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.

But you, dear Reader, are not in the least surprised.
[Jpost] European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... foreign ministers strongly stated that all of the body's agreements with Israel only applied to the pre-1967 lines, as they spoke out on Monday against Israeli settlement plans including the development of E1.
A diplomatic source told The Jerusalem Post that he feared some of the language in the council statement was placed there to lay the groundwork for labelling and possibly banning settlement products in the future.
The EU said all of its agreements with Israel "must unequivocally and explicitly indicate their inapplicability to the territories occupied by Israel in 1967, namely the Golan Heights; the West Bank, including east Jerusalem; and the Gazoo Strip."
The council called for full implementation of existing EU legislations and bilateral arrangements applicable to settlement products.

Goodness. One does hope he's getting paid top dollar for that insight.
A top Spanish intelligence officer said Al Qaeda terrorists in North Africa could be in possession of chemical weapons. Commissioner-General Enrique Baron, told a strategic security conference that it was believed that Al Qaeda of the Islamic Maghreb (AQMI) could have acquired such arms in Libya or elsewhere during the Arab Spring. He also warned that the group was inciting attacks against Spain.
Addressing the conference, Commissioner Baron said, "The Al Qaeda of the Islamic Maghreb has acquired and used very powerful conventional arms and probably also has non-conventional arms, basically chemical, as a result of the loss of control of arsenals."
The most likely place where this could have happened was in Libya during the uprising which overthrew the Gaddafi regime, he said.
He told the audience that AQMI, which is now occupying the northern part of Mali along with other Islamist groups and local Tuareg tribesmen, posed the greatest terrorist threat to Spain. It had frequently said that a main goal was to "recover Al Andalus".
