- description: A film trailer portraying the Muslim Prophet Mohammad as a grotesque caricature with "young girl" wives triggered anti-U.S. protests in Egypt and Libya on Tuesday. The source of sudden rage? Egyptian media outlets discovered and reported on the 14-minute trailer, originally uploaded to YouTube in July, after someone using the name "sam bacile" posted a version dubbed in Arabic, reported the New York Times. The film at the center of the violence, titled "Innocence of Muslims," was directed and produced by Israeli-American California real-estate developer Sam Bacile, who called Islam "a cancer," according to the Wall Street Journal. Angry demonstrators, captured on amateur video, stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and ripped apart an American flag. Gunmen, also motivated by the trailer, attacked U.S. consulate offices in the Libyan city Benghazi to protest the anti-Islam scenes they called "blasphemous," Reuters reported. "Islamic, Islamic. The right of our prophet will not die," chanted protesting crowds, according to an Associated Press report.
