Actually I read in a newspaper here that interviewed a number of the protesters and they said that they had watched it.
A couple things to consider:
-the producers claim that they are not sure who dub'd an Arabic version of the trailers on YouTube. Hmmm.
-in the immediate aftermath the film was said to have been financed by expat Egyptian Copts in the states. Obviously that is not the case now, but there is a recent history in Egypt of animosity between the Muslims and the Copts. It makes me think that this film was made with the explicit purpose of pissing people off and inciting violence.
