Yes, when I have your letters I'll send them to the head office. They still don't have your letters. And the court documents will go to them, guaranteed, 100 percent."<br/> <br />The 13-minute English-language video, which was filmed in California and circulated on the Internet under several titles, including "Innocence of Muslims", portrays the Prophet Mohammad engaged in crude and offensive behavior.<br/> <br />The YouTube site has been blocked by several countries with majority Muslim populations.
