Anti-Islam film implications continue, Lebanon bans its broadcast

Repercussions on the film "Innocence of Muslims", which was produced in the United States, are still continuous in various Arab and Islamic countries.                                    

In Lebanon, upon the lawsuit raised by Lawyer May Khansa' demanding stopping broadcasting the film on internet websites in Lebanon, Beirut Judge, Nadim Zouein, issued a decision on Monday banning the broadcast of the highly controversial and Anti-Islam film "Innocence of Muslims" on "YouTube" and all other social networks in Lebanon.                   

The judge asked to inform the Ministry of Telecommunication and internet distribution companies the necessity of taking all important measures to stop broadcasting the film.                   

In this framework, the European Union has denounced the call of the Pakistani Minister of killing the director of the film in exchange of a financial reward.                          

On the backdrop of the recent attack on the U.S. embassy in Tunis, Tunisian police have arrested a senior leader in a Salafi Jihadi organization accused of involvement in the attack.                                     

In Sri Lanka, about 5,000 protesters marched through the nation's capital demanding the U.S. ban the film and punish its creators.

The demonstrators blocked traffic as they marched on a main road in Colombo, carrying signs and banners that read "Punishment for those involved" and "Our hearts are wounded and chests full of anger."                                     

A small protest also took place in northern Nigeria, where hundreds of Muslims marched peacefully through the streets of the city of Kaduna. Demonstrators scrawled graffiti on walls reading: "Death to the Americans, Death to the Israelites."
