Heat over anti-Islam movie

On September 8, 2012 the trailer for a low-grade film aimed at discrediting Islam was aired by an Egyptian television network. The trailer, which depicts the Prophet Mohamed as something of a pervert, evoked a rage that soon boiled over in the form of anti-American protests staged at US embassies and consulates in Egypt and Libya. The film was banned in a number of countries, Russia and Kazakhstan among them.
