* Media for Christ denies its involvement with the Movie.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula may have stolen the identity of Alan Roberts, the man behind the soft-core porn classic such as The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood and Karate Cop, to write and produce the anti-Islamic movie, the “innocence of Muslims” or Alan Roberts directed the movie under Sam Bacile.
Nakoula’s court reports indicate his involvement in thefts, but do not indicate of his work experience with movies.
Robert Brownell a.k.a Robert Alan Brows is Alan Roberts and place of residence is listed as Tarzana, California.
Alan Roberts alleged to be in his early 60s, also an anti-Islamic activist, whose names appear on various Coptic Christian sites. His name also appears in the casting call advertisements in various. Alan Roberts directed Desert Warriors, but the movie was altered significantly by an unknown director.
Between 2009 and2011 Roberts purchased the rights for the pre-production of Desert Warrior, a title which was used to recruit casting members for the movie through moon casting, Craigslist, back Stage and various other sites.
In the 2009 criminal complaint document it states that “birth certificates, driver’s licenses, devbit cards, credit cards, social security cards, passports, loan documents, leases, business cards, invoices, or receipts bearing names other than “Nakoula Basseley Nakoula” including but not limited such names as Thomas J Tanas, Ahmad Hamdy, Erwin Salameh, and Nocola Bacily;
Below are the names of four men who are termed as radical Coptic Christians and allegedly involved in making of the movie.
Steve Klein, an extremist Evangelical, first told the AP that the filmmaker was an Israeli Jew, and that he was only a consultant on the film. He now says that Sam Basile is a pseudonym as part of a disinformation campaign for an individual whose name he does not know and who is not an Israeli or Jewish and that he had only met him once. He says Basile initially contacted him. Klein says that the film “was designed to stop the Muslim population in America reaching 10 per cent as they would then ‘work together and attack their host country’. Our intent is to show people what America could look like in 50 to 75 years time. The truth is that Muslims are a violent people and they are taking the living with them over a cliff.’” Klein now claims that “the film was paid for by ‘Middle Easterners, Jewish people, Christians and a lot of former Muslims’”. Some money came from Britain, Scotland, France, Germany and Holland,’ he said. Klein said that through a group that he had founded, called Middle Eastern Experts’ Team (MEET) “and his contacts with the Coptic community he has been asked to give his insights to the FBI and the U.S. Marine Corps.” Klein produces a television show called “Wake up America” on The Way TV, which shares the same Duarte address as Media for Christ headed by Joseph Nasralla Abdelmasih. Klein posts regularly on Pamela Geller’s Atlas Shrugs, In July 2011, Robert Spencer’s website, Jihad Watch, promoted a rally Klein organized alongside the anti-Muslim Coptic extremist Joseph Nasrallah to demand the firing of LA County Sheriff Lee Baca, whom they painted as a dupe for Hamas. He is a board member and founder of a group called Courageous Christians United, which promotes anti-Mormon, anti-Catholic and anti-Muslim literature (including the work of Robert Spencer) on its website. He is affiliated with the Church at Kaweah which has been profiled by the SPLC including reference to Klein’s long record of activism against Muslims. Klein was involved in the protests against the Temecula mosque. Klein appears to be allied with the National American Coptic Assembly, a radical Islam phobic group headed by Morris Sadik. Klein says that he “inspired Basile” to make the film and said after the attacks in Libya “We went into this knowing this was probably going to happen.” SOURCES: – ** – ** – ** – ** – ** – ** – **
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is an American Egyptian Copt. His cell phone traces to the same address as the cell phone number used by the mysterious Sam Basile. Nakoula claims that he was manager for the company that produced the video, and provided logistics for the film, but that he was not the producer. Nakoula admits a role in the production of the film, and says that “it was intended as a provocative statement”. He denies being Basile, but says that he knows Sam Basile who is the filmmaker. Nakoula has convictions for drug possession and fraud, and is an ex-convict on probation. He faces possible arrest for breaching the conditions of his parole (using the internet, computers, or email without approval of a probation officer for five years). He is now being identified as the producer of the film. SOURCES: – ** – ** – ** – ** – ** – ** – ** – **
Morris Sadek is an American Egyptian Copt. Sadek was the source of the telephone number supposedly belonging to Sam Basile that was given to AP, and which they called for their interview. Sadek was also the one who translated the film into Arabic, posted Arabic articles online drawing attention to the film, sent a link to the film to Egyptian journalists, and promoted the film heavily on his website and in social media. Coptic Solidarity organization officials have condemned Sadek’s anti-Muslim activities. Sadek was banned from entering Egypt and had his citizenship revoked in May 2011 because he called for war against the country. SOURCES: – ** – ** - **
Joseph Nasralla Abdelmasih, an Egyptian American Coptic Christian, is the head of Media for Christ who produced the film. He spoke at Pamela Geller & Robert Spencer’s hate group SIOA’s anti-mosque rally in 2010 (also attended by Morris Sadek) and at their Freedom Rally in 2011. In June 2012, Geller and Spencer held what they variously called AFDI/SIOA Historic Human Rights Townhall or AFDI/SIOA “Summer Night for Human Rights”, and which I called an anti-Muslim hate fest. Joseph Nasrallah and Eric Allen Bell attended this function which included many former Muslim speakers. In her articles, Geller includes a photo of herself and Nasrallah, and a photo of Eric Allen Bell sitting in the audience. He participated with Steve Klein and Gary Cass in an anti-Muslim student outreach effort titled 911 Defend Our Students. Geller said about Nasralla: Joseph Nasralla spoke at our 911 Ground Zero mosque rallies. He is a champion of human rights. SOURCES: – ** - ** – ** – ** – **Source The American Muslim.

Alan Roberts may or may not be a pseudonym. But focus has shifted to Roberts after Nakoula — presumably the same person as Sam Bacile — refused to admit he was the director. Gawker interviewed Eric Moers, hired as a grip and electrician for the Desert Warrior film, who laid out the on-set politics: “Alan was working under Sam, sort of,” he said. “But Alan was directing the movie, there was no question about it.” Both Moers and Dax described the film’s director as a 50ish white male, and a search of IMDB yields one Alan Roberts fitting the billing. According to the site, Roberts has directed nine films, most recently the 1994 B-movie Save Me. VICE has traced the Alan Roberts name to a man named Robert Brownell, whom they say purchased pre-production services related to the Desert Warrior film in 2009 and 2011. According to their records, Robert Brownell also goes by the name Robert Alan Brown, which contains unmistakable similarities to the Alan Roberts identity. But the biggest problem to Moers wasn’t the director’s name, it was his skill: “He was a directorial hack, he didn’t know basic things,” Moer said. His previous films were primarily soft pornography. SOURCES: – ** – **
Other names have been raised in connection with the film, but at this point little is known, including whether or not some names are also pseudonyms. Those names are Alan Roberts (listed as the Director in some documents), Robert Brownell, Robert Alan Brown. And, of course, Terry Jones.
