Feds Arrest Producer Of Controversial Anti-Islam Film On Probation Violation Charge

[Rockntractor]

The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for an appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is scheduled for an initial appearance before Judge Christina Snyder, who sentenced him in June 2010 following a bank fraud conviction.

Investigators have not yet provided details about how Nakoula allegedly violated probation, but it seems clear that his involvement in the “Innocence of Muslim” production is central to the government's new charge.

Nakoula (seen above) was sentenced to 21 months in prison to be followed by six months in a halfway house. Upon completion of the custodial term, he was placed on probation for five years.

Goodbye freedom of speech, if this man can be arrested ... on trumped up charges of "violating his probation" ... even if he actually did. We all know *exactly* why he was arrested!

More pandering to Islamism, by you-know-who!

This disgusts me with every fibre of my being!!!!!

Poor scapegoat.

Poor scapegoat.

I agree. He is nothing but a scapegoat. When Romney is elected, he will pardon him, and hopefully throw Holder and obama in jail.

Another set of eyes on this.. he's probably safer in jail than getting in his car that then explodes?

That's a good point.

Just another nail in the coffin that is free speech.

The First Amendment didn't give him the right to violate his probation order. Last week, a group forced the NYC Transit Authority to accept their ads against jihad, and a number of the posters were vandalized. One Muslim activist was caught spraypainting over the ad and was arrested (another rider tried to get between her and the poster and got a bit of paint on herself), and immediately played the free speech card. In both cases, it's bogus. We have the right to speak our minds. We don't have the right to break other laws while doing so. He violated his probation order. If he did so, knowing the consequences, but felt strongly enough about the issue to take them on, then he's a brave man, but he does have to face those consequences.

I turned this film on for about 5 minutes. It was incomprehenisbly stupid.

It just isn't possible that this is what poeple are killing for, it is more likely they are killing for thier imams or high-priesties or what ever they have in Islam.

To play along with this is to encourage this irrational and dangerous (to us) behavior.

Well, it is possible. These islamists are as thinned skinned as they can get.
