HEMET (AP) — The Riverside County man, who served as a consultant to the anti-Islamic film that has sparked anti-American demonstrations in the Middle East, says he has received numerous death threats.

The Press-Enterprise reported Saturday that Steven Klein answered the door of his Hemet home Friday with a pistol in his hand and clad only in a pair of white shorts stained with what appeared to be ink spots.

“I’m really tired,” the ex-Marine and Vietnam veteran told the newspaper,

The newspaper said Klein appeared agitated, waving the gun and saying he was standing up for his First Amendment rights in helping with the film.

Klein says he is prepared to die for those rights.

Klein was a script adviser for “Innocence of Muslims,” which mocks the Prophet Mohammad.
