More Mo Movies Are Coming to Rioting MoTowners

Maybe if there are enough riots, they’ll burn down their own countries sparing everyone else the trouble.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, a Palestinian who moved to Los Angeles several years ago, said he sees a compelling narrative film in that story and has already cast a “prominent Hollywood actor” in the title role of his film “Muhammad,” which has a proposed budget of $30 million.

The film will tell the story of the prophet from age 12 to his death, and will have the look and feel of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” Yousef said. “My goal is to create this big mirror to show the Muslim world the true image of its leader,” Yousef said.

A second film in preproduction is the work of Ali Sina, an atheist raised Muslim in Iran. A prominent critic of Islam, he maintains websites that promote what he calls “the truth” about the religion.

To date he says he has raised $2 million from Southern California investors for the film, which does not yet have a title but will portray the prophet as a cult leader in the vein of David Koresh or Jim Jones. He hopes to raise a total of $10 million, he said, and begin filming next year.

Now a resident of Canada, Sina began contemplating a biopic about Muhammad a decade ago, but stepped up his effort in the last two years as technological advances made it feasible to circumvent government censors and wary exhibitors.

“We can bypass theaters completely and sell the movie online with a profit to a large number of people, especially Muslims,” Sina said. “They can download it and watch it even if they are living in Karachi or Mecca or Medina.”

Ali Sina’s project seems more feasible because the budget is smaller and Sina has a longstanding reputation of taking on Islam, but there’s room for both movies at the table. What is truly important is getting a variety of these movies out there to neuter the notion Islamists and their leftist fellow travelers are perpetuating about Mo being off limits on the silver screen.

Paradoxically I suspect that the Muslim reaction to the Innocence of Muslims has kicked off a Streisand effect generating more interest in Mo movies than there would have been otherwise. And people may be ready for a higher quality cinematic treatment of the famed pedo cult leader.

“This is crossing a line,” said Akbar Ahmed, a former Pakistani ambassador to the United Kingdom and now professor of Islamic studies at American University. “If there is an actor physically portraying Muhammad, there will be a violent reaction.”

And if it’s Ramadan and everyone is bored, there will also be a violent reaction.

Mohammed movie

[MuttTheHoople]

I have my story in production...it's about Mohammed and his pet dog Fang, who encounter a burning Koran. Mohammed saves the Koran by peeing on it. At a loss at what to do with the Koran, he fashions it into a dog dish so Fang can eat out of it.

Think I can get some funding from Spielberg for this?

0bastard, Hillbilly and Ricecakes say the problem is movies.
Movies cause terrorist attacks.

Terrorists say "0bama we are all Osama!"

This film hits the theaters Dec. 19th.

Click on pic to see the trailer @ Youtube.

A film by Kathryn Bigelow w/assistance from the 0bama administration.

Kathryn Ann Bigelow

“If there is an actor physically portraying Muhammad, there will be a violent reaction.”

I physically expel Muhammad every morning.

Does that count?

[MestaMachine]

Personally, I often wonder why all these living cartoon characters get away with naming themselves or their kids mohammed. Aren’t they, in the most real sense, caricatures of mad mo? They should ALL be beheaded for insulting and imitating their pedophile prophet.

>"“This is crossing a line,” said Akbar Ahmed,"

What ya gonna do Akky? Declare War on US?

Too late. Your illiterate pedophile lying murdering poorfit (Pigs be inseminating him) already did 1400 years ago!

[visualops]

I’ve read a piece saying that this Nakoula guy isn’t what he puts himself out as, and that actually he’s a muslim and the film was a plant.

[American Constitutionalist]

So ? let us get this straight, they claim these movies that " Offend " Muslims and Islam was the culprit that caused the attacks on US Embassies in Egypt and Libya a few weeks ago ? right ? but yet ? they still give the green light for more of these movies ?
It's as if they want this effect, to stir up the Muslims to riot.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Interesting. The Mohammad naming-convention has always annoyed me but I never stopped and figured out why.

I think you’ve got part of it. It seems strangely dis-congruent with the relative “strictness” of their beliefs.

That, and the fact that it represents such a brazen rejection of individuality....which is simply unpardonably stupid.

[MestaMachine]

That is true according to Walid Shoebat.

In 1976 there was a biopic movie made that could be interpreted as generally respectful of Islam and Mo and they announce at the beginning of the movie that they will not be portraying Mo. Didn’t matter and a group of black Islamic thugs took hostages in Washington DC who apparently were offended by the movie. They had other demands as well. Read about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Hanafi_Siege

If there is an actor physically portraying Muhammad, there will be a violent reaction.
They could do this one of two ways. Either they could do the movie in the first person, with the characters addressing the camera, or with Mahomet portrayed as a CGI character.

Interesting that Nakoula the film maker is also a FedMob stooge.

Producer Of Anti-Islam Film Was Fed Snitch
L.A. man began cooperating after 2009 fraud bust

Interesting that Nakoula's websites track back to connections with 0bama.

Proof Positive - In My Opinion (who created Innocence of Muslims)(Obama)

Interesting that Nakoula's partner in the film was a palestinian Muslim with terrorist connections who was also watched by the Feds for three decades but never arrested and frequently bailed out by the Feds.

Why is the Coptic Christian filmmaker partners in crime with Coptic Christian hater?

Innocence of Muslims made by Terrorists

• Nikoula is a FedMob snitch.
• Nikoula's partner in the film was Eiad Salameh, a Palestinian Muslim.
• AFAIK Nikoula was never a film maker before. He was a check kiter.
• The film was not originally about Mohammed.
• Clips from the film were first aired on Egyptian TV just 3-4 days before Sept. 11th by a hardline 'tele-Islamist.'
• 0bama, Hillary and Rice have repeatedly made a point of saying that the U.S. gov had "nothing to do with the film." Something no one in the world would have ever thought.
• 0bama and Hillary have engaged in a major campaign of disinformation to blame the film and apologize for it.

Nikoula and Eiad may have made the film.
Someone else has been handling distribution and promotions.

dang

[TigersEye]

Did you realize that Hillary was apologizing for the video via the Cairo embassy Twitter account before the attack in Benghazi Libya occurred?
