The online trailer for Innocence Of Muslims, a movie written, produced and directed by amateur filmmaker Sam Bacile, is being blamed for sparking deadly demonstrations in Cairo and Benghazi on Tuesday. The U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other American diplomats were killed during the uprisings, leading to increased tensions in the Middle East. As a result, Bacile, who has no discernible film industry credits and told The Wall Street Journal “Islam is a cancer”, has gone into hiding, The Associated Press reports.

Well, of course he is. Asshole.

1. You have to wonder whether Bacile was purposely trying to start a conflict

and who is behind him. Either that, or he's totally batshit insane.

3. Unfortunately, the possibility of purposeful manipulation looms large.

We've seen that when 17 Saudis commit terrorist hi-jackings we attack Iraq not Saudi Arabia.

Why wouldn't we thing this was an attempt to manipulate US politics?

2. He made this bed. Now he can lie in it.

4. Is that a pseudonym for "Curveball"?

This has taken a sharp right into crazyland.

5. Hiding in plane sight...

Just look at the guy who knows everything about him, except his real name.

6. I just saw the trailer for that piece of crap. I want those two minutes back.

7. I heard on Ezra Klien on the Ed Show

talking bout how this guy (Sam Bacile) does not exist, how there is no record of the individual who created the video
or uploaded it, not sure what he is trying to say, but left me confused to say the least.

8. Way out of date.

There is no "Sam Bacile." The filmmaker is an Egyptian-American Copt who's not in hiding.
