Controversial Anti-Islam Movie and Controversial Reaction

I was just going through the news on the new controversial movie (Innocence of Muslims). Given that it is a low budget film, directed by a pornographic film director, and the producer/financier is a fraudster, I would say anyone can clearly see the purpose of the film.
It has more to do with making huge profit with small investment, more than religious hatred or freedom of speech. I would say the people behind the video clip have achieved their targets already.
I am glad that Libya has appologized for what happened, and takes actions to protect law and order.

I saw a quite interesting statement in Al-Jazeera, which I find strikingly true.

The unrestrained anger against a YouTube clip has even led to outrage among some Syrian activists, with one tweeting that "the only thing that seems to mobilise the Arab street is a movie, a cartoon or an insult, but not the pool of blood in Syria".
