Does it really matter who made the film? Is it relevant? No. There are no laws in this country prohibiting the making of that film. The film was made, and crazies all over the world react exactly the way you'd expect crazies to react.

Yeah, that was pretty much the kind of reaction you'd expect. Which means that while there's nothing illegal about making a film like this, the people behind the message (which may not have been everyone involved in the film) are at the very least a bunch of assholes. Having freedom of speech still doesn't make you a good person if you engage in speech with the intention of seeing people get hurt.

The violent reactions to the film are totally unacceptable from any civilized people. But I see nothing wrong with thinking that the people behind the film are still a bunch of scumbags...it's not an either/or sort of deal.

If you watch the film, you see that the people acting out the various roles are the ones saying their lines for the lines that aren't all that crazy, but then when it gets to stuff that makes Mohammed look bad, its dubbed over. Its like this:

Actor's own voice: "Hey Mohammed, how's it going? You want to "

switch to dubber voice " go slaughter some infidels"?

That line isn't in there but you get the idea.......whoever was organizing the editing/direction took a bunch of shots and then dubbed over the previous script.
