MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) on Tuesday, September 25 prohibiting the public screening of the anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims.”
A Supreme Court insider told Rappler that the SC granted the petition for a TRO filed by leaders of different Muslim communities on September 24. The petitioners had asked the Court to order Malacañang to stop the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board and the National Telecommunications Commission from allowing the public showing of the film.
The groups said the film is blasphemous and disrespectful of Muslim prophet Mohammad.
“They portrayed Prophet Mohammad as a philanderer, womanizer,” according to Agakhan Sharief, president of the Ridjaludeen (Men of Islam), one of the petitioners.
The petitioners earlier told reporters that they wanted Malacañang to block the film on Youtube – like what Singapore did – but they did not include this in their petition. – Rappler.com
