Innocence of Muslims

Innocence of Muslims, previously called Innocence of Bin Laden (working title Desert Warrior, YouTube titles The Real Life of Muhammad and Muhammad Movie Trailer), is a privately[citation needed] produced low-budget 2012 film that disparages Islam and its prophet, Muhammad.[1] Months after its release, violent protests against Western institutions in several mostly Muslim countries around the world resulted in a number of deaths, and hundreds of injuries.
Two film trailers were released on YouTube, on July 1 and 2, 2012. The clips were dubbed into Arabic, and then spread by Egyptian-American lawyer and Coptic Christian Morris Sadek.[2]
On September 8, 2012, a two-minute excerpt was shown on Al-Nas TV, an Egyptian Islamist television station. Protests allegedly against the film on September 11, which spread to other nations over the following days, were accompanied by attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions on September 11, including an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that resulted in at least 14 deaths, including those of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.[3] The film has allegedly sparked protests around the world. U.S. law enforcement officials believe they have identified the filmmaker as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an Egyptian American who "was connected to the persona" of "Sam Bacile" linked to the making of the film.[1]



Background


Any visual depictions of Muhammad are considered forbidden in some traditions of Islam, for while the Quran does not explicitly forbid images of Muhammad, there are a few hadith (supplemental teachings) which have explicitly prohibited Muslims from creating visual depictions of figures. Such depictions have in the past at times led to mass protests and violence. The 1976 film Mohammad, Messenger of God, despite not actually showing Muhammad, led to the Hanafi Siege, in which a group of African-American gunmen took 149 people hostage, demanding the film's destruction. A series of cartoons depicting Muhammad published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005 resulted in mass protests and terrorist attacks.


Content and commentary

According to Reuters, the film trailer depicts Muhammad as a "fool, a philanderer and a religious fake,"[4] and "as a womanizer, a homosexual and a child abuser."[5][6][7] The video opens with Egyptian Muslims burning the homes of Egyptian Christians while Egyptian security forces are standing idle.[8] The next scene goes back to Muhammad's time. His wife Khadija is shown to create the Koran out of Old and New Testament verses; the film portrays this as the founding of Islam. The Prophet's followers are portrayed as "savage killers hungry for wealth and bent on killing women and children."[6] Sky News said the film clip was anti-Muslim and "designed to enrage".[9]
In the excerpt of the film and the trailer, the character of Muhammad calls a donkey "the first Muslim animal".[10] Time attributed the scene, depicting Muhammad having a "homoerotic, one-sided conversation with a donkey", to an essay by Father Zakaria Botros.[11]
Critics panned the film. It "includes not a single artistically redeemable aspect at all." The directing is "atrocious"; the sets "terrible"; the acting consists of "their blank eyes and strained line readings".[12] It’s been called an “inept vanity project” that's "far beneath any reasonable standard of moviemaking." Neumaier concludes "Even if you believe that art can be blasphemous, you’d have to consider this thing art first. And that is impossible to imagine."[13]
Muslim filmmaker Kamran Pasha commented that the film's portrayal was "utterly alien to the Islam of love and gentleness" he knew. He noted that although some accounts described Muhammad's consummation of marriage with Aisha at the age of nine, others disagreed; although Muhammad was polygamous, his household was "embarrassingly modest" compared to the harems of powerful men of the time; and that the killing of members of the Banu Qurayza was according to the Torah and comparatively merciful for the era


