In 2012 a film titled "Innocence of Muslims" and alternatively "The Real Life of Muhammad" and "Muhammad Movie Trailer" was released by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. A "Vanity Fair" article described the video as "Exceptionally amateurish, with disjointed dialogue, jumpy editing, and performances that would have looked melodramatic even in a silent movie, the clip is clearly designed to offend Muslims, portraying Mohammed as a bloodthirsty murderer and Lothario and pedophile with omnidirectional sexual appetites." Reacting to the release of the film, violent demonstrations and attacks targeted western institutions through the Muslim world.
