Muslims offended by anti-Islam film threaten, call to ‘ruin’ filmmaker

As Twitchy reported earlier, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania is calling for the imprisonment of Sam Bacile, an Israeli filmmaker whose “Innocence of Muslims” is being blamed by many for yesterday’s bloody attacks in Egypt and Libya. Bacile’s crime? Making a lousy movie that depicts Mohammed as a fraud, among other things. Muslims believe any depiction of Mohammed is a serious offense.

Bacile, fearing for his life, has gone into hiding. But for many Muslims, that is not enough. They launched the #RuinSamBacile hashtag this morning to express their outrage and make further threats on Bacile.

As we saw last night, there were Muslims who took offense to the anti-American protests and rightfully condemned the attacks. And today, a handful of those angered by Bacile’s film asked for a relatively level-headed approach to the anger:

#RuinSamBacile He will get what's coming to him, everyone lets do this peacefully.

#RuinSamBacile guys just leave him, don't worry god will sort him out. God sees everything.

Unfortunately, their calls went largely unheeded. A storm of condemnation and threats poured forth:

#RuinSamBacile What an absolute disgrace. Makes me physically sick to think that someone could slander the greatest man who ever lived.

Muslims are "intolerant" for defending someone that means more to us than our parents. How would you react? #RuinSamBacile

#RuinSamBacile what this man did is disgusting and unacceptable. How could he do such a thing about Muhammad SAW! May Allah curse him

#RuinSamBacile May Allah punish him in this world and in the hereafter. Ameen. How dare he speak rubbish about the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

Those impatient for Bacile’s eternal punishment offered to help take care of killing him themselves:

#RuinSamBacile – He needs to be killed. Hang the son of a bitch or burn him alive. Cut his balls off an staple them to his forhead.

Anti-semitic filth naturally sprang up:

#RuinSamBacile . Stupid prick- this is why I'm influenced to dislike Jews

— Mullan. (@UmarMullan) September 12, 2012

#RuinSamBacile … What do you expect? He's a jew. I think Jews have took it a step too far

— Mullan. (@UmarMullan) September 12, 2012

#RuinSamBacile Retweet this and get it trending to ruin this Jewish scumbag!

— Profe$$or Purp (@OGPrometh) September 12, 2012

http://t.co/zVCMvHDO > This is seriously fucking pathetic man … Such a flop #RuinSamBacile dumb jew

— ハサン (@hahahaplisno) September 12, 2012

#RuinSamBacile jews are our true enemy, this is why over 100jews funded the film. Never be friends with one, even if he/she is just a child!

It’s worth noting that HijabiGodfather tweeted this shortly thereafter:

Civility for me, but not for thee. Funny how that works.

America prides itself on freedom of speech. Like it or not, in our eyes, men like Bacile should be allowed to express their points of view, no matter how objectionable we may find them.

It's not freedom of speech to insult someone else's religion just because you don't agree with their beliefs. #RuinSamBacile

Yes it is. And while the clown running the U.S. embassy in Cairo’s Twitter account may say otherwise, hurt feelings are not justification for riots — or murder.