Production

The cast and crew have publicly stated that they were deceived about the purpose and content of the film. In a statement obtained by CNN, the film's 80 cast and crew members disavowed the film, saying: "The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer. We are 100% not behind this film and were grossly misled about its intent and purpose." It further explained, "We are shocked by the drastic re-writes of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."[15] Cindy Lee Garcia, who played the mother of Muhammad's bride-to-be, said the script was for a movie about life in Egypt 2,000 years ago, called Desert Warrior (and possibly also Desert Storm[16]), and that the character "Muhammad" was referred to as "Master George" on set. According to Garcia, "Bacile" claimed to be an Israeli real estate mogul. Later, however, he told her he was Egyptian and she heard him speaking in Arabic with other men on set. Garcia stated it makes her "sick" that she was involved in a film that caused people to die and that she is considering legal action against "Bacile."[17] Sarah Abdurrahman, a producer for WNYC's On the Media program, watched the trailer and concluded that all of the religious references were overdubbed after filming.[18] The independent film was produced and directed by a person first identified in casting calls as Alan Roberts.[1][19][17] After the film's original content was altered without knowledge of the original director, a man named "Sam Bacile" took credit for directing the film.
In September 2012, "Sam Bacile" took credit for directing the film, initially described as a 56-year-old (52-year-old according to the Wall Street Journal[20]) real estate developer from Israel who spoke by phone with the Associated Press.[3][21] Israeli authorities found no sign of him being an Israeli citizen,[22] and there was no indication of a 'Sam Bacile' around 50 years old living in California, having a real estate license[23] or participating in Hollywood filmmaking.[24] Though "Bacile" claimed the film had been made for $5 million from more than 100 Jewish donors,[25] Hollywood Reporter described the film's appearance as unprofessional, bringing this claim into doubt.[26] According to a man who identified himself to the Wall Street Journal as Bacile, the film was produced to call attention to what he called the "hypocrisies" of Islam.[27]
Later, "Sam Bacile" was identified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a Coptic Christian immigrant from Egypt living in Cerritos, California, near Los Angeles. In 2010, Nakoula, who had served prison time on a 1990s conviction for manufacturing methamphetamine, pleaded no contest to bank fraud and was sentenced to 21 months in prison;[28][29] he was released on probation from prison in June 2011.[30] Authorities said Nakoula told the police that he had written the movie's script while in prison and, together with his son, Abanob Basseley, raised between $50,000 and $60,000 from his wife's family in Egypt to finance the film.[31][29] According to CNN, the FBI contacted him because of the potential for threats, but he is not under investigation by the FBI.[32] However, federal officials are investigating whether Nakoula violated the terms of his prison release which required him to refrain using the Internet for five years.[33]
American non-profit Media for Christ obtained film permits to shoot the movie in August 2011, and Nakoula provided his home as a set and paid the actors, according to government officials and those involved in the production.[34] Media for Christ president Joseph Nassralla Abdelmasih reportedly went into hiding after the violent response to the film.[34]
Steve Klein, a Vietnam veteran who has been active in opposing Islam and has been associated with paramilitary "hate groups" at his church according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, was asked by Nakoula to be the spokesman for the film.[35] The movie's self-identified consultant, Klein reportedly told Nakoula: "You're going to be the next Theo van Gogh."[36] Klein later told journalist Jeffrey Goldberg that "Bacile" is not a real person and is not Israeli nor Jewish, as has been reported, and that the name is a pseudonym for about 15 Copts and Evangelical Christians from Syria, Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt; Goldberg questioned the reliability of Klein.[37] Klein rejected any blame for the violent reaction to the movie, saying, "Do I feel guilty that these people were incited? Guess what? I didn't incite them. They're pre-incited, they're pre-programmed to do this."[35]

Screening and promotion

On June 23, the movie was screened once under the title Innocence of Bin Laden to an audience of under 10 at The Vine Theatre, which rents space for private screenings, on Hollywood Boulevard.[36][38] According to one attendee, "The acting was of the worst caliber," and "had no inkling that that movie was anti-Islamic and did not recall the movie referencing the prophet Mohammad," but he did not see the whole film.[38]
Two clips were posted on YouTube on July 1 (13'02", title "The Real Life of Muhammad", comment "Part of the movie, "Life of Muhammad"..... اجزاء من فيلم حياة محمد") and 2nd (13'50", title "Muhammad Movie Trailer", comment "فضيحة الاسلام الكبري") by user "sam bacile".[39]
By September, it[clarification needed] had been dubbed into Arabic and was brought to the attention of the Arabic-speaking world by Coptic blogger Morris Sadek, whose Egyptian citizenship had been revoked for promoting calls for an attack on Egypt.[40][41]
The film has been promoted by pastor Terry Jones, whose burning of copies of the Quran previously led to deadly riots around the world. On September 11, 2012, Jones said that he planned to show a 13-minute trailer that night at his church the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida. Jones said in a statement that "it is an American production, not designed to attack Muslims but to show the destructive ideology of Islam. The movie further reveals in a satirical fashion the life of Muhammad."[3]

The Dajjal is reality

The Dajjal 


The third primary character that dominates Islamic eschatology is a man whose full title is Al-Maseeh (The Messiah) Ad-Dajjal, (The Liar/Deceiver).  Usually just referred to as the Dajjal, he is a bizarre character whose description and story seem far more fantastic than either the Mahdi or the Muslim Jesus.  There are numerous hadith that contain descriptions of the Dajjal.  Here we will just touch on the most common of these traditions to give an overview of just who this mysterious and strange person is.

 

 

The Dajjal is described as being a deceiver who will have miraculous powers and who will temporarily hold power over the whole earth:

The Prophet was warning us that in the last days there would be someone who would deceive all of humanity.  The Dajjal will possess power over this world.  Thus, Muslims must be careful not to have the love of the world in their hearts so they won’t leave their religion and follow him.  He will be able to heal the sick by wiping his hand on them, like Jesus did, but with this deceit the Dajjal will lead people down the path to hell.  Thus the Dajjal is the false Messiah, or Anti-Christ (Massih ad-Dajjal).  He will pretend to be the Messiah, and deceive people by showing them amazing powers.

Possibly the most frequently quoted reference to the Dajjal is that he is blind in one eye.  The Hadith however, are contradictory regarding which eye is blind:
 
Allah's Messenger made a mention of Dajjal in the presence of the people and said: Allah is not one-eyed and behold that Dajjal is blind of the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape. 2
 
Allah's Messenger said: Dajjal is blind of left eye with thick hair and there would be a garden and fire with him and his fire would be a garden and his garden would be fire.


