Pornographer behind Anti-Islam film

Los Angeles – The inflammatory anti-Islam film that has triggered rioting across the Muslim world was produced by a US religious group called Media for Christ and reportedly directed by a pornographer.The man apparently behind the film – entitled “Innocence of Muslims” on its 14-minute YouTube trailer – is a US-based Egyptian Copt and fraudster who may have violated his parole, US officials said on Friday.

The film was directed by 65-year-old Alan Roberts, a veteran whose prior oeuvre was dominated by schlock soft porn and hammy action with titles like Young Lady Chatterley II andKarate Cop, according to website Gawker.Gawker interviewed members of the cast ofInnocence of Muslims, who say they were duped into appearing in what they thought was a fictional epic, only to discover their lines had been dubbed over with anti-Muslim propaganda.

Roberts’s casting call lists the leading roles as George, Condalisa and Hillary, but in the finished version, the script was doctored to make them represent the Prophet Muhammad and figures from the Qur’an.The film was promoted by a network of right-wing Coptic and Evangelical Christians with a radical anti-Muslim agenda, like Egyptian American provocateur Morris Sadek and Terry Jones, a Florida pastor notorious for publicly burning a Qur’an.
