There have been violent protests in Pakistan against the film.
A US State Department official told the BBC: “Both the President and Secretary of State believe the video is shocking, disgusting and reprehensible, but it does not justify violence.” Responsible leaders need to stand up and speak out against violence.

Apart from Pakistan, many people have been killed in clashes between police and protesters in countries like Tunisia and Sudan.
Ghulam Bilour has opposed Islamic extremism and has been supporting the intervention of NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Ghulam Billaur’s family runs a flour mill and movie theater in Peshawar. Apart from this, he has properties in Pakistan, London and Dubai. Even before becoming Minister for Railways, he has been Union Minister three times.
