The Israeli filmmaker who created the film “Innocence of Muslims” which ignited ultraconservative Islamist violent acts, is now in hiding.
There have been assaults on the U.S. Embassy in Egypt and the U.S. Consulate in Libya.
Sam Bacile states “Islam is a cancer, period” and that his film is a provocative political statement which condemns the religion.
Claims are made in the film that Muhammad was a fraud, a “feckless philanderer” and an “approver of child sexual abuse”.
Bacile was warned that he might be the next Theo van Gogh. A Muslim extremist killed Van Gogh after making a film that appeared to be an insult to Islam.
I am not trying to side the makers of this film, I understand that even if portions of that film are the bold truth, it is in no ones interest to release this and get a bunch of uneducated brain washed fanatics killing people.
But then again, what happened to our first ammendment right and our freedom of speech? Why are we bending over in the west to accommodate Islamic sensitivities but but no one questions that the Arab/Persian/Pakistani media spew hate in all forms of thier media against Christians and Jews daily?
Muslim rioting, violence in Israel, Gaza, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco, Iraq, Iran and Kashmir.
The film is just a pretext. This is an all-out push to intimidate the West into restricting speech so that Islam and Muslims are established as a privileged class beyond criticism.
