You all are faster than Google. I'm now very curious to see actual content of the film with my own eyes and not through what the media reports. But I can't find the film. Anyone know the name?
Have you seen it yet? Would allow your children to see it? Will you discuss it with them in a non-biased way?
All the news reports are the same: ABC, CNN, BBC, etc report that a judge has ordered the video NOT removed from Youtube.
Found it: "Innocence of Muslims"
I thought they got rid of the video.....
ETA apparently its still out there, i would rather watch two girls and a cup than this sh*t
IMO, you should read this: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2012/09/a-letter-from-scare...
ETA: No, I do not intend to view it or show it to any of our children or discuss it beyond what has already been discussed in the news. I see no reason to fuel the hate or give any sort of support or seeming show of support to the film.
Why give credence to it?
I have no desire, thank you.
I have not looked for it, and no, I see no need to give it my time or show it to my kids. If they saw it somewhere or heard about it, I'd discuss it with them openly and see it if it meant improving our conversation about it. But I did not know about it before this tragic incident, and I do not condone, support or acknowledge it beyond that. Neither did most Americans which is why it was pathetic for the parties involved to bring it to light. I say leave it buried.
I absolutely do not see a need to watch it or to make my children see it. I see nothing wrong with the Muslim faith as a whole. It is the actions of a handful of extremest that are violent and causing problems. I do not see a reason to trash an entire religion over the actions of a few.
What if it were a hateful anti-Christian film? Would you be going out of your way to be seeing it and making your children see it? Somehow I doubt it.
The film is lies. The film maker lied to the actors and actresses in it. Please go read the blog post by Neil Gaiman that ✿AV✿ posted a couple answers down from mine. It is written by one of the actresses that was lied to about what the film was going to be about. Her letter is not propaganda. It is what really happened.
While my kids have not seen the video they have heard about it and we talked about it. They understand that it is the hateful actions and lies of one man, or a very small group, and is in no way acceptable or right.
No desire to see it whatsoever. My son is five--no, he won't be seeing it. No discussion necessary.
Shane B. had the right idea. Why give this any more hits than it already has? I have no interest in watching the faith of so many being degraded and parodied.
AV: I checked out the link you provided. How this man (Sam Bassil) has manipulated so much to the detriment of so many is just atrocious. Anna Gurji's story is just heartbreaking.
i hear this documentary is real good:
