No, Muhammad had to have been the bus driver. Notice the actor is wearing a crown of thorns, hence he is a representation of Jesus. I can't see this being pro-islamic, since the Muslims regard Jesus as a prophet of God. It is only a mockery of Christianity and has nothing to do with Muhammad. But since the Islamic world has declared a Holy War on the "Christians" of the west, it seems a logical interpretation of this short film would be Islam against Christianity in some sort of Jihad spoof. Of course, the person who posted it may have changed the title, and it could have originally been "When Jesus Comes to Town" and the film maker had no intention of including Muhammad's name in it at all. The latter may be a closer representation of the facts. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Euroc is totally correct. I have seen this video posted before with the title Muhammed comes to town - runs over Jesus. The poster here just left off part of the title. The video is intended to mock Christianity (as usual). Not only does the character have a crown of thorns, the loin cloth is taken from when Jesus was clad simply in a loin cloth while on the cross. In the middle eastern culture you would never see a man only covered by a loin cloth, it is intended to be degrading.
Too bad we feel we have to mock any religon to this extent in the name of comedy. :-O :-O :-O :-( :-( :-( :-@ :-@ :-@ :-@

Thank you for posting the added information, jrnlieder. By the way, it does feel good to be right once in a while! You are correct in saying that mockery of a religion is pretty poor sport. A much better way to degrade a religion is to learn about it and discuss what it is that makes it uncredible. I can assure everyone that such tactics make for very heated discussions! I do wonder though, what if it were Muhammad prancing around town in a turban and a adult diaper? Would the film be accepted as well as this one has? How about if it were a black male and it were called Toby visits Burmingham? Alas, the Christian faith has always been the whipping boy of secular society, no matter how far back in the history books you check. So why should today be any different?
