U.S.-produced movie "Innocence of Muslims," considered by Muslims to be an insult to their prophet Mohammed, incited a wave of bloody violence against U.S. missions in the Islamic world. The 14-minute video portrays the Prophet Muhammad as a womanizer and child abuser. Deadly uproar in Benghazi of Libya took the lives of the U.S. ambassador to the country Chris Stevens, along with those of three other Americans on Sept. 11. One Pakistani cabinet minister was reported to have offered a US$100,000 bounty for the death of the California-based maker of the video. 55-year-old Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the producer behind the controversial anti-Muslim film, was sentenced to one year in U.S. federal prison on Nov. 17, for violating his probation-which stemmed from a 2010 bank fraud case. |
