Actress loses bid to pull anti-Islam film trailer from YouTube

An actress who appeared in the anti-Muslim film blamed for sparking violence in the Middle East has lost another legal bid to have the trailer taken down from YouTube.

A US federal judge in Los Angeles denied a motion for injunction by Cindy Lee Garcia.

It was not immediately known whether Ms Garcia’s lawyers would file an appeal.

Ms Garcia lost a similar legal challenge in state court when a judge rejected her lawsuit in September.

'Innocence of Muslims', which depicts the Prophet Mohammed in a negative light, enraged Muslims and ignited violence in the Middle East, killing dozens.

Ms Garcia said she was duped by the man behind the film, Mark Bassely Youssef and the script she saw referenced neither Muslims nor Mohammed.

She also said her voice had been dubbed over after filming.
