no one had heard of ...
turns out it was made by an israeli fimmaker and distributed by an anti-moslem egyptian.
hmmm.
is this just my paranoid mind or is there a smell about this?
where does someone get $5m for a deliberately provocative movie? 100 jewish donors? was someone behind the donors?
and why was it released in arabic when it isn't yet released in english?
bibi-cheney-style dirty tricks?
"The film was made by an Israeli filmmaker, Sam Bacile, who has gone into hiding.
The film was promoted by Morris Sadek, an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner who lives in California.
Speaking by phone to the Associated Press from an undisclosed location, writer and director Bacile remained defiant, maintaining that he intended his film to be a provocative political statement.
Bacile, 52, admitted he had not anticipated such a furious reaction to his film and said: "I feel sorry for the embassy. I am mad".
He also said the film was produced in English and that he did not know who had dubbed it in Arabic.
The full film has not been shown yet, he said, and he said he had declined distribution offers for now.
The two-hour movie, "Innocence of Muslims'', cost $5m to make and was financed with the help of more than 100 Jewish donors, said Bacile.
Sadek said that he had promoted the video on his website and on certain TV stations, which he did not identify." - al Jazeera
