The Supreme Court yesterday stopped the
public screening of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims”
following petitions from various Muslim groups
The film mocks the Prophet Muhammad as a
fraud, womanizer and child abuser.
Members of the Bangsamoro Nation invoked
their constitutional right to the free exercise of religion in filing their
petition.
“Muslims cannot allow this kind of insult to
their prophet Mohammad and to the Islamic religion in general,” petitioners
Agakhan ‘Benladin’ Sharief, Datu Drieza Lininding, Datu Haj Ansaru Alonto, and
Datu Nasser Dimapinto said.
“Unless the state prohibits the showing of
the subject film inimical to the national security, actual or imminent danger
of violence shall be expected.”
The group also took offense at the film’s
branding Mohammad as “a donkey, the first
Muslim animal.”
Bangsamoro Nation had also for the pullout or
removal and a prohibition of the showing
of the film or its trailers in Internet websites like YouTube, and Google.###”
