Innocence of Muslims or Ignorance of Millions?

Blasted across news outlets everywhere is the violent protests taking place over a 13 minute YouTube movie trailer. Because the prophet Muhammad is depicted in physical form, the film is considered blasphemous to the Muslim religion. However, there are aspects about the film's producer that many people may be unaware of.

No. 1 The alleged film maker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was in fact convicted of fraud and is a felon. He is also known to use fake identities to cover up his actions.

No. 2 Nakoula was a CIA informant, and his attorneys had hoped this would give them bargaining power in the case against Nakoula.

No. 3 The producer completely misled actors involved with the film. Actors and actresses who played various characters in the film feel betrayed, and had no idea the movie was in any way directed against Muslims.Later they dubbed over much of the film creating an entirely different storyline.

Although all three of these points are completely factual, the mainstream media is trying its best to avoid them. Not only are these statements factual they are essential to piecing together why the film has had as big an impact as it has. Think about it. Why would a 'former' CIA informant mislead actors to create a low budget anti-Islam movie? Why would the film have such an impact on the Muslim world when it went largely unnoticed in the United States (the trailer has been available online since July)? And why would the mainstream media hype protests worldwide when even Secretary of State Hilliary Clinton admits these protests are small groups of people (did somebody say al-Qadea?) Questions remain, but there are undoubtedly some strange connections between the filmmaker and  those who really run our government.
