Muhammad Film Consultant: ‘Sam Bacile’ is Not Israeli, and Not a Real Name
(The Atlantic) – As part of my search for more information about Sam Bacile, the alleged producer of the now-infamous anti-Muhammad film trailer “The Innocence of Muslims,” I just called a man named Steve Klein — a self-described militant Christian activist in Riverside, California.
Klein told me that Bacile, the producer of the film, is not Israeli, and most likely not Jewish, as has been reported, and that the name is, in fact, a pseudonym. He said he did not know “Bacile”‘s real name. He said Bacile contacted him because he leads anti-Islam protests outside of mosques and schools, and because, he said, he is a Vietnam veteran and an expert on uncovering al Qaeda cells in California.
“I can tell you this for sure, the State of Israel is not involved, Terry Jones (the radical Christian Quran-burning pastor) is not involved. There are about 15 people associated with the making of the film. Nobody is anything but an active American citizen. They’re from Syria, Turkey, Pakistan, they’re some that are from Egypt. Some are Copts but the vast majority are Evangelical.”
Klein’s anti-Islam protest: Chaparral high school students enmeshed in mosque debate plus photo.
Jim Horn, a Menifee-based author, and Steve Klein of San Jacinto hand out fliers to students leaving Chaparral High School. The fliers argue that Islam does not qualify for protection under the First Amendment because the religion does not foster peace. The men are members of a group called Concerned Citizens for The First Amendment (CCFA).
Laurie Webster, the mother of a Chaparral student, said she was mortified when her daughter came home with the flier that had been handed out by Horn.
“They say these terrible things and they don’t back them up. It’s fear-mongering targeted to children.”
During some of his previous First Amendment outreaches and in associated lawsuits, Klein has argued against the comments of a pastor and San Clemente’s ban on anti-illegal-immigrant leaflets. Klein said he also has faced off against a group of Saudi Arabian Muslims in San Diego.

Spat over leaflets vs. litter: Supreme Court won’t hear it
The US Supreme Court declined to enter a dispute between a group of political activists and the City of San Clemente, Calif., over an attempt to ban the distribution of leaflets on car windshields within city limits.
The dispute stems from a June 2007 incident in which Steve Klein and nine other individuals were confronted by sheriff’s deputies while distributing literature about immigration policy on car windshields. The deputies advised Mr. Klein that he was violating the city’s antilittering ordinance.

These are mainly high school students he’s talking about.
The following is quoted (for educational purposes) from CCU’s website, where Klein advises how to turn a Day of Silence into Ditch Day “by holding back your property, your children, from the homofascists using the public schools to search for, locate and molest your children or recruit them to that death style….”
