Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt protests

127. It shouldn't, but it is well-known that it will.

No one wants to take away his right to produce hate films, and certainly these hate films do not justify violent response. Those who commit violence because of such a thing are wrong. Nevertheless, you are surely not as naive as you put on. The maker of this film knew what was likely to happen after the experiences with Jones, the Koran "flushings," and the Danish cartoon contest. That doesn't make it right, but people are now aware that they can inspire violence in a certain section of the Islamic world by committing sacrilege on video. There's no other explanation for the animal scenes - it's the effect he hoped to create. He succeeded, getting confirmation for his "Muslims are animals" message in the West. Furthermore, inspiring such reactions serves to justify the constant Western state violence on Muslim countries (even though it doesn't, actually). In context, Israel is currently pushing the US to start a war of aggression - possibly a world war - against Iran. Just as we know a certain number of Muslims will riot and murder other people on the rumor of blasphemy, so too will many in the American public not bother to recognize the difference between Muslims, Arabs, Persians, Sunni or Shia when the bombs fall on Tehran. This asshole is hoping to create an atmosphere that justifies more violence by the West.
