Jami, a former Muslim of Iranian origin, told the Netwrek TV show he has decided not to release his cartoon film, The Life of Muhammad, as expected on April 20.
The film would have reportedly shows a sexually aroused prophet. A clip from the film aired on a Dutch television channel last week showed a man said to be the prophet in the company of a 9-year-old wife on their way to a mosque to allegedly deflower his bride.
Jami said Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin has talked to him about repercussions of the film release on social harmony and coexistence in the Netherlands as well as it national interests.

The leaders of the Muslim minority, estimated at nearly one million, welcomed the new development. “I’m pleased that Mr Jami has decided to listen to the minister’s advise. It is a wise decision,” said Tunja.
He was particularly thankful for the government for its swift intervention in the issue. “We were planning a meeting with the justice minister to make it clear that Mr Jami’s film was totally unacceptable and would trigger violence across the world,” the Muslim activists told IOL.
Oh, I forgot! Freedom of Speech is a cancer. Islam is an answer.
