" Sat Bacile said to have wanted to help Israel , his country of origin, showing the world the faults Islam. This film is political . religious No , he defends himself yet. The main problem is that I am the first to put someone on the screen representing the Prophet Muhammad. It's crazy , s' Sat Bacile is forbidden. however we open the floodgates.

"  Steve Klein, a consultant for the film, however, provides that the director is upset.When he was made ​​aware of the death of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, "he collapsed" , he said. The director was aware of the risks he - him - to make this film, he said the Sacramento Bee. His consultant would have warned: "You will be the next Theo Van Gogh." the Dutch filmmaker was killed by a Muslim extremist in 2004 after having made ​​a film seen as insulting to Islam. "It was launched in this film knowing that it could happen," said Steve Klein. And certainly also in mind the violent protests had led in 2005 to the dissemination of the Mohammed cartoons in Denmark .
