To begin with, the author tells us ,that the US administration falls into the former camp, blaming the past week of anti-American rioting and the murder of US officials on a dreadful YouTube film assailing the Prophet Mohammed.
The main thing that needs to be said is, that some of the rioters are citing Innocence of Muslims as a pretext for their destructive behaviour but, refreshingly, others are more honest about their motives: Movie or no movie, you can’t beat a good rampage against the Great Satan.
The author can't ignore the fact that the rioters were provoked to violence by a crappy low-budget movie no one’s seen, as if the Muslim Brotherhood were a more militant version of the New York Film Critics Circle. Liberals used to mock conservatives for worrying that violent and sexually explicit movies could have an impact on audiences.
The most common argument against this film, accroding to the Islamic people - the film offers a Mohammed who is a homosexual and a pederast. While Mohammed did take the nine-year-old Aisha as his bride, a common, if repugnant, practice in Bedouin societies of the time, the charge of homosexuality is a new one on me. According to some experts, Mr Nakoula may be the first person to attempt a queer reading of the Qur’an.
The author admitts, that one of the most striking features of this problem is that film and specially its film director Mr Nakoula - has no obligation to “respect” the Prophet of a religion to which he doesn’t subscribe, but his movie is trash, and not because it is anti-Islamic but because it is foul lumpen horse manure. Stephen Daisley make it clear that Monty Python’s Life of Brian (Terry Jones, 1979) is easily as anti-Christian but it is a product of great writing, fine acting, and laser-sharp satire.
In the addition to that, the author emphasizes his opinion, as Americans should guard their First Amendment and citizens of the other democracies their more modest speech rights.
The article concludes that people should understand , that there is a fight. That a battle unacknowledged is a battle all the same. That appeasement and isolationism do not prevent wars but rather ensure those wars will be one-sided events.
In my opinion, this film is a pretty skillful trick to the audience. The main aim of this "work" of Nacoula is to raise a huge rebellion all over the world. Nowadays, a serious offense against religion may cause a serious aftermath. "Don't play with God" - true Muslims felt reallt offended with all faith in their hearts because of only one scheming person who has played with the most important issue in today's world, knowing well that the burning hearts of the followers of the Qur'an are very dangerous. That is what America is about. That’s what America has always been about.
