Did a U.S. Theater Collapse Before Showing Controversial Film?
A graphic being circulated shows a collapsed building and claims a theater in the U.S. broke into two pieces just prior to showing the controversial anti-Muslim film. Is there any truth to this story?
The story and the photo are not real.
The photo has been circulated with the following text:
“…an earthquake hit the cinema of the abusing movie to Prophet Mohammed. The whole cinema is smashed.”
Various descriptions of the photo go into more detail, such as this one:
A picture of a cinema in America that was going to play the film of the Prophet Sep 18 at noon.An earthquake hit that area that caused the building into two pieces.The Americans are so shocked at the miracle that they didn’t allow full media coverage on the topic and that’s why you didn’t hear about it on the news today!
Let’s take a look at the photo and the story to see if there is any truth to this account.
The photo
The photograph being circulated was actually taken from a news story in 2010 about an earthquake in Chile. The actual photo’s caption reads:
Residents look at a collapsed building in Concepcion, Chile, Saturday Feb. 27, 2010 after an 8.8-magnitude struck central Chile. The epicenter was 70 miles (115 kilometers) from Concepcion, Chile’s second-largest city.
The Earthquake
According to the US Geological Service, the most recent *significant* earthquake in the United States came on September 7, which was a small 3.4 magnitude tremor in Beverly Hills, California. No damage was reported from this quake. You can peruse all earthquakes here, and you’ll see that nothing in the U.S. on September 18 resembles the quake as represented in this story.
It should also be noted that as of this writing, no public screenings of the film are known due to security risks.
Bottom Line
There is no evidence that this event ever occurred.
Note: This is a sensitive topic. Please try to be respectful of others’ opinions and beliefs, and please refrain from posting threatening comments.

Allah is a creature of this universe and our beloved prophet Muhammad s.a.w is His beloved messenger .no one have right to insult prophet Muhammad.its a sin.please understand people.Allah never forgive the people who do this. And support this act.all non muslims understand it. Only one time study the reality of islam.plz judge it islam is very soft.
ALLAH is “The Creator” not a creature….
please refrain from using such terms
allah in a creator not a creature.make it correct
Please be cautious about your wording before posting publicly. As other mentioned in other replies, here the word should be “Creator” (who he creates or created) not “Creature” (what has been created). So Allah is the creator and the whole universe is the creature. Please don’t mine, you need to correct the sentence, as it is confusing (and has become a “Kufri” sentence).
ALLAH O AKBAR… ALLAH O AKBAR…. ALLAH O AKBAR… BUT JEWS INFLUENCE AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN MEDIA IS FEELING INSULT FOR THEM SELF THAT, WE ARE EFFECTING FROM RIGHT TO BOTTOM FOR PROVING THIS MUSLIM PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SALLAL LA HO ALEHI WASLAM) IS VERY BELOVED PROPHET AND HE IS LAST PROPHET. AND ALLAH IS PROTECTING HIM AND HIS FOLLOWERS(SAHABA RAZI ALLAH O UNWHOMA)
Check your spelling sister as creater Is spelt like this creator by tryin to do good a. Little spelling mistake changes the meaning from creator to creature is a species may Allah forgive us as he knows what u meant by heart. Salaam
Allah sure sucks at preventing drone strikes.
I don’t care it happens or not. Muslim belief is firm. And Prophet (PBUH) is true, and Inshallah world see the result against filmmaker.
Today is the real earthquake !!! You can’t its not real now…….It’s just the beginning……
u ppl r just affraid of the truth wtever u do u cant nauzubillah insult OUR PROPHET. HE is the only truth of dis world ,doesnt matter u dont want the world to know abt dis its just the bigining, the pig whov done dis is gona pay for dis.
There are bigger issues to do like far salaah zakat fasting giving charity to the people in need I’m middle east when some one is in need of help it is a test from allah and our duty to help them with what u can. As to the people who Insultet a rasool s.a.w may ALLAH give them hidayath remember when the Yemen king came with elephants to destroy the kahbah rasool saw grandfather made sure the quraishi peoplewere safe and prayed to Allah knowing Allah protects his beloved thing which we can’t, hope people learn what Islam’s about the same religion adam as ibrahim as moses as isa as and finally the seal of the ambiyas prophet Muhammad saw the last and final prophet till the day of judgement , every time people plan to plot against Islam Allah had a bigger plot ready as a counter hit instead of people mis understanding Islam they find out the truth and embrace the religion becoming Muslim them selves knowing Islam and terrorism is like cheese n chalk terrorism Is haram and inshaa-Allah more n more people will come to know the media wants muslims to react like this so instead of cursing pray for these misled people to have hidayath by doing so u get swab exactly how our beloved p daw did even after he was bleeding coz kids were throwing stones a t him salaam ……….
