    The Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church issued a statement after its meeting on Wednesday September 12, 2012, condemning the funding and production of the film that insulted Islam and it's prophet saying its release at this specific time is part of a malicious campaign targeting defamation of religions aiming to divide the people, most notably the Egyptian people.

    The Holy Synod said that before this film, several western films have insulted Jesus Christ and Christianity in general. It is with deep sorrow felt before by such grievances that the Coptic Church is appalled at such abuse of Islam and Muslims inside and outside of Egypt. It is with great shared pain that the Holy Synod issued the following words:


    First, the defamation of religion, its symbols and teachings is incompatible with Christian values, the teaching of Jesus Christ and the apostles as is demonstrated in the Bible, so those who participate in such a production, display or promotion of such a films should be held fully accountable for operating outside of Christian principles and church laws.

    Second, the defamation of any religion and its symbols is a crime against all humans and should be prevented and addressed by everyone alike.

    Third, those present during the meeting know that Coptic Christians living abroad and belonging to the church have expressed a deep dissatisfaction with this abusive film.

    Fourth, those present during the meeting firmly believe what is mentioned in this statement is a sincere expression of the feelings of all Copts in Egypt and abroad and we strongly reject such offenses. Islam, and Muslims in general, are partners in our nation and humanity.

    Fifth, it is the unity of the Egyptian people – Muslims and Christians – that will enable us to overcome this ordeal with a common expression at all levels to reject this unfortunate event.

    Sixth, this statement is an official media release, communicated to President Mursi and the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb.

    Jazk'Allah khayran.

    And even the actors are speaking out, saying when they agreed to do the movie they had no idea it was about Islam, and that the character of Muhammad was originally called Master George.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/201...slims_n_1879819.html?1347527673&utm_hp_ref=uk

    Its amazing. Not even the cast supports this pathetic movie, yet people here are praising a fraud who might not even exist for insulting the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

    It's beyond pathetic really.

    And before somebody tries to deflect and say it, yes, killing people because of the movie was very unacceptable and was carried out by disgusting individuals. I don't support what happened to the 4 diplomats and I too hope those who have done it will be brought to justice.

    Insha'Allah.

    Good for Christians (and Jews and Buddhists and others) who condemn what they believe is wrong. Not good for Islamofascists who murder innocent civilians, destroy, pillage, riot when they find something they dislike.

    Muslims living in the west making excuses for the most evil psycopathic butchery.
    What would you say if muslims living (univited, remember) in the west got the same treatment from christians that your bloodthirsty murdering bigotted cousins in "your muslim lands" (lands you won't go back to) and you were living in state of siege in your own homes ?
    Perhaps you wouldn't be so quick to defend rabid extremists (which you do)
    All this over a film or a bloody cartoon ?????????????????????

    They're busy making Sweden "Their own state"

    Who's defending what happened in Libya? Not even the Libyans defend it.

    There are more people defending the movie on this forum than defending the death of the 4 American diplomats.

    The movie caused the protest, but hatred caused the killing. Planned or otherwise.

    Trailer, film. You know what I mean.

    Just look in the threads on this forum about the film and the protests. How the movie is right, Sam Bacile (if that's his real name) is a hero and is brave, how the Muslims are savages, blah blah blah.

    Bullsh*t, people are defending the right to make such movie, controversial as it may be and not be threatened, intimidated, murdered, harrassed by crazy Islamic mobs all over the world.

    So what? Germans have often been the bad guys in movies? It does not justify the violence here - nothing does.

    Defending a movie and defending the right to make it are two entirely different things. Just like condemning a movie you don't like and murdering innocent people for a movie you don't like.

    Either the actors don't know anything about Christianity or Islam, were on drugs, immersed in personal problems or they are liars.

    The video not only insults Muhammed, it insults the Christians who inspired Muhammed to bring the Gospel to Arabia.

    Maybe they are just copying the Israelis and their puppets in Britain and USA who have impoverished, maimed and killed millions "when they find something they dislike."

    BTW, the release of that video by the sinogog of God's adversaries, reminds me of this passage from Titus 1.
    "there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
    Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake."

    And how coincidental that it is being released at a critical time during the USA elections. Obviously there is much duplicity in this very convenient use of time by the warmongers who stand to profit from it and from war.

    You could make a movie insulting most any religion in the world except for Islam, and nobody would die.

    It was released in July by a likely Coptic Christian from Egypt, here in the US. I doubt the election was even a factor.

    Remember all the deaths and mass rioting Christians did over Dogma, Red State, and Religulous?

    Neither do I.

    Must be a Muslim thing then.

    The real question is, when are you Mohhamedans going to codemn all your terrorism, raping of women and children, and murder of innocent people accross the globe?

    The hell with some stupid movie that nobody has ever seen. How about Islam's global terrorism? Where are these fantasy "good Muslims" and their outrage?
