发帖数: 24893 | 1 Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has been identified by federal authorities as the
filmmaker behind the anti-Islam film that sparked violent protests in Egypt
and Libya, according to the Associated Press.
A Coptic Christian living in southern California, Nakoula was identified as
the man behind "Innocence of Muslims," a film that insulted Islam and the
Prophet Muhammad, leading to protests spreading across the Middle East,
North Africa, and elsewhere.
On Wednesday, Nakoula told authorities he was the manager of the company
that produced "Innocence of Muslims," but denied that he was "Sam Bacile,"
according to the BBC.

Sam Bacile is the name credited as the writer and director of the film.
Doubts about Sam Bacile's identity cropped up on Wednesday, amid speculation
that the name was a pseudonym.
Reports about Sam Bacile have claimed that he is an Israeli Jew, but Steve
Klein, a member of a far-right anti-Islamic Christian group, told ABC News
that he was probably Arab Christian. "I've met him twice. He is not a
citizen of Israel. He is in hiding," said Klein.

According to the AP, Nakoula was involved in a criminal prosecution in 2010,
which revealed that he has used many aliases, including Nicola Bacily,
Robert Bacily, Erwin Salameh and more.
Controversial Pastor Terry Jones, who sparked outrage by burning Korans on
the ninth anniversary of 9/11 and has been reported to have had a role
producing "Innocence of Muslims," said, "I have not met him. Sam Bacile,
that is not his real name," according to CBS News. "He is definitely in
hiding and does not reveal his identity. He was quite honestly fairly shook
up concerning the events and what is happening. A lot of people are not
supporting him. He was generally a little shook up concerning this situation
."
ABC News reported that Nakoula called police to his California home because
he is frightened for his life. According to a sheriff, the police were at
Nakoula's house overnight, as media reports identified him and his address
circulated.
The AP noted that Nakoula had a checkered past with the law, pleading no
contest to federal bank fraud charges in 2010 in California for setting up
fraudulent bank accounts with stolen identities.
A crew member who worked on the film told the Los Angeles Times that the
cast and crew had no idea the film was anti-Islamic. He said they were led
to believe it was a war drama called "Desert Warriors," and that the
dialogue heard in the trailer was recorded after the actors left. Actors who
starred in the film have said the same. | l****z
