THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Two filmmakers behind the controversial video "Innocence of Muslims", which denigrates the Prophet Mohammed, have been banned from setting foot in Britain over fears they could incite violence.
The Daily Telegraph can also reveal that a Pakistani cabinet minister who offered a reward for anyone killing the producers of the amateurish video has also been told by British officials that he is not welcome.
A trailer for the film posted on YouTube provoked angry demonstrations throughout the Muslim world.
The amateurish clip, produced on a tiny budget by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a 55-year-old Egyptian Coptic Christian resident in the United States, depicts the Prophet Mohammed as a fool and sexual deviant.
As a result of the controversy, Nakoula was arrested for violating probation terms for a pre-existing fraud offence which barred him from using the internet.
The worst of the protests were in Pakistan, where 20 people died in clashes between anti-film protesters and police during a day of protests last month. » | Rob Crilly, Islamabad | Friday, October 12, 2012
