Fury: The U.S. Consulate in Benghazi is seen in flames after a mob attacked the base
~ ‘The Innocence of Muslims’ trailer that sparked deadly riots in Libya & Egypt is inept and hateful.
Anti-Islam vanity project is a work of ignorance, hatred and utter incompetence
The riots in the Middle East over a micro-budget anti-Islamic film created by amateur moviemakers are, it goes without saying, horrific.
That the film is an obscenely inept vanity project called “The Innocence of Muslims” adds to it. A work of ignorance, hatred and utter incompetence, it shouldn’t deserve mention, let alone inspire so much tragedy.
A 13-minute trailer for “Innocence” can be seen on YouTube — a version in Arabic is reportedly what sparked protests — as the film is now unavailable anywhere, says the Dove World Outreach Center, the organization of Florida pastor Terry Jones, who is a producer on the film.
