I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down for a link to the video. Thanks.

That movie is terrible. I think it should be censored based on quality and acting alone.

I was expecting some sophisticated propaganda piece. And not some crappy community theater actors doing some play for a public service television show. "Somebody" is really easy to troll.

Honestly, the first time I got linked to that video I thought it was a joke. I would swear those production values could only be that bad if done on purpose for comedic effect. Especially the random dubbing in of "Islam" or "Muslim."

Re: Production values.

Something that looks like amateur-hour to us in the West (and the video is amateur) might not look that way to someone in Egypt/Libya/Etc.

Have you seen any Middle Eastern TV? It isn't exactly high on the production value.

This might have some effect on how this film is being perceived as well.

And yes I'm being serious.

Yes, it's Spengler, but I think he makes a good point here about why this happens with Islam and not other religions (note that he wrote it 2 years ago): http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/LI14Ak01.html

Wow Youtube comments really bring humanity down a notch. I wish Google would just end the comment system for a while and see what happens. Between Youtube comments and Android market app reviews, Google could own the two biggest pools of idiocy on the internet.

Its good they left the video on line but the lunacy in the comments makes me wish they would just pull it.
