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.
Remind me to write a review of The Yacoubian Building, it does a fairly good job at showing the various kinds of reactions one encounters to a situation as hopeless as that of many young (or not so young) people in the Middle East.
Has anyone here watched the trailer for Innocence of Muslims? It's so bad it's hilarious!

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...

We should close our embassies and consulates? Great plan. *NM*

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*

Cringe-worthy bad and not intentionally so, it seems
