Innocence of Muslims' is a 2012 independent religious and political film. The low-quality film was produced and directed by Sam Bacile, a 56 year-old real estate developer who identifies himself as an Israeli Jew.

According to Bacile, he produced the film to call attention to what he called the "hypocrisies" of Islam and it was screened in full just once, to a mostly empty movie theater in Hollywood. The film has been promoted by Terry Jones. Media reporting of Jones' burning of Qurans previously led to deadly riots around the world.

Jones said on 11 September 2012 that he planned to show a 13-minute trailer that night at his church, the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida.

"It is an American production, not designed to attack Muslims but to show the destructive ideology of Islam," he said in a statement. "The movie further reveals in a satirical fashion the life of Muhammad"

In july 2012, a 14-minute excerpts from the English-language film was posted on YouTube. By September the movie has been dubbed into Arabic and was brought to the attention of the Arab-speaking world by a Coptic blogger.Muslim leaders criticized the film's depiction of Muhammad. The Daily Telegraph reported that it portrayed Muhammad as an advocate of pedophilia and a gay, showing him Being Intimate.


Reaction
The Arab version of the film led to a series of attacks on US embassies in the Arab World. The embassies in Cairo and Benghazi were both attached with the Benghazi attack resulting in the death of ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Bacile has gone into hiding fearing that current actions could be used as an excuse to harm him. He continues to defend the film. Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi urged the United States government on Tuesday to prosecute the 'madmen' behind the video."

The film allegedly triggered the September 11, 2012 storming of the United States Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, and a rocket attack on an embassy personnel car of the United States Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, resulting in at least four deaths of U.S. diplomatic personnel, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
