Nakoula, who pleaded no contest to federal bank fraud charges in 2010, told AP in a brief interview outside his home that he considered Islam a cancer and that the film was intended to be a provocative political statement assailing the religion.
He denied being Sam Bacile, the pseudonym for the video's purportedly Israeli Jewish writer and director, but AP said the cellphone number it called for a telephone interview with Bacile on Tuesday matched Nakoula's address.
His outing solidified growing evidence that members of Egypt's Coptic diaspora, who complain of persecution by Egypt's Muslim majority, were behind the making and promotion of the video.
Coptic Christian posing as a Jew hating on Muslims -- and a White Horse candidate chiming in to boot. If I were king of the world, I'd throw all the whacked out religious fanatics into the lion's den and let God sort them out. The rest of the world needn't be dragged into it.

(4,220 posts)Doesn't matter what country or region or whatever. The religious nuts use their position to get POWER and the particular religion they are selling almost does not matter...
So these Coptic guys made this movie to try to create unrest so somehow they don't lose POWER in this new version of Egypt??? How ordinary in a shitty way. Hollywood, Jewish "investors" and America -- sounds perfect.. Bring in Terry Jones as your shill, he'll bring the cameras and thats that!!!
That they get Mittens to join them in their quest is a bonus for them and for us!!!