Ps giv dawah that’s our duty and pray for peace in middle east
Assalamu alaikum, As we are a muslim we should be patio us and must not believe any of their issues at any cost should not loose our Eman. They day will come people understand what is called Islam ?
mustafa ali I agree to everything you just said we should stop rioting and let Allah do the punishing
Assalamu Alaikum brother Mustafa.U have raised some valid and logical points.I agree with you.You would be happy to know that there are many muslims who say like you and me too….no doubt we should engage ourselves in Dawah and Tablig more and should pray to Allah for the Hidayah of the Muslims and Imaan for the Kafirs.May Allah guide us all.
The story of the cinema is not the point of contention but the deplorable and abominable attitude and hate speech against Islam and its messenger is. I was astounded to read that after a trial was run by one of the characters of the film to put the video off you tube, as her life was threatened and she was cheated into the video, however the Californian higher courts ruled it out and dismissed the case. After such an act, how can obama as the President of US claim that his government as nothing to do with the video. Prophets and messengers dignitaries of all religions and civilizations are equally sacred, lets not forget this.the west has shown itself to uncivilized by seconding this act under the garb of freedom of speech. Was the topless pictures of the princess of UK an act of freedom of speech? What about anti antisemitism and Holocaust?
allahuakbar!!!! ALLAH IS THE GREATEST!!! and no one shall insult ALLAH(S.W.T) and his messenger. the most beloved prophet MUHAMMAD(S.A.W)!
ALLAHUAKBAR!
The film got more publicity not from the Kaafirs or makers of the film but by the muslims themselves who did brainless opposition
I totally agree and its sad really
As muslims we should make use of this opportunity to show the world who the Prophet is. Like the muslims in UK did. The certain muslim community who belonged to “Discovering Islam” they printed thousands of books on Prophet Muhammad’s real history and they distributed along with english translated Quran to all the people in Airports , SHopping complex and other densley crowded areas. ANd specifically informed to read those books and watch the anti-islamic movie and decide up which is the real one.
subhanallah let my fellow muslims ummah be patience this not the first time we are aware of what american countries and othes like Holland,Itali,France,Russia,Spain hass been doing of this such a controversial propagations and wet am passing this message to the entire people of this world that the prophet muhammad swallallahu alaihi wasallam is the true prophet that will come at the end of the world let them not allow there arrogant to push them away from having the mercy of ALLAH let the the prophet Muhammad (saw)is a messsanger of ALLAH to every leaving in this earth espatially the muslims and the christians let the christian go back and search in there true and real old bible that hass revealed in hebru languge the prophet Muhammad and some of the miraacles of the holy Quran was stated there in it and am saying may guide those that blinded there eyes frm seing the truth let all of us be patience we should nt be so rush the world is very contracted place,all the shall test deth and each and every will indeed give the account of his deeds
is this incident that the cinema in which the controvential film was being shown is destroyed by an earth quake?
Allah is greater.Allah is one.
Allah take revenge of his prophet MOHAMMAD ??? ???? ???? ? ??? ????
those who are non muslim. They should accept islam after this. Allah must forgive that sins which they done before accepting islam
Aslm brothers and sisters hope u all are welll inshallah. No matter what people does or says about Nabi Mohammad (SAW) we all know that Allah is the only one that can deal with those who do wrong. Remember that what ever we do or say in Islam Allah says he will never put anything upon us that we can not handle. Most of all equality and unity will make us strong. Revenge and gossip is unislamic so let those who created that filth and lie of Nabi Mohammad (SAW) let them be. Our lives on this dunyah is short so let us be strong muslims and follow the Quran and Sunnah so that we always send salutations and make Allah and our Nabi proud. Think of it, how would our Nabi Mohammad (SAW) have handled it? Remeber the story of they lady that kept throwing dirt in his way and mocking him. When she got sick he went to look for her when she got sick. So don’t worry leave it all in the hands of Allah. Let us ignore and Allah will do what must be done. ALLAH IS THE CREATOR AND WE ARE THE CREATION. ALLAHOE AKBAR!!!
ameen
you american idiots
why would you make a film of the prophet did you loose out of ideas you american mutherfucker
by looking at this miracle more people should convert to islam is the right choice for everyone
to all you who mocking islam you will burn in hell for iternity
Allah is fake and religions are made to keep people from going insane contemplating their mortality. You may now flame this comment box. *sits back and waits*
@ John u are fake … as in the bible ALLAH is mentioned in the name of ELLAH please refer to ur Bilble …. then there is no Xmass as welll please refer to Jeremiah 31:52
Revist and edit ur bible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hail Satan.
