The Street in Kuching- Protest Anti-Islam Film.

  Hundreds in Kuching City protest anti-Islam film.

Hundreds of Muslims shed their political differences and thronged the streets of Kuching City to condemn the controversial “Innocence of Muslims” video, a short film mocking the Prophet Muhammad that has fuelled international fury and wreaked a storm of violent protests across the Muslim world.

The crudely made 13-minute English-language film that mocks the Prophet Muhammad was produced by American Sam Bacile, filmed in California and circulated on the Internet under several titles including “Innocence of Muslims”.

Clips of the film posted on the Internet since July have been attributed to Bacile, which two people linked to the film have said was likely an alias.

For many Muslims, any depiction of the prophet is blasphemous. Caricatures deemed insulting in the past have provoked protests and drawn condemnations from officials, preachers, ordinary Muslims and many Christians.
