 Michael Moore Fahrenheit 9/11
Michael Isikoff's Newsweek feature was typical: a point-by-point rebuttal accompanied by a photo of Moore captioned "Problem with authority." But the most florid outrage was expressed by George Orwell's demon seed, Christopher Hitchens.
But Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 has certainly raised the political temperature and if President Bush does watch the documentary that savages his presidency he should be advised not to have a bowl of pretzels within reach.
Michael Moore, genius, man of the people, cult hero or muckraker — depending on where one stands within the political spectrum — walked away from Cannes with the coveted Palme d'Or for his controversial documentary film Fahrenheit 9/11 and received an unprecedented 20-minutes standing ovation to boot.

Rohan's nationality nor his religious affiliation were ever in doubt (although there does appear to have been some difference of opinion about his sanity).

Though Israeli firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze and Rohan soon after confessed to setting it, Muslims around the world convinced themselves that the Israeli authorities had paid Rohan between $50,000 and $100 million to burn the mosque.

The claims were mirrored on the Israeli side by one cabinet minister who made equally false allegations blaming Arab provocateurs.
The culprit was in fact Dennis Michael Rohan, a delusional Australian sheep shearer and Messianic Christian who believed he was a descendant of the Biblical King David sent as a messenger of God to destroy Temple Mount’s Islamic edifices and pave the way for a Jewish Third Temple.
He also claimed to be related to Elizabeth II - apparently because the names of his four sisters Kathleen, Eileen, Maureen and Colleen all rhyme with Queen.
