Islam versus Europe

The Minister of the Interior has increased the terrorist alert level to 3, which indicates the existence of a serious threat. The reason is the release of a new anti-islam film, the Het Laatste Nieuws and De Morgen report on Friday.
"The Innocent Prophet" is due to be released in a week. In this film, Imran Firasat, a Pakistani resident in Spain, draws an unflattering portrait of the prophet Mohammed.

The Organe de Coordination pour l'Analyse de la Menace (OCAM) [Threat Analysis Coordination Body] decided to take no risk and has raised the terrorist alert level from 2 to 3, on a scale of 4.

The Ministry of the Interior's crisis centre has demanded increased vigilance across all police zones in the country.

Imran Firasat says he was inspired by the film "Innocence of Muslims". The release of this low-quality production provoked sometimes violent protests in different Muslim countries. Some trouble also occurred in Borgerhout, in Antwerp.
