The person who made the movie in question does seem like an idiot slime ball, and also a criminal and a liar and a bad filmmaker. Not that it would matter if the protests were about books by a brilliant intellectual like Salman Rushdie, either way violent protests against something found "insulting" are silly and counter-productive, of course.

Depends on the opinion really. I don't think many people would object to calling a women beating, gay hating, foreigner bashing, white supremacist a "slime ball".

"unless it's on 4chan" but to insinuate that the person who put this up is a "idiot slime-ball" for stating his opinion of a religion is silliness, if that is all it takes to be an idiot slime ball then r/atheism is a cesspool of stupid and disgusting humans beings.

I didn't say he was. I don't follow the news much, and haven't even seen the video. I was just pointing out that we tend to judge people based on their opinions and actions; so it seems to follow that his slimeball status in influenced by whatever he said or did.

I'd say slime ball, just because it was a shitty/ignorant "movie". Lots of other words you could use too, but if the shoe fits...

Ugh, seriously? Why would anyone post excerpts of "innocence of Muslims" translated into Arabic if they didn't want to cause a shitstorm? that is what makes them an idiot scumbag.
