The Innocent Prophet - Official Trailer - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    "Published on Nov 10, 2012 (Slightly delayed) Dear friends Yesterday I found the news in media about high terror alert in Belgium over the movie "The Innocent Prophet" which I planned to release on 14th December 2012. Behind making this movie my soul objective was to reveal the other side of reality of Muhammad and Islam, which I think, is a noble cause for the humanity and is also my right of freedom of expression. But I never had intentions to incite violence or offend religious sentiments deliberately. I don't want people to have fear in their hearts or governments to apply high terror alert in their countries because of me. I don´t want to be remembered as a man who is responsible for loss of lives and properties. That is why I have decided to postpone temporarily the release of movie until I show it first to the authorities and get the assurance that there is nothing in this movie which doesn´t fall under the right of freedom of expression and that my movie will not cause any kind of loss to humanity. The necessary modification will be also made if requested by the authorities. But the delay doesn´t mean that I am afraid of Islamic violence, neither have I lost my right of freedom of expression. It´s all about the respect which I have in my heart towards Europe which is my family, and my deep love for Spain which is my home. I apologize to the Belgian people for the inconvenience they are facing because of my movie plan. I assure them that I will never do anything which hurt them. But on the other hand they should also understand that if we lose our right of freedom of expression, we lose our democracy and western values. I will always stand firmly with my opinion that Islam is an extreme danger to the society and we should make aware people about its whole reality, but of course not on the price of human lives. I will be back to you soon with the new release date after consulting with the authorities. Please keep in touch with me on: www.mundosinislam

  • "So now that's why you're trying to convert them, to use a word, you're trying to covert them back to what you see as the truth path of Islam?" Simon asks.
  • "Because you feel guilty for what you taught them in the past?" Simon asks.
  • "In the past, you taught them how to use weapons, and now you're teaching them the true path of Islam?" Simon asks.

  • "Yes, correct. Because I realize that what I did before is wrong," Abas says.
  • Abas tried to right that wrong when he took on his former teacher and the leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, Abu Bakar Bashir, who was on trial for having approved of the Bali bombings. When Abas began testifying, he was shouted down and a mob forced him from the courtroom.
  • Hunted by radical Muslims in Indonesia, Abas knows he's a marked man and in a very dangerous situation.
  • "This is my life," he tells Simon.
  •  
    But Abas' contribution is not limited to undercover work. He is at the heart of the government's de-radicalization program, which is all about persuasion, talking to university students, combating the dogma taught in religious schools, and most important, trying to turn terrorists in the prisons.

  • But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden. "It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.
  • Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.
