Actors in Muhammad movie trailer say they were ‘duped’

Wow! The actors of the movie that spurred the violent attacks that led to the death of U.S diplomats say the lines aired weren’t theirs.

They say it was a voice-over replacing their original words.

Who has seen this movie please?

This is how WSJ is reporting it:

"Muhammad Movie Trailer," an online video assault on the founder of Islam, has been blamed for spurring violent attacks on U.S. diplomats and missions in Egypt and Libya.

The violence was real. But its spark appears to have been a mixture of half-truths and misrepresentations designed to obscure the filmmaker's identity and the project's aims.

The most incendiary anti-Islamic language in the 14-minute clip appears to be voiced not by the actors, but as poorly synchronized voiceovers. People identifying themselves as cast and crew members said Wednesday they had been duped. The man who said he was behind the movie and characterized himself as an Israeli-American appears to have used a pseudonym.

In a telephone interview with The Wall Street Journal late Tuesday, a man identifying himself as Sam Bacile, a real-estate developer in California who was 52 years old, said he had made the film. Calling himself an Israeli-American backed by Jewish donors, he described Islam as a "cancer."

A user by the name of Sam Bacile posted "Muhammad Movie Trailer" in early July on Google Inc.'s YouTube, where for weeks it appeared to escape notice. Sam Bacile was also the name provided to a reporter by the Washington-based activist who forwarded a link of the video clip to reporters last week, a first step in bringing it to global notice.
