Immorally depicting the Prophet of Islam, Mohammad (peace be upon him and his chaste progeny), ‘Innocence of Muslims' saw light and was aired through different online channels, by that brining millions of people to the ‘courts of popular justice', the streets of towns and cities worldwide.
The anti-Islam film provoked the feelings of Muslims around the globe, leading to tens of protests that called for the halt of the broadcast and condemned the profane act.

It has been the US-"Israeli" "decades-old" key plan, to sow strife among Muslims and Christians, and lead to disunity and discord among them. Hence, the people of the region would be busy shedding each other's blood and establishing civil wars at the time the US and "Israel" continue their usurpation of lands and riches in the world, in the Middle east region to be more specific.

Profound respect for the beliefs, texts, outstanding figures and symbols of the various religions is an essential precondition for the peaceful coexistence of peoples, this is the exact target of the Zionist film, destroy dialogue and ties of coexistence between the people: divide and conquer.

Unlike what the US had probably expected, Muslims and Christians of the region reflected high-levels of awareness and wisdom, pouring all their rage on the US administration rather on each other.
Muslim and Christian religious figures alike, condemned the offense, stating that the major goal behind this anti-Islam film (and previous attacks) is sowing the seeds of strife.
Anti-Islam Film: More Unity Among Muslims and Christians Maronite Bishop of Beirut, Boulos Matar assured that "Claims about Christian Copts standing behind the production of the sacrilegious film are fabrications that aim at causing tension and sowing strife among Muslims and Christians."
"The producer of this film is Zionist from the United States who was supported by a ‘gang of Zionists' sponsoring the film," Matar assured, adding that "The airing of this film at such a sensitive time, which coincides with the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Lebanon and the latest events taking place in the Middle East region is obviously suspicious."
Matar, who reminded that the pontiff's visit to the region, particularly Lebanon is a renewal for Muslim-Christian dialogue, underscored "This malicious offense wants totally the opposite, disconnection and discord between Muslims and Chrisitans."
"We not only denounce this act but also want the West, including the US and Europe to put laws that prevent similar offenses. We also call for punishing the committers of this crime perpetrated under the pretext of "religious freedom and freedom of speech," he reiterated.

The Bishop, like many other Christian figures, slammed the film and repeated "it is totally rejected to offend or assault religions in such a manner."
"We urge the Arab world to demand the UN Council to issue decrees that prevent such act of profanity," he went on to say.
Disapproving violence as a response to the offense, Matar assured that the reply should be civilized and wise.

"The reply should be a decisive response that assures Muslim-Christian tights and common-living. Therefore, reaction should include popular civilized movements, a clear declaration of solidarity between Muslims and Christians, whether people, officials or religious figures. Also, the governments should seriously demand the creation of an international law that bans offending Monotheistic religions and figures," Mattar recapitulated.

According to Mattar, media and awareness campaigns under the correct guidance should play a key role in fighting this attack.

Similarly, Tripoli and North Lebanon Mufti Sheikh Malek SAnti-Islam Film: More Unity Among Muslims and Christians haar told moqawama.org that "This movie reflects a spiteful Zionist grudge against Islam and holds within its folds attempts to seeding strife between Muslims and Christians."
Unable to find the words to comment on the blasphemous movie, Shaar stated "We denounce the silence of some Arab leaders that have not said a word to censure the anti-Islam film."
The Mufti emphasized that Muslims and Christians should unite together to defend this wicked attempt, and avert any future attempt of offending religions.
"I call on all the Muslim brethren in the Arab world to be mindful and conscience to the main goal behind such an attack," he stressed.
On the role of leaderships, Sheikh Shaar indicated that leaders of the Muslim and Arab world should strictly demand an international law that would prevent and criminalize to all those who offend any of the Monotheistic religion, book or figure."
