“The fault of the flock comes from the shepherd.” -Arab Proverb
A Z-rated film has ignited the planet and revived the hate among Muslims, Christians and Jews. Who is behind this plot which has cost one U.S. diplomat his life?
His name is Sam Bacile. This moronic director claims to have collected $5 million from around 100 Jewish donors, which tells us a little more about the motive behind making this movie. It took 60 actors and a 45-person production team to record this film in three months in California.
“The movie is a political movie. It’s not a religious movie,” he said in a statement to an American newspaper in order to justify his cause. The film, which was screened to general indifference at an LA cinema three months ago, has sent shockwaves throughout the Muslim world following one click on YouTube.
The trailer, posted on YouTube in July, had passed relatively unnoticed until not so long ago, when Twitter users posted it on the social network. Meanwhile, someone (probably a Jew) has translated the film into Arabic in order to provoke Muslims who were not yet aware of this low-end production.
Undoubtedly, this dishonorable portrayal of the Prophet will spark a chain reaction among Muslims, as was the case with Salman Rushdie’s book or the Danish cartoons. The objective was to shake the Arab world; it has led to the death of an American ambassador. Mission accomplished.
The director, hiding behind the pseudonym Sam Bacile, is sorry for the U.S. civil servant’s death; however, he justified what happened by the lack of protection for U.S. embassies. This incident will certainly result in disastrous consequences for relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world at a time when America is emerging from the nightmare of September 11. This film, which does nothing to honor America, not to mention Hollywood, will provoke serious consequences in the audiovisual and cinematographic world.
In order to avoid uprisings similar to those in Libya and Egypt from occurring, which would be directly attributable to this Islam-hostile Israeli-American video, some countries have asked YouTube to remove the video. In Pakistan, which has a track record of blocking sites disseminating content deemed offensive to Islam, YouTube has already been blocked. Reuters has confirmed that YouTube has been blocked in Afghanistan by government order.
The video has still been viewed by many Algerians on Facebook; hostile reactions have already occurred denouncing this production. It remains to be seen whether some Algerian TV channels will broadcast excerpts from this offensive video.
