"It was supposed to be a film about how the world looked like 2,000 years ago. Was not based on anything that has to do with religion"
"The entire cast and crew of the film are very upset and feel that they took advantage of the producer. We do not stand one hundred percent behind the film and we were deceived about the film uses. Shocked scenarios are drastic changes and lying all who participated," said the statement .
AP says that in the English version of the movie or do not see the actors to recite the name of
the prophet Muhammad or their voices clearly nadsinhronizovani.
Actress Cindy Li Garcia, who played in the movie, says that it is directed by Sam Basil deceived and that they did not say that the film will have anything to do with Islam and the prophet Mohammed.
"It was supposed to be a film about how the world looked like 2,000 years ago. Was not based on anything that has to do with religion, but about how things looked in Egypt. It was nothing related to Mohammed, Muslims or anything similar, "said Garcia.
On the other hand, the film director Sam Basil refuses to give up the film and his views about Islam.
"Islam is a cancer, and the point!" Basil said the AP.
He argues that the film cost about four million dollars and that it was financed by about 100 Jewish donors. The film was shot with a crew of 60 actors and 45 crew members, and filming lasted three months. The film was shot in California last year.
"This is a political, not a religious film," Basil said.
His film was not seen by many people until July of this year, when he set the film trailer with subtitles in Arabic. This low-cost and highly questionable artistic film outraged Muslims across the Arab world for presenting Mohammad as a violent womanizer.
Islam forbids showing the Prophet Muhammad in any form, especially in a pejorative context. The case with the Prophet Muhammad cartoons in newspapers in Denmark has sparked a wave of violence in many Muslim countries.
