The anti-Islam film maker based in Southern California has gone into hiding after his movie that was funded by hundreds of Jewish donors and posted on You Tube by an Egyptian born Christian sparked violence in Libya and Egypt on Tuesday.

Sam Bacile, the writer of the movie in a telephone interview with a local television station, the CBS of Los Angeles has stated that Islam was cancer and the movie was to condemn the religion. The movie sparked overnight violence in Libya in which four U.S  embassy staff members including the ambassador Chris Stevens was killed on Tuesday night.  By Wednesday morning the protests spilled over in Palestine and Tunisia.
