Muslim Congress stages first public reaction to US-made film

The Muslim Congress has staged its first public reaction to the US-made movie, which insults Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), as the organization’s demonstrators rallied against instances of affront to divine religions in Los Angeles.

The protesters, mostly women, gathered outside the Federal Building in the city’s Hollywood section on Saturday to denounce hatred and religious insult.

Holding up placards, the non-profit body’s protesters denounced hate-mongering and urged promotion of love and peace. The organization seeks to promote unity among North America’s Muslims.

Waves of anti-US protests rage on across the global community over the film, made by an Israeli-American, who has acknowledged to US media that he has produced and directed the blasphemous movie thanks to Jewish donations totaling USD five million.

Religious leaders in southern California have called for an end to the religious defamation caused by the film.

Federal authorities have identified Nakoula Basselly Nakoula as the key figure behind the film. Authorities say Nakoula used the false name, Sam Bacile when he posted the video on YouTube back in July.

The film has sparked rallies in dozens of countries across the world, including Australia, Belgium, France, Israel, Indonesia, and the Maldives.

Most recently, most schools, shops, and offices were shut down in Bangladesh amid a nationwide strike over the movie.
