Outrage over a controversial film about Islam which depicts the Prophet Mohammad in a degrading manner is said to be the reason that two American embassies were attacked on Tuesday resulting in the deaths of at least four Americans.

The outrage is centered on the film “Innocence of Muslims” and is said to have led to the most recent series of violent acts against American installations in the volatile Middle East region.

The film was created by Israeli filmmaker Sam Bacile and promoted by Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who caused outrage throughout the Muslim world when he declared he would burn the Koran as a protest of Islam in 2010.

The film depicts the Prophet Mohammad as a womanizing goon whose followers are mindless thugs. It also shows the Prophet in compromising sexual positions and offers insults to Islam as punch lines.
