And I'm pretty sure that whoever rioted or shot a rocket or whatever happened did not see this film either.
People have rioted over their own imaginations. The film may be horrible. It may or may not be distributed much or at all in the US. This is about people in Egypt and Libya getting carried away by their imaginations and their hatred for others. It's very sad that we have not come further than this.
I'd have to know more about the film and the intention of the person who made it to have any idea whether it is really objectionable enough to incite a riot. Just because people say they rioted over it doesn't mean that they have any idea as to what the film is really like. And anyway -- why riot over a film? This is just a riot motivated by the hate of the rioters.
