President Barack Hussein Obama recently said, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” If the president’s words are true, then the future holds no place for Terry Jones and Imran Firasat.
The Rev. Terry Jones is the pastor of Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, and the founder of Stand Up America Now. Imran Firasat is a Pakistani ex-Muslim and proprietor of www.mundosinislam.com who now lives in Spain. These two men have just teamed up to produce a movie The Innocent Prophet. If that isn’t a fatwa-worthy activity, then I don’t know what is.
The repercussions of their joint effort have already been felt: Belgium has raised its terror alert status because of the upcoming movie, and the Spanish government has just decided to review Mr. Firasat’s asylum status.
In the past Mr. Jones has caught the attention of American government officials for burning the Koran and similar activities. Back in September the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff took the trouble to phone him to ask him to withdraw his support for the movie Innocence of Muslims. Up to now, however, federal law enforcement officials have not arrested him — the First Amendment is still holding against sharia in the United States.
Will Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s “old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming” be applied to him? Or will the FBI maybe unearth a federal statute that he has violated which will provide an excuse to arrest him?
Friday is the big day — that’s when The Innocent Prophet will be officially released on the Internet. Below is the press release sent out by Terry Jones:
The Innocent Prophet Muhammad Movie Release
December 14th, 2012
Imran Firasat faces criminal charges and deportation from Spain. He is a Pakistani ex-Muslim who was welcomed into Spain for protection from Islamic violence. As a result of his speaking out against Islam and revealing the violent nature of the religion, his co-producing with Stand Up America Now of the film called The Innocent Prophet, and because he converted from Islam to Christianity, he faces certain death if Spain sends him back to Pakistan. This is again a result of Western Society bowing to the fear and intimidation of Islam and shows the very nature of Islam.
Spain is citing Penal Code 510 as a reason to prosecute Imran. This Code refers to inciting or provoking hatred or violence, which Imran has not done. Spain’s Ministry of Foreign affairs has threatened to revoke Imran’s asylum status, stating that his youtube, The Innocent Prophet, is “destabilizing” because of the “extreme indignation and sensitivity” of the world’s Muslims.
These unjust threats by the Spanish Government show the very importance of our standing up against a brutal totalitarian system of religion and government called Sharia. Under Sharia, apostates and those who are seen to insult Islam deserve death. Let us act now, before our Western society becomes a victim of the very violence of Islam that we are attempting to fight.
Stand Up America Now with Dr Terry Jones takes responsibility for releasing the film, The Innocent Prophet, on Friday, December 14th, 2012.
Below is a trailer for The Innocent Prophet that was released a few weeks ago:
Imran Firasat sent us the following message when he released the trailer for his movie:
Several months ago a movie “The Innocence of Muslims” was uploaded on internet from USA, which showed how Muhammad falsely created his religion, Islam, How he used to kill people in the name of his made-up God, and how he lusted for women and sex.
Muslims as usual couldn’t bear the truth and responded with violence, killing innocent people and vandalizing American and other western embassies and desecrated the flags of those countries.
Now my question is: Should we stop speaking truth about Islam because of the fear of unjustified and violent consequences from the blind Muslims? And should we lose our right of freedom of expression just because a group of people do not have capacity to bear the truth? No, we are not going to accept any of these choices. We shall never stop calling wrong to something what is indeed wrong. We shall never let anyone to snatch our fundamental right of liberty of expression.
On one hand Muslims say that Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion but on the other hand they do all what is against humanity. Which is the real face of Islam? What is actually Islam?
If we want to know the truth of Islam, first we must go deep into the life of Muhammad to find out whether he was a genuine prophet sent by God or was he simply a child molester, assassin and a self acclaimed prophet?
I am pretty sure, if we find out the truth of Muhammad, we’ll also find out what Islam truly is. It is time to clear all the doubts and to accept the reality. For that purpose I have brought a movie to you on Muhammad’s life which will help you to recognize the truth (expressed from the point of view of an ex Muslim).
Here I present you the English trailer of the movie “The Innocent Prophet” which is coming soon and being made in several languages like: English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu and Indonesian. I hope that after watching this movie the non Muslims will be compelled to think whether they should allow Islam to be existed in their modern societies or not. And Muslims will also give a serious thought to their future with Islam, without committing any violence, as the purpose behind making this movie is not to offend any human being but is only to express my point of view on the life of the innocent prophet of Islam which I think is completely true.

Who decided that someone feeling "offended" (whatever that means) mattered anyway?
As Bill Hicks once said, I must have missed that meeting!
Consider this: A patient is visiting their doctor and the doctor tells them that they must change their lifestyle, their whole worldview, because the way they are leading their life is harmful and destructive. The patient may well feel offended - for a moment.
But they need to be told the truth so that they can regain their health and live a regular, sane life once again.
Should that dr be prosecuted, hounded, shamed? Of course not - they're acting responsibly and doing what's best for the patient.
Same with the "feelings" and "sensitivity" of the members of the ummah. Irrelevant.
Is their religion true? No. Then they need to be told.
Is their prophet "a good example" for men to follow in the 21st Century? No. Then they need to be told.
Should people be marrying six year olds and consummating that marriage when their child bride is nine years of age? No. Then they need to be told.
Any morally sane, rational thinking person holds the truth far far higher than the "feelings" of people who are yelling, burning things and threatening to kill anyone who says something they don't like. Those are the actions of a spoilt child, grown up and with access to matches and knives.
The members of the ummah really need to grow up. They need to learn how to deal with the TRUTH and if they can't, then that is just TOO BAD.
And btw - the more they yell, the more you know you're saying exactly the right thing, the very thing which NEEDS to be said.
So could the Mayans have had a point with their prediction?
December 21 is just one week away from the release... (and it's a Friday!)
well, seems like the release has been postponed... the apocalypse can wait a little bit longer.
President Obama says the future does not belong to those who slander Islam. Is this the same as saying that those who slander Islam do not not have a future?
If this is the case than what constitutes slander? My minister does not mince his words about his fears for Christians with the rapid progress of Islamification.
Does that mean that if our government knew they would silence him and if they published his name then his life would be at risk, all with barmy Barrack's blessing?
And those people who post comments saying that all muslims should be removed from Britain. Will the USA now instruct our government to ensure that they are imprisoned and if their names are published and they are taken out all well and good?
An ideology, like communism, which is immune from criticism is an ideology which is going to win and crush all its opponents.
As an American and a Christian, I was appalled by Obama's statement about "slandering" the "prophet of Islam". The man has no respect for the First Amendment when it grates against a political client.
The opinion of Hussain Obama is about as valuable as barking of a stray dog. He is a bastard born in Kenya illegally residing in the White House . He isn't an American President . His conduct and his policies transform the USA into some third world dump from which he came and where he grew up.
