The official further condemned the insulting movie which has provoked protests by Muslims in several countries, and said that Islam attaches great importance to messengers of other divine religions too.
The film called "Innocence of Muslims", previously called Desert Warriors and Innocence of Bin Laden, is a 2012 anti-Muslim movie which insults Muslims' Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). The film has been financed by more than 100 Jews and produced by an American-Israeli man in the US.

The anti-Islam film has drawn condemnation from numerous countries including Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Libya, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Morocco, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.
