Personally, I support the right of the filmmaker that made it. I don't have to agree with the topic or subject of the film, only the right the guy had in making it.

This is a tough one; I agree he has every right to make this film. But he must have know what the consequences were, we all know what the response is from those imbeciles.
I would not be surprised if we will see attacks in Pakistan and other countries in the coming days, this could get really ugly.
From the NY Times:
" Yigal Palmor, the spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said in a telephoned statement: “Nobody knows who he is. He is totally unknown in filmmaking circles in Israel. And anything he did — he is not doing it for Israel, or with Israel, or through Israel in any way.” Mr. Palmor also called the filmmaker “a complete loose cannon and an unspeakable idiot.”
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the man who said he was the filmmaker called Islam “a cancer,” and said he had raised $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors and had shot a two-hour movie in California last year. The Associated Press said he said it took three months and used 59 actors and 45 crew members.
The A.P. reported reaching a consultant on the film, Steve Klein, who said he had warned the filmmaker “you’re going to be the next Theo van Gogh,” referring to the Dutch filmmaker killed by an Islamic militant in 2004 after making a film about abuses in Islam."
