Lights, camera, and…probably more insult than action with the Friday release of a new anti-Islam film reportedly mocking Islam in the manner of the 14-minute “Innocence of Muslims” trailer that enraged Islamic communities worldwide in September,according to Australia’s News Network.

Called “The Innocent Prophet: Life of Muhammad from the Point of View of an Ex-Muslim,” the film has reportedly prompted Belgium to preemptively issue a terror alert,said The National Turk, while Australian troops are gearing up for heightened protest activity in Afghanistan, reported Australia’s News Network.
The new film’s trailer can be seen in several languages here.
“The Innocent Prophet” is a collaborative work by a former Muslim from Pakistan now living in Spain, Imran Firasat of Mundo sin Islam (World without Islam), and the virulently anti-Muslim US Christian pastor Terry Jones, according to Newser.
Jones, known for his Koran-burning activities,announced the film’s release while wearing an “Islam Is A Bully” t-shirt. He said the project is aimed at presenting “a picture of Mohammad that has possibly not been revealed in the past.”
It is not likely to be a positive portrayal, with Newser quoting Firasat as saying in the film’s trailer: “We must go deep into the life of Muhammad to find out whether he was a genuine prophet sent by God or was he simply a child molester, assassin and a self-proclaimed prophet.”
