Minister Ghulam Ahmed Bilour set a bounty for the filmmaker of "Innocence of Muslims."

A Pakistani minster offered a $100,000 bounty for the death of the filmmaker “Innocence of Muslims.”

Minister Ghulam Ahmed Bilor told reporters on Saturday that it was a crime to instigate violence but the situation called for action from the Muslim community. He recognized that the courts may charge him with indictment of murder but he was “ready to be hanged in the name of the Prophet Muhammad,” according to the New York Times. 

Bilor also his extended the invitation to members of al-Qaeda and Taliban.

From NBC NEWS:

"The American who produced the sacrilegious film in the U.S. is also liable to death and we will shower dollars on the one who killed the blasphemer. If members of the banned militant organizations kill the maker of the blasphemous movie, they will also be rewarded," Bilour announced.

The decision to offer a bounty for filmmaker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was made solely by Bilour, said the Telegraph. He denies any connection to his party or the government. 

A government spokesman told BBC News that the government condemned the remarks and said it was considering taking action against Bilour. 

However, members of the Awami national party told also BBC News that it would not take action against him. 

The prime minister's press secretary told this statement to the BBC: 

He is not a member of the PPP, he is an ANP politician and therefore the prime minister will speak to the head of the ANP to decide the next step. They are not ruling out action against him but say he will stay in his post for now.

The violence instilled through Bilours remarks contrasted from a peaceful rally in Islamabad. 5,000 protesters, including hundreds of women, marched towards parliament, chanting: We love our Holy Prophet" and "Punishment for those who humiliated our prophet.

Muslims have protested in several countries since the release of the film. The Atlantic has identified nearly 50 riots on 3 continents since Nakoula released the movie.
