Creator of "Innocence of Muslims" Arrested
Man behind anti-Islam film arrested By GREG RISLING LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California man behind a crudely produced anti-Islamic video that has inflamed parts of the Middle East was arrested Thursday for violating terms of his probation, authorities said.  Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, has been on probation for a 2010 federal check fraud conviction that brought a 21-month prison sentence. Under terms of his probation, he was not to use computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer. Nakoula was taken into custody Thursday, said U.S. Attorney's spokesman Thomas Mrozek. A U.S. District Court hearing was scheduled for Nakoula on Thursday afternoon. It was closed to media and the public. Protests have erupted around the Middle East over a 14-minute trailer for the film "Innocence of Muslims" that depicts Prophet Muhammad as a womanizer, religious fraud and child molester. Though the trailer was posted to YouTube in July, the violence didn't break out until Sept. 11 and has spread since. Nakoula, a Christian originally from Egypt, went into hiding after he was identified as the man behind the trailer. The full story about Nakoula and the film still isn't known. The movie was made last year by a man who called himself Sam Bacile. After the violence erupted, a man who identified himself as Bacile called media outlets including The Associated Press, took credit for the film and said it was meant to portray the truth about Muhammad and Islam, which he called a cancer. The next day, the AP determined there was no Bacile and linked the identity to Nakoula, a former gas station owner with a drug conviction and a history of using aliases. Federal authorities later confirmed there was no Bacile and that Nakoula was behind the movie. Before going into hiding, Nakoula acknowledged to the AP he was involved with the film, but said he only worked on logistics and management. A film permit listed Media for Christ, a Los Angeles-area charity run by other Egyptian Christians, as the production company. Most of the film was made at the charity's headquarters. Steve Klein, an insurance agent in Hemet and outspoken Muslim critic, has said he was a consultant and promoter for the film. The trailer still can be found on YouTube. The Obama administration asked Google, YouTube's parent, to take down the video but the company has refused, saying it did not violate its content standards. Meantime, a number of actors and workers on the film have come forward to say they were duped. They say they were hired for a film titled "Desert Warrior" and there was no mention of Islam or Muhammad in the script. Those references were dubbed in after filming was completed. Actress Cindy Lee Garcia has sued to get the trailer taken down, saying she was duped. My personal opinion is that he should of been deported long ago because of his immigration violations. We have enough of our own miscreants. There's no reason to tolerate others coming here and breaking laws. Also I find it offensive that he creates a crappy film under false pretenses and then pretends to be an Israeli Jew. Want to make an anti Mohammed film? Then do it. But don't pretend it's something else and also pretend you are something else. It's gonna be real bad if they deport him back to Egypt. |

Re: Creator of "Innocence of Muslims" Arrested
They're probably saving his life by arresting him.He can sit this out in a prison cell until the Extremists get offended by something else.I just hope no one dies from this inept crappy hate piece.There needs to be transgressive art that takes religion to task and asks the hard questions,but this shitty greenscreen mess is no Theo Van Gogh or Salman Rushdie level art.The actors were duped into what they thought was a film about 'Master George' and the references to Muhammed were dubbed in later.Sooner everyone forgets this sorry rubbish the better.I'm no fan of islam,but this is not the way to have a dialogue about its issues.

His name is out there now and he kind of bit his own shit here. I would hate to be him, but I agree, he's lucky he's arrested.

Re: Creator of "Innocence of Muslims" Arrested
You can't. The movie was only available for public viewing for a few hours and then withdrawn because of lack of interest. No one even showed up to see it. There is only the online trailer which is very crude and disjointed with no understandable plot line. It doesn't even rate as a b grade movie. It's a pathetic attempt by a very unskilled person.
