RFE/RL, "Sunni Scholars Call For Ban On Iranian Prophet Muhammad Film," 2015

Contemporary news coverage from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a US government funded international broadcaster, reporting the Sunni scholarly and clerical response to the film's release, including Egypt's Al-Azhar University and Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti. Its strength is contemporary, dated reporting on a fast moving controversy from an established news organization. Its limit is that it is journalism rather than peer reviewed scholarship, so it is cited for the documented facts of who objected and what was said rather than for interpretation.
