The head of the Christian broadcasting charity Media for Christ, identified as the production company behind the movie, said on Tuesday that he, too, had been fooled by the producer. He said he had been told the film would be about "Christian persecution".

In a separate development, Google on Thursday blocked YouTube users in Singapore from viewing clips of the film, acting on a request by city authorities.

Attempts to access the low-budget film on the Google-owned video-sharing website resulted in a message reading: "This content is not available in your country due to a government removal request".

Google has also blocked access to clips of the film in Muslim-majority neighbors Malaysia and Indonesia.

"Where we have launched YouTube locally and we are notified that a video is illegal in that country, we will restrict access to it after a thorough review," a Google spokesperson said.
