LOS ANGELES An actress who appeared in the anti-Muslim film blamed for sparking violence in the Middle East has lost another legal bid to have the trailer taken down from YouTube.

A federal judge in Los Angeles denied a motion for injunction on Friday by Cindy Lee Garcia.

It wasn't immediately known whether Garcia's attorneys would file an appeal.

Garcia lost a similar legal challenge in state court when a judge rejected her lawsuit in September.

"Innocence of Muslims," which depicts the Prophet Mohammad as a religious fraud and womanizer, enraged Muslims and ignited violence in the Middle East, killing dozens.

Garcia said she was duped by the man behind the film, Mark Bassely Youssef and the script she saw referenced neither Muslims nor Mohammad. She also said her voice had been dubbed over after filming.

Loved the film. Muslims got all worked up because it is true, if the myth of him also is true. The article left out he was also a a pedophile. He was only a few centuries after the christ, is there any actual way to prove either lived in the first place. People needed something to believe in, people in history such as slaves, and the downtrodden. They had no hope on earth, so had to believe there was something better over the rainbow.

The film was not the cause of those riots and murders, it was made in July, the riots were on 9/11. Blamming it on the film is just another excuse for the US to bow down to these barbarians.

As for this woman not knowing what the film was about, she would have had to been stoned throughout the making of it. So far as I know, no one else in the film has come up with anything as ridiculous.
