    Default ‘It Makes Me Sick’: Actress in Muhammed Movie Says She Was Deceived

    And the plot just thickened.

    The story of the Muhammed movie which sparked deadly protests in Libya gets weirder. The actors who appeared in it had no idea they were starring in anti-Islam propaganda which depicts Muhammed as a child molester and thug. They were deceived by the film's director, believing they were appearing in a film about the life of a generic Egyptian 2,000 years ago.
    Cindy Lee Garcia, an actress from Bakersfield, Calif., has a small role in the Muhammed movie as a woman whose young daughter is given to Muhammed to marry. But in a phone interview this afternoon, Garcia told us she had no idea she was participating in an offensive spoof on the life of Muhammed when she answered a casting call through an agency last summer and got the part.
    The script she was given was titled simply Desert Warriors.
    "It was going to be a film based on how things were 2,000 years ago," Garcia said. "It wasn't based on anything to do with religion, it was just on how things were run in Egypt. There wasn't anything about Muhammed or Muslims or anything."
    In the script and during the shooting, nothing indicated the controversial nature of the final product. Muhammed wasn't even called Muhammed; he was "Master George," Garcia said. The words Muhammed were dubbed over in post-production, as were essentially all other offensive references to Islam and Muhammed.
    For example, at 9:03 in the , Garcia berates her husband, who wants to send their daughter to Muhammed: "Is your Muhammed a child molester?" she says in the final product. But the words are dubbed over what she actually said. The line in the script—and the line Garcia gave during filming—was, "is your God a child molester," Garcia told us today.
    Garcia was horrified when she saw the end product, and when protesters in Libya killed four U.S. Embassy employee.
    "I had nothing to do really with anything. Now we have people dead because of a movie I was in. It makes me sick."
    According to Garica, her three days on set last July were unremarkable. The film's mysterious pseudonymous writer and director, "Sam Bacile," has claimed to be an Israeli real estate mogul. But Garcia said Bacile told her he was Egyptian on set. Bacile had white hair and spoke Arabic to a number of "dark-skinned" men who hung around the set, she said. (A Bacile associate alsotold The Atlantic he wasn't Israeli or Jewish.)
    "He was just really mellow. He was just sitting there and he wanted certain points to be made."
    Once, Garcia said, Bacile wanted a girl that "Master George" (aka Muhammed) was to sleep with to look seven years old, instead of 10, to heighten the outrage. But his Assistant Directors protested, saying that was too young.
    After the protests erupted and Bacile appeared in the media, Garcia called him up today to express her outrage at his deception.
    "I called Sam and said, 'Why did you do this?' and he said, 'I'm tired of radical Islamists killing each other. Let other actors know it's not their fault.'"
    Garcia isn't satisfied simply knowing it wasn't her fault.
    "I'm going to sue his butt off."
    Update: The entire 80-member cast and crew of the film have released a statement saying they were misled. Via CNN:
    The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer. We are 100% not behind this film and were grossly misled about its intent and purpose. We are shocked by the drastic re-writes of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred.

    If true, the director of this movie has some serious questions to answer.

    They waited 2 months to make sure they attacked on 9-11

    You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

    Why would I deny the fact that some fanatic thugs attacked our embassies on 9/11? It's true.

    That's a bit disturbing. Not a very big fan of mocking the faith of others. But I am not blaming this movie for what others did. They are responsible for their own actions.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
