An official of the Pakistani government has offered a $100,000 reward for the murder of the American filmmaker who produced The Innocence of Muslims.

Amid protests that killed more than 20 people throughout Pakistan on Friday, the country’s Cabinet minister offered a $100,000 reward for the murder of the US filmmaker that ridiculed Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

­Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour told the Associated Press that he encourages the Taliban and al-Qaeda to perform this “sacred duty.” He himself would pay the reward out of his pocket, he said.