The Dajjal is sometimes said to have the word “Infidel” (Kaafir) written in-between his eyes, possibly on his forehead.  But this word will only be perceptible to true Muslims, and no one else:
 
Allah's Messenger said: Dajjal is blind of one eye and there is written between his eyes the word "kaafir" (unbeliever/infidel). He then spelled the word as k. f. r., which every Muslim would be able to read. 4
 
Very Important is that; this word “Kafir” will be readable only by the believer, literate or illiterate.  Non-believer: let him be educated from “Oxford” or “Harvard” will not be able to read it.


Sheikh Kabbani describes some of the Dajjal’s miraculous powers:
 
The Dajjal will have powers of the devil.  He will terrorize the Muslims into following him, converting them into unbelief.  He will conceal the truth and bring forth falsehood.  The prophet said that the Dajjal will have the power to show the image of one’s dead ancestors on his hand, like a television screen.  The relative will say, “Oh my son! This man is correct.  I am in Paradise because I was good and I believed in him.”  In reality that relative is in hell.  If the relative says, “Believe in this man, I am in hell because I didn’t believe,” one must say to the Dajjal, “No, he is in Paradise.  This is false.” 6
 
The Prophet said: the Dajjal will say to a Bedouin Arab, “what will you think if I bring your father and mother back to life for you? Will you bear witness that I am your lord?  The Bedouin will say, “Yes.”  So two devils will assume the appearance of his father and mother, and say, “O my son, follow him for he is your lord…”


The above tradition shows that the Dajjal’s deceptive signs will be for the purpose of leading people into believing that the Dajjal is actually their “lord”. Muslim scholars universally have concluded that the Dajjal will claim to be divine.  According to the very well known Muslim scholar, Abu Ameenah Bilal Phillips, the Dajjal, “will claim to be God”.

While there are no specific traditions that state such directly, as a result of the fact that the Dajjal is, according to Islamic tradition, the false Jewish Messiah who claims to be God, most Muslims have deduced that the Dajjal will thus claim to be Jesus Christ by name.

 Muslim Scholar Muhammad Ali ibn Zubair Ali says of the Dajjal, “ He will travel at great speeds and his means of conveyance will be a giant mule… He will travel the entire world.” 9 As strange as this is, it also bears a faint resemblance to Jesus the Messiah who also rode a donkey as he entered Jerusalem during the final week of his ministry.


It is said that there are three cities that the Dajjal may not enter; Mecca, Medina and Damascus.  Muslims are encouraged to seek refuge from the Dajjal in one of these three cities:
 
The Prophet said, "Ad-Dajjal will come to Medina and find the angels guarding it. So Allah willing, neither Ad-Dajjal, nor plague will be able to come near it." 10
 
The coming of the Anti-Christ (Dajjal) must occur in the Last Days.  This dreadful event is approaching, and in that time only three cities will be safe: Makka, Madina, and Sham (Damascus).  If anyone wants safety in that time he will have to run to one of these three cities.


Apart from these three cities, it is said that the Dajjal will enter every single city, town and village in the world to test and possibly deceive every human alive. 


Muslims believe that if they memorize a particular portion of the Quran that they will be protected from the Dajjal.  It is somewhat like a verbal amulet that protects one from the powers of evil:
 
If the Dajjal comes upon someone who has memorized the first ten verses of Surat al Kahf (Chapter of the Cave) he cannot harm him. And whoever memorizes the last verses of Surat al-Kahf will have light on the day of Judgement.


Based on various Islamic traditions, Muslims believe that the Dajjal will be Jewish.  The title of a book by Muslim author Matloob Ahmed Qasmi, Emergence of the Dajjal, the Jewish King couldn’t make this point more clearly.  Imam Sheikh Ibrahim Madhi of the Palestinian Authority articulated the Islamic perspective regarding the expectation of the Jewish people quite well in one of his sermons:

The Jews await the false Jewish messiah, while we await, with Allah's help… the Mahdi and Jesus, peace be upon him.  Jesus's pure hands will murder the false Jewish messiah.  Where?  In the city of Lod, in Palestine. Palestine will be, as it was in the past, a graveyard for the invaders 14

Samuel Shahid, a Christian Arab scholar in his scholarly study of Islamic eschatology says of the Dajjal that he will be, “the embodiment of the Jewish hope and longing.  The bulk of his army is recruited from the Jews.

 As mentioned in the last chapter, the followers of the Dajjal will primarily consist of Jews and women.  It is mentioned that women are very ignorant and as such are easily misled.  Veliankode states, “Meanwhile, women will also fall to the deviant line of the Antichrist because of their unawareness and ignorance of Islam.


As mentioned in the last chapter, it will be the Muslim Jesus who will kill the Dajjal and his followers:
 
Allah's Messenger said: …the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah (Dajjal) would see him… Allah would kill them by his (Jesus’) hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).
