Sam Bacile has been named as the writer, director and producer of the two-hour film "Innocence of Muslims" which sparked protests which led to the death of the US Ambassador Chris Stevens in the Libyan city of Benghazi. Mr Bacile, who described himself as an Israeli Jew, is said to live in California where he works in real estate. He is either 52 or 56 according to various reports although there is no record of him being listed at an address in the US or of him having produced any other films. Indeed the mystery over his identity deepened further when a consultant on the film refuted Mr Bacile’s description of himself. Steve Klein told the Atlantic magazine that Bacile was not Jewish or Israeli and that the name Sam Bacile was a pseudonym. Mr Klein, who also has anti-Islam views, said that Mr Bacile contacted him about the film. He added: “I don’t know that much about him. I met him, I spoke to him for an hour. “He’s not Israeli, no. I can tell you this for sure, the State of Israel is not involved… His name is a pseudonym. I doubt he’s Jewish. I would suspect this is a disinformation campaign.”

...why would the film maker apologize?
They rape, pillage, plunder and murder and the media’s not demanding they apologize.
He may be a jack ass but in this country you can be, well for now anyway.
Repentant for what? Well said already, it’s the murderers who have something to pay for.
The liberal idiots don’t realize today they killed supposedly over this movie, and then they will be killing you for teaching your daughter to read.
Nothing to apologize for. This attack had NOTHING to do with his stupid “film” Nothing whatsoever.
There is no Sam Bacile.
He is likely a creation of Steven Anthony Klein, Hemet, CA.
Klein appears to be the force behind this trailer. I don’t believe a film exists, only a trailer uploaded to YouTube.
His real name is Emmanuel Goldstein.
Yep, and I’ve hated him for the last two minutes now.
Well played, sir.
1 Billion libs thought this was enough to kill the 1st.
Hey guys, you were the same kind that loved 9/11 and justified it as ANYTHING but islam. Here you go again!
When will the world either STOP acting like muslims cannot be expected to control their uncivilized behaviors,,OR admit that they are nothing more than a form of savage. A type of human wildlife.
If they are animals, then we can remember that in all dealings with them. If they want to be regarded as fully human, then we should demand more, and hold them accountable.
Well I think this says much about the man.
First he did not make the film to become famous or notorious if you prefer.
He isn’t foolish enough to make a film like this that provokes the most violent religion in the world and use his own name.
Basseley=Ba-ci-le???
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, told The Associated Press in an interview outside Los Angeles that he was manager for the company that produced “Innocence of Muslims,” which mocked Muslims and the prophet Muhammad and may have caused inflamed mobs that attacked U.S. missions in Egypt and Libya. He provided the first details about a shadowy production group behind the film.
Nakoula denied he directed the film and said he knew the self-described filmmaker, Sam Bacile. But the cell phone number that AP contacted Tuesday to reach the filmmaker who identified himself as Sam Bacile traced to the same address near Los Angeles where AP found Nakoula. Federal court papers said Nakoula’s aliases included Nicola Bacily, Erwin Salameh and others.
Nakoula told the AP that he was a Coptic Christian and said the film’s director supported the concerns of Christian Copts about their treatment by Muslims.
Some more insights here.

I’d like to see the entire film. I thought the trailer was hilarious.

Too bad the muzzies always seem to hate 24/7 rather then just two minutes.
My guess: Sam Bacile lives in a cave in Pakistan, in a Cairo apartment funded by the Muslim Brotherhood, or in a Palestinian camp. I’m guessing this was a deliberate provocation from the start.
Muslims have been rioting and killing innocent people in the name of the demon they call “god” for over a thousand years before this movie was made, and there’s no indication that they will stop rioting and killing any time soon.
So, why is this suddenly the filmmaker’s fault?