Allah/God/Bhagwan/Ashwar are names created by men (literally true.)It is true becuase men created all the stories and wrote all the religious texts read in the world. Women has never been part of this exercise that is why their roles and position in the society is inferior to man, in all the religions.
If Allah cannot/does not/will not forgive, then many of the names given and qualities attribtued to Allah such as
Ar-Rahman (??????) The All-Compassionate
Ar-Rahim (??????) The All-Merciful
As-Salam (??????) The Source of Peace
Al-Mu’min (??????)The Inspirer of Faith
Al-Musawwir (??????)The Shaper of Beauty
Al-Ghaffar (??????)The Forgiving
Ar-Razzaq (??????) The Sustainer
Al-Mudhill (?????)The Humiliator
Al-Halim (??????)The Forbearing
Al-Ghafur (??????)The Forgiver and Hider of Faults
Al-Hafiz (??????)The Preserver
Al-Karim (??????)The Generous
Al-Hakim (??????)The Perfectly Wise
Al-Muhyi (??????)The Giver of Life
Al-Wali (??????)The Protecting Friend
Al-’Afuww (?????)The Forgiver
should be removed from the list so cherished by Muslims.
If the UN formulates a law as the Muslim Countries are suggesting, then the biggest losers will be the Muslim countries themselves, because they have to open up their countries for non-Muslims to build their worship places, all non-Muslims to preach their religions and convert Muslims to their religions (because Muslims living in non-Muslim countries are free preach Islam and convert people to their religion)
The textbooks tauht to students have to be revised and all the hateful content has to be removed from the textbooks. The hateful content is only taught in Muslim countries and non-Muslim countries do not have any hate content in the textbooks taught in schools.
Schools will no longer be the places where you teach and prepare Muslims to hate non-Muslims.
THINK CAREFULLY WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FROM THE WORLD BECAUSE IF THE WORLD STARTS BEHAVING THE WAY MUSLIM COUNTRIES DO, MUSLIMS WILL LOSE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE CHERISHES SO FAR, PREACHING, TEACHING TO MUSLIMS AND SPREADING HATRED AGAINST NON-MUSLISM
U guy! Do you have any idea about what you are talking about?? U know Hindu religion where all religious stories are just literature not true…that means u know all other religions?!NEVER EVER! Think well before talking.NO DOUBT There is one God and Islam is the choosen religion by him…..Gather more knoledge and then talk,Alright?
Yeah you were chosen. Thats why your ppl are doing so well. Youd still be in caves fucking camels if America didnt find ur oil and teach u how to sell it. Your golden age passed 400 yrs ago. You are just a blip now. Insignificant. And you will always be so. its just ashame more of my countrymen wont say so because they hold to a moral authority aka political correctness. But ill say it. You will all be bones in the ground long before the light of freedom stops shining. You are a hair in the back of the throat of mankind. An annoyance. Not a chosen people.
Are the crusades still active?
Even a cursory look at this pic shows the story is wrong.
The street sign in the photo is in Spanish, pointing to other regions (susburbs?) in Chile.
The building looks nothing like a cinema, more like an apartment or office block and every single person in the photo has dark hair, if it was America, there would more likely be more diversity in the crowd.
How easily people are taken in.
How easily MUSLIMS were taken in, you mean. Others mostly weren’t.
To all followers of islam,
I apologize on behalf of America for the decisions of a hateful few. Everyone must understand that no matter the laws of lands, there will always be someone who wants to stand out and make rediculous claims. The majority of Americans do not hate Muslims, Islam, or your prophet. We welcome the ideas of all peoples, and this land is offered as a place to express all ideas and religions. The courts were right by creating the injunction that the video be removed based on the safety of the actress. However, I agree that the video should be barred from view because its ideas are baseless and only inspire more hate and misunderstanding.
As a soldier who served for the US Army, it was a privelege to have gone to Afghanistan. My unit was there to train the Afghan Army, so that those people, who personally told me they were happy we were there, could prtect themselves from KILLERS AND THUGS AND TERRORISTS, but of course not from Islam. The goal of the US is not to force anyone into our way, but to provide safety for all people to make their own choices. Your religion and ours is proof that this is the right way. Please do not base your decisions of a whole people on the actions of a few. I did not base hate towards all Middle Eastern people because Al Quada and Taliban wanted to kill Americans.
A Salam Alaykum. A friend
Well…maybe personally your motive is good or you are pushed to some thoughts.U know that who created Al QUIDA.it is America itself.that means America itself has given born to Terrorist.Osama bin laden was the agent of America but later he felt sympathy for muslims so he didn’t returned to America.whatever Osama did but is it logical for America to start against all muslims? Well I mean they have make people hate muslims and Islam.Now they are insulting the prophet sm.if the govt would be honest then why they dn call ban for it?why they say it is freedom of speech?….Actually they are not honest about the issues relating to Muslims because in the hearth of their heart they have hate for Muslims.So they always are busy in conspiracy against Muslims in name of Humanity.
