I'm sure most of the people in the region never watched the trailer and are just hearing about it from imams whipping up anger. It's not that hard to do, either, in a region where roughly 25% of the population or more is under 20, most don't have jobs, some barely have enough to eat, and propaganda for decades has blamed America for everything.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I gave up before I got five minutes in - it's not even funny bad, it's just sad bad.

It does remind one of that Pakistani imam who ripped pages out of the Qur'an...

I never said we should end diplomatic relations, just our economic, military and commercial presence

Well that has worked for a long time in the West, so not a surprise it works in the Middle East also

It seemed very disjointed and bizarre to me... I only watched maybe 3 or 4 minutes. *NM*
