Protests over US film The Innocence of Muslims depicting Prophet Mohammed, as a child molesting womaniser provided the cover for an assault on the US embassy in Libya.

The attack left four American diplomats dead, and now the cast and crew of the movie are speaking out. As far as they knew, they were making a completely different movie. But the casting call said actors would be in a ‘historical Arabian Desert adventure film’ titled Desert Warrior.

Fuelling the violence: Activists of an Islamic party burn the US flag during a protest against a film mocking Islam in Dhaka.