Note:I mention here the leaders and the thinkers not generally all American people.I know there are many good people.
this is a punishment of what the americanz did
i have read almost every comment here, and all i see is people will believe what they want, in all religions, facts mean nothing so long as whoever is preaching furthers their own agenda. if there was a god, why did evidence of him just stop showing up? science is the only thing in this world that is all powerful
Agreed.
If Allah was real, why would he be hiding? If Jehovah was real, why would he be hiding?
If Allah wants somebody dead, why doesn’t he just snap his fingers and POW they’re dead? I’m sure Muslims have a list of reasons for this, just as Christians and Jews have reasons for explaining why THEIR version of God doesn’t show up.
It’s all delusion. And if I’m wrong … if Allah or Jehovah actually exist … let Him make my computer CRASH before I press the “Post Comment” button.
I’ll even count to 10 to give Him a fair chance.
10 … 9 … 8 … 7 … 6 … 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
Well, what do you know? I just proved that neither Allah nor Jehovah exist. How about that?
?O?????? one will raise a war against Allah and ahis His Prophet and ever succeed. Let ????e christians go †?? any lenghth †?? blackmail us, S????O?????? shall their names be removed from ????e list of those that will be I?????n????? heaven I?????n????? ????e last day.
Americans. Quit apologizing for things America does. The muslims do not apologize for their torturing and murderous ways. Death to all terrorist Muslim f–ks.
Please wake up people. There is no way to insult Mohammed because he is dead. As dead as Osama. As dead as Jesus. It is my right and freedom to speak my mind. No man may limit or restrict me, especially because of some archaic belief. I do not hate muslims. I simply believe that they are foolish. As foolish as Christians and Jews and all other followers of lies and fairy tales. If someone wants to make light of Mohammed or Allah or Jesus or Yahweh, it is well within their right as a freethinking individual to do so. And as for all of you who try to shove your childish beliefs upon others, ask yourself why. It is most likely because deep down you know you dont believe. You are scared of dissent because you fear your lack of faith. Only the insane are zealots. Only the brainwashed are blind. Muslims, you are only beginning to evolve socially. This is not an insult. I am not calling you second class citizens. It is simply historical truth. Islam, at least the radical end, is no different today than the catholic church was during the inquisition. You would torture and murder for your just and loving God? Bah. Get with the times. I do believe that people are capable of evil. I do believe this world is not perfect. But seperating yourself through religion, and hating all those who do not agree can hardly be called a solution. Give up your antiquated beliefs. Stop praying to a myth. Believe in yourself, your family, your friends. Stop hiding behind religion. Own up to your hypocrisy and hate mongering. And for the love of Allah please stop blaming America for everything. The whole world does this and its getting old. If it wasnt for America finding most Muslim countries would be in the dark ages technologically and financially as they are there now spiritually. All of you blaming America for everything sound an awful lot like Hitler blaming the Jews. Grow up. Take responsibility for your peoples barbarism as I am forced to take responsibility for mine.
Moderator, you are obviously too politically correct for ur own good. Its okay for muslims to speak ill of Americans but give a little back and u delete it.
Politically correct? Right is right and wrong is wrong. In this case, the story was fake. Period. And no comments were deleted. They are held in moderation until approved.
ALLAH? thats a comic book person lol get real people, there is no ALLAH, its all sand in your head!! Muslims are so stupid! thats why they cover there faces, so no one will know who they are.
Allah and Muhammad are both a part of a false religion.
Just like every other religion…
Lord, save us from your idiotic followers!
Damnit, never works…
wafflesat noon is a usless site just making money off google ads, its a smear liberal site with as noticed above full of paid comments that are moderated, and this wont msg wont make it live unless the owner of the site is too lazy to read thru them all and hits the bulk approve.
Thank you for your well-informed comment, with all of the sources you cited to back up your claims. Please give us examples of liberal smearing. Based on your own statements, the fact that your comment appears here must mean you are also a paid commenter. Welcome to the club!
I want to say one thing to all non-muslims, who think this incident was wrong or right. I dont this is wrong or right because i was not there at the time of collapse, but one thing i want to say you all non-muslims.
Just think one time that our ALLAH said that dont hurt any one religion and dont leave urs. thats why we all did nothing, but if ALLAH mentioned that thing that if someone hurt ur religion then go and destroy all churches, temples and all worship places of non-muslims. So each and everyday u wakeup with one destroy temple or church, every church in west and east was not still stood. So think about it why u still living even after insult us and our religion because our GOD (ALLAH) dont want to hurt other religions. But you will pay INSHAALLAH at the day of judgement.
