew. This viewpoint is further reinforced by the fact that the work was originally introduced to the internet world as “an HD 24P historical Arabian Desert adventure film.”
Moreover, when the disjointed story lines being ‘paraded’ by some of the cast in the movie are juxtaposed with the final product that has now caused so much acrimony that threatens the present fragile peace in the Arab nations that have been experiencing political uprisings in recent times, one is inclined to think that there was some unscrupulous script rewriting and unethical editing after the movie had been shot, which is evident, for instance, in the smart but noticeable voice superimposition in some of the drama scene. No matter the excuse of the production personnel, I believe this is absolutely unprofessional and grossly unfair to the ‘innocent’ actors, actresses and others who were ‘lured’ into taking part in the film. Again, this makes the producer the worst and most despicable and callous fraudster.
Furthermore, the story now surfacing describes the man Sam Bassiel (Bacile) as a real estate developer. Looking at the crudity of the ultimate production (at least, as seen in the clips on YouTube), I have no doubt that he only disguised as an expert in film making, making him the worst impostor, who knows next to nothing about making reputable movies that could withstand professional scrutiny and stand the test of time. Indeed, going by what the US authorities and independent investigators are presently unearthing about the producer’s real identity, I make bold to say that all the aforementioned negative qualifications are not atypical of this man’s unwholesome antecedent reputation. Thus, it is incredible and pathetically ironical that this kind of film is emanating from him: the pot calling the kettle black!
Finally, this little write-up would fall short of its scope and objective if it fails to say something substantial about the “innocence” of the participants in the production of the film. It is unfortunate and leaves much to be desired for the producer to have successfully bamboozled the entire actors, actresses and other crew members like Cindy Lee Garcia, Tim Dax and Jimmy Israel – since what they are now telling the whole world in their belated joint statement issued to voice out their ‘culpable innocence’ and denounce the final product “Innocence of Muslims” is that they were deceived by him. How could they all have been so cheaply fooled? Or rather, so ‘expensively’ fooled, because he must have paid them so heavily for the production of the $5 million project! At any rate, as the Bible says, “the love of money is the root of all evil”; their love of money might have turned them into the worst and most gullible fools! http://sp875sp.blogspot.com/
