‘Innocence Of Muslims’ Filmmaker Sam Bacile In Hiding After The Attack On The US Embassy In Libya [Video]
Sam Bacile, the maker of the movie which allegedly attacks the Islam prophet Mohammad, went into hiding after the protests in Egypt and Libya. US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three Foreign Service staffers were killed when a rocket propelled grenade hit their vehicle. Protesters are allegedly upset about the film’s trailer, which was posted on YouTube, according to CNN.
Bacile addressed the press by phone from an undisclosed location on Tuesday. The 56-year-old filmmaker remained defiant in his opposition to Islam, referring to the religion as a cancer and noting his movie is intended to be a provocative political condemnation of the faith, Yahoo News reports. He also hopes the motion picture will expose what he considers Islam’s flaws to the world and help his native land in the process.
Sam Bacile had this to say about his anti-Islam movie:
“This is a political movie. The US lost a lot of money and a lot of people in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we’re fighting with ideas. Islam is a cancer, period.”
The controversial movie’s writer and director describes himself as an Israeli Jew; he is also a California real estate developer. The two-hour film is entitled Innocence of Muslims and cost $5 million to produce. Bacile claims that more than 100 Jewish donors contributed to the making of the political flick.
The US consulate in Libya burned to the ground after protestors took control of the complex, starting small fires and shooting into buildings with machine guns. Protestors in Cairo climbed over the consulate walls, tore down the American flag, and replaced it with an Islamic banner.
Update: The original photo used in this story and the current photo are simply stills from the movie and not pictures of Sam Bacile who has been in hiding.

I hate to say it, but when Muslims act this way, they are just reinforcing the negativity towards the religion. The message that I am getting is: Cancer kills, and so do Muslims. Want the world to stop hating you? Stop trying to kill the world.

Your kidding right? What about the fringe Christian Terrorists in the good old USA that kill abortionists, Sihks in a Temple,people who are a different color, etc.etc. all in the name of their god! People who live in glass houses….

Whilst I sympathise with your views, Heather, the kind of people who carry out such attacks do not want the world to stop hating them. They thrive on murder and chaos and build their power bases around it.

Jimmy Craig, I say the same thing about Christians, or any other group, that carries out hateful acts. I find it ironic, though, that, to protest a film that is negative towards Islam, some Muslims are committing acts that just reinforce the negativity. And, Neil, yes, I agree.

How ridiculously ignorant. Muslims are reinforcing negativity towards their religion? You're making this statement as if the actions of a few dozen fanatics (the craziest of the bunch) are representative of a religion of over ONE BILLION people. Hell, let's assume there are 5000 Islamic terrorists in the world (a gross over-estimate). That's .000005 percent of the total population of Islamic followers. Judging roughly 23% of the population based on the rogue, inhumane actions of a few fanatics is entirely foolish.
There are fanatics in every religion, it has been like that throughout history. Judging an entire group of people based on the actions of a miniscule portion is just ridiculously stupid.
Sep 12, 2012
Yes, I agree. My point is that the actions of this one small group does perpetuate the negative stereotypes towards Islam. Christians, atheists, white (supremecists), etc. who "behave badly" (for a lack of a better term) also perpetuate the negatively towards their own groups. The irony.

Am also getting a message, make a movie to mock and disrespect religion to provoke chaos and have innocent people killed "all in the name of freedom of speech". The man who made this movie should apologize to the victims families and the criminals who killed the 4 innocent Americans should be caught and prosecuted.

US… This is just the beginning…u have chosen a new alliance (Islamists) which u think u can use… they also do so… both of u enjoy!

Insulting a person who is already died 1400 years ago doesn't make sense. Religion is a believe, if you don't like it, its ok! but making a movie film to tell that "i don't like it".. that's a mentally ill person, and actor!

Sam Basile is neither Israeli or Jewish. This is a good example of anti-semetic defamation.

Who the hell made this film? These "actors" must have been starving to have agreed to participate in it. Some things are so mind-numbingly awful they're actually fun to watch – like "Hold On" – the 1965 film by the deservedly-forgotten British pop band, Herman's Hermits.
This wasn't fun to watch.

We Have to show the Ethic of Islam in our dead, vandalism in Islam is not accepted. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:" The strong man is not the one who wrestles well but the strong man is the one who controls himself when he is in a fit of rage."
This situation and the solution both mentioned in Quran,
In Sorat Alnisa (140, Page 100): "And it has already come down to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them."

You misunderstand , Islam give the right for women more than they have on western country now. Countries on the middel east using the name of Islam but not following how Islam tream women.
Prophet Peace Be upon him says :
" Woman is fragile like glass, and men should therefore treat women with delicacy and
tenderness as they would handle an article made of glass."
( Page 801, 8500 Precious Gems, Allahdin Publications).
