Nakula Nakula Basileus, California Copt convicted for financial fraud, said the Associated Press (AP) that helped produce the film "Innocent Muslims," ​​and some of the details suggest that he just might be Sam Basil - as signs man who directed the controversial films .
In an interview guided near Los Angeles, Nakula (55) told AP that he was the manager of the company that produced "Innocent Muslims" and to insuring that the logistics for the film, which mocks Islam and the prophet Muhammad.
Nakula denied that he directed this achievement, which could be the cause of violent protests in front of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya and Egypt. However, the AP has come to the telephone number of the director, who presents himself as Sam Basil, the investigation of this news agencies led to the same address where she found Nakul.
 Even more interesting is what the AP found in federal court documents: Nakula was able to use pseudonyms like Nicholas Basile (Nicola Bacily) and Salameh Ervin (Erwin Salameh).
Nakula told AP that a Coptic Christian and director of the film shares the concerns of the religious community because of Muslim relations with her. He also denied that uses the identity of Sam Basil, and even a journalist showed his driver's license, but the whole time holding thumb over the middle name - Basileus.
AP is then independently checked his data, he found what he was hiding under the fingers, as well as his other ties to Basil.


The press agency got Basil's phone number from Morris Sadek, conservative American Copt who was promoted last days "Innocent Muslims" on its website. Copts in Egypt, otherwise, has long complained of the Arab majority in this country, and to discriminate against them occasionally violent processions.
Nakula, who abstained talked about his role in the film, was in 2010. was convicted of financial fraud in California, which had to pay $ 790,000 in damages.
Did not dispute the allegations in the indictment, was sentenced to 21 months in prison, and in the next five years he was not allowed to use computers or the Internet without the permission of the supervising officer on probation.
"This is 100 percent American film, oxen each"
However, in the online YouTube account "Sam Basil" which appeared in a clip from "Innocence Muslims," ​​the owner of the order until Tuesday leave comments. Among them is one of the Arabic language:
"This is 100 percent American film, oxen each." 
U.S. Assistant State Prosecutor Jennifer Li Williams told the AP that Nakula made fraudulent bank accounts, using stolen personal information of citizens and their social security numbers. This "earned" the money is deposited to other fake accounts and raised ga on ATMs. 
Actors from "Innocence Muslims" - low-cost film a few months ago very briefly shown in one the Los Angeles cinema - have distanced themselves over the Los Angeles Times list of the final product. They were, as they say, misled regarding the project, and part of their dialogue is rough nadsinhronizovan in postproduction.


In the English version of the trailer on YouTube, directly mentioning the Prophet Muhammad seems to be the result of postproduction modifications, according to the AP - as if the actors do not speak what he hears, but it is a result of post-synchronization.
Pastor Terry Jones from Florida, known for burning the Islamic holy book the Koran on the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 11September, said yesterday that he spoke with the director of the film, and to pray for him.
However, Jones said that he had never met a live, but that the director had contacted him a week ago, in order to promote the film.
"I met with him. Besides Basil - this is not the right name.'ve Only talked to him over the phone. Definitely hiding, and does not reveal his identity. Honestly was very shaken by what happened and is happening. Many people do not support, "said Jones.
Libyan officials yesterday said they were U.S. ambassador to that country Kris Stevens and three employees at the embassy were killed during violent demonstrations in Benghazi, but U.S. officials are now saying that an investigation of whether in fact there was a planned terrorist attack, was held on the anniversary events of 11 September.

The U.S. Navy has sent two warships in Libyan waters, after the murder of U.S. Ambassador to the Islamic extremist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, the news agencies reported.
"Two destroyers ukotviće near the Libyan coast, but only as a preventive measure," said an unnamed U.S. military official and added that sending a ship does not mean impending military operation.
USS Laboon already located near the Libyan coast, while the USS McFaul on the road for a few days and should arrive at your destination. Ships that are equipped with tomahawk missiles, not having a specific mission.


"The U.S. military regularly take precautions in certain situations. This in some circumstances it is not only logical, but also as a precaution," said the military official.
United States earlier announced that it will send a team to Libya of about 50 Marines from the anti-terrorist unit, after the attack on Tuesday night in which the next ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed, three more Americans.
U.S. President Barack Obama ordered the raising of the level of security at all U.S. diplomatic missions.
An unnamed U.S. official said that the staff of the consulate in Benghazi were evacuated to Germany and that a number of American diplomats withdrawn from Tripoli.
Who is Sam Basil?
The film, which lasts two hours, called "Innocent Muslims", drew attention in Egypt after an insert translated into Arabic and published in South tjubu.
Sam Basil, a 56-year old building contractor from California, said he wrote the screenplay, produced and directed the film. Basil told the AP that he was an Israeli Jew and a U.S. citizen.However, Israeli officials said yesterday that they have not heard of Basil and do not have the information to their citizens.
Basil said he did not anticipate such a heated reaction. Speaking by telephone from an undisclosed location, Basil who is hiding from yesterday, remains defiant. He says he believes the film will expose the shortcomings of the world of Islam.
"Islam is a cancer, and the point," he repeated several times.
On the other hand, the American pastor Terry Jones, who has enraged the Muslim world 2010th year plans to burn the Koran says is responsible for promoting the controversial film.
He stated that this is a satirical film about the life of Mohammed, adding that he showed a promotional trailer after he organized a symbolic "trial" prophet. The Afghan government has tried to prevent the outbreak of protests.
President Hamid Karzai condemned the film describes as "brutal and offensive." The authorities have also temporarily banned access Ju tjubu.
After posting a clip from the film, followed by the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, were killed when U.S. Ambassador Christopher Jay Stevens and three officials. 
In the Benghazi residents are fighting among themselves over whether the attack was correct or not. One passerby said Reuter reporter: "We showed the Italians in 2006, and now the Americans have seen what we did." He talked about the raid to the Italian embassy for allegedly insulting Islam.
A few hours before the attack, in Benghazi, the Egyptians also angry about a film about Muhammad, protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, climbing walls and swinging on the U.S. flag, which was briefly replaced by a black Islamist flag. Police Riot Control Unit stood by the walls of the embassy, ​​but the few hours allowed the demonstrators to climb on the walls.
However, it seemed that the demonstrators themselves are controlled and do not exceed certain limits. Only 24 hours after the attacks in Egypt and Libya, the police were forced to disperse angry demonstrators with tear gas in front of the U.S. Embassy in Tunis.
Protests in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, sparked a bizarre movie that was filmed in the U.S. Jew from California, and that Islam is called a "cancer". In the published sequences of the Southern tjubu prophet Muhammad is ridiculed and described as a cheater, a womanizer and a lunatic. It also has been shown to have sexual relations and calls for the massacres.
For many Muslims blasphemous to publish images of Muhammad and this incident is reminiscent of the one when a Danish newspaper published cartoons izavale unrest in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, the 2006th which killed at least 50 people.

Actors waive the film about Mohammed: We of abuse

"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"




Actors from the film from the film "Innocent Muslims" Sam Basil are deceived about the intentions of the producer and entirely renounce final movie in which their voices in some parts nadsinhronizovani, reported AP news agency reported citing a statement actors.
"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.
