The Film is the focal point:
- Of protest at U.S. embassies in several Muslim countries that has resulted in the deaths of at least 4 Americans, including the Ambassador to Libya;
- Of Presidential statements; and
- Of counter-statements by a presidential candidate.
Who made The Film? It is said to have been made by one Sam Bacile; but who is Sam Bacile?
- Skepticism about the actual identity of "Sam Bacile," [is abound]. The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg contacted a consultant of the film, Steve Klein, who said that Bacile, contrary to previous claims in The Wall Street Journal and Associated Press, is not Israeli nor actually named Sam Bacile. (It's a pseudonym.) Klein tells Goldberg:"I don't know that much about him. I met him, I spoke to him for an hour. He's not Israeli, no. I can tell you this for sure, the State of Israel is not involved, Terry Jones (the radical Christian Quran-burning pastor) is not involved. His name is a pseudonym. All these Middle Eastern folks I work with have pseudonyms. I doubt he's Jewish. I would suspect this is a disinformation campaign."
- Who is this Steve Klein ?
Klein is known in Southern California <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">for his vocal opposition to the construction of a mosque</span> in Temecula, southeast of Los Angeles, in 2010. <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">He heads up Concerned Citizens for the First Amendment, a group that contends Islam is a threat to American freedom.</span>
- What is Steve Klein's political affiliation ?
- What is the film makers nationality ?
- Who financed the production of The Film ?
- There are reports that the Anti-Islam video is linked to Christian extremists in the US
- Were the Actors in The Film 'Duped' into making The Film ?"A casting call published in July 2011 in Backstage magazine and in other publications for actors identifies the working title of the movie as "Desert Warrior" and describes it as a "historical Arabian Desert adventure film."
But the 80 cast and crew members involved in the making of the movie said they were "grossly misled" about its intent.
"The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer," they said in a statement to CNN.
They said they were "shocked by the drastic rewrites of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."
An actress in the film, who asked not to be identified, said the original script did not include a Prophet Mohammed character. She said she and other actors complained that their lines had been changed.
The woman said she spoke Wednesday with the producer, who is identified in the advertisement as Sam Bassiel.
"He said he wrote the script because he wants the Muslims to quit killing," she said. "I had no idea he was doing all this."

Why was The Film Made? - Surely, anyone in his/her right mind knows that a film about the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (based on recent history alone) would be CERTAIN to stir violence.
- Was it made to stir up anti-American feelings among Muslims ???
- Is it part of a ploy to affect the 2012 Presidential Election in the U.S., if so:
- Which candidate was supposed to benefit ???

- Which candidate was supposed to benefit ???
- Was this part of a plan to commemorate Al Qaeda and its fallen leader, Osama bin laden, commencing on the same date that the U.S. was remembering 911 ???
Finally, The Movie the Muslim World Is Furious About Might Not Even Be a Movie:
The biggest international news story of the month may be based on a total fraudhttp://www.theatlanticwire.com/glob...-furious-about-might-not-even-be-movie/56804/. That's the sinking feeling reporters are getting about Muslim Innocence, the so-called "film" that ignited a flurry of riots from Algeria to Gaza to Egypt to Afghanistan.
