Group plans to screen 'Innocence of the Muslims' across Canada

VANCOUVER – A "grassroots Canadian organization'' is hoping to arrange a screening of the controversial film about the Prophet Mohammed in cities across the country.

Ron Banerjee of Canadian Hindu Advocacy said Canadians want to see Innocence of the Muslims.

"It's not a Hindu group,'' Banerjee said in a telephone interview from Toronto. "It's a regular Canadian grassroots organization.''

Banerjee said his advocacy group — which he claims has "several hundred members and supporters across Canada'' — has received several inquiries about screening the movie in Canadian cities.

"We have got e-mails and phone calls from organizations in 13 different cities in both Canada and the U.S. that are interested in doing a simultaneous screening. The trouble is we are all trying to find the original copy of the film. That's a little difficult given the peculiar circumstances of the producer of the film.''

The anti-Islam video, produced in the U.S., has triggered a wave of demonstrations and riots in the Middle East and beyond. It portrays the Prophet Mohammed as a child molester.

"We have the freedom to show a movie like that and we shouldn't succumb to threats of violence,” said Banjeree.
