CAIRO (Reuters) – Two Islamist preachers in Egypt told worshippers on Friday that those who made a movie deemed insulting to the Prophet Mohammad deserved to die under sharia (Islamic law) but they urged protesters not to take their anger out on diplomats or others.
Many Muslims deem it blasphemous to depict the Prophet in any form, and have been enraged by a movie made in the United States that portrayed him as a womanizer and religious fake, and protesters have stormed U.S. diplomatic missions in several Muslim countries.
“Those who produced the movie should be tried and killed,” Mahmoud Shabaan, a sheikh from the ultra-orthodox Salafi school, told worshippers at Cairo’s al-Nour mosque, citing actions by the Prophet’s followers and Islamic teachings.
He also said the movie-makers should have a fair and urgent trial, adding that “nothing less than death was appropriate” for those who had insulted the Prophet.
