“DUBAI (REUTERS) – Iran’s government will ‘track down’ those responsible for making an amateurish film clip mocking the Prophet Muhammad, a senior official said, Iranian media reported on Monday.

The video made in California and posted on YouTube portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a womaniser and a fool. It has ignited a week of violent protests across the Muslim world.

‘The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns…this inappropriate and offensive action,’ First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi said, according to the Mehr news agency.
