The overwhelming evidence suggests that the movie was NOT funded by Jewish donors. Bacile himself is not an Israeli - the Israeli government confirmed that they have no citizens by that name. It seems likely that the movie was principally (or entirely) funded by Coptic Christians and Evangelicals. According to the actors who starred in the film, Bacile himself is likely a Coptic Christian. He's identifying himself as Israeli in a disgraceful attempt to shield direct Muslim anger at the film against Israel and Jews, rather than Copts.

Note: I have no problems with "Bacile," or whatever his name is, making this film. But I do have an issue with him trying to protect his own community by wrongly claiming that the film was a Jewish/Israeli project.

I don’t know about Coptic Christians, but no Fundamental Christian that I have ever known would produce or back a lewd film.
