UPDATE (9:02 p.m. ET): A federal judge has ordered the man behind a crudely produced anti-Islamic video that inflamed parts of the Middle East to be detained because he is a flight risk.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California man behind a crudely produced anti-Islamic video posted to YouTube that has inflamed parts of the Middle East was arrested for violating terms of his probation, authorities said Thursday.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, was convicted in 2010 for federal check and sentenced to 21 months in prison. Under terms of his probation, he was not allowed to use computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.

Nakoula was arrested after federal probation officials determined he violated the terms of his supervised release, said Thomas Mrozek U.S. Attorney’s spokesman in Los Angeles.

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 “Innocence of Muslims,” which depicts 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, killing dozens.

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 video 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.

The filmmaker has received death threats and was forced into hiding after the 14-minute movie trailer rose to prominence. (Credit: AP)

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.

      I guess we can expect this “black muslim” president, as he was called, to start closing down anti-muslim websites and start monitoring blog-sites? He needs to be stopped, arrested, and jailed for treason against the US Constitution.

      Let’s just ignore the FACT that this guy ripped of people of over $700,000 in an INTERNET bank fraud scheme involving check kiting and other wire service means. He violated the terms of his probation, failed to comply with restitution orders. Terms of his probation included restrictions on his use of the internet (perfectly legal since that was his vehicle for running his fraudulent business).

      I guess you feel he should get a pass in your eyes because his politics agrees with yours. Sorry, doesn’t work that way.

      SimpleTruths is correct. If you READ THE ARTICLE, he wasn’t arrested for the film. He was arrested for a PAROLE VIOLATION. The system worked here. He is not a hero, he is a crook and deserves to be behind bars.
      If he had been arrested for the content of the film, I would be the first in line to protest in his favor .. not the case here.

      You think Obama was somehow behind the Libya attack? Kinda like how he was behind the Aurora, CO movie theater shooting in a ploy to ban guns? Are you out of your mind? Your hatred of Obama is no longer based on any real life events, but rather your own paranoid delusions. And why would Obama will be at fault for any harm that comes to Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who made a film that the convicted felon is entirely responsible for? In what universe does that make any sense? I swear, if you brain dead conspiracy nuts put as much time and effort into understanding current events as you do conjuring up asinine scenarios to further inflate your already distorted world view, you’d be a bit more grounded on this planet.

The OIG (NeoCaliphate) has presented this “secular”Muslim Brotherhood with a mandate to ban anti-Islamic speach at the UN and created this Al-Qaida “Video” to begin the World War with legal Sharia justification. As our President told the world at the UN. The future will not be there for the Slanderers of the “Prophet”. The beginning of the end of Free Speach and the destruction of our Constitution.

    Our government is rife with lawlessness

    Consider also a recent civil (non-criminal) federal court case involving a Democrat appointed judge. In this case, the federal judge and his friends threatened the litigant (the “victim”) with “death” and seized, without any notice or hearing, prohibited him from hiring a lawyer, and essentially into a bizarre civil lockdown. The litigant has been under this civil lockdown order for nearly two years, and is prohibited from having a lawyer, from owning any possessions, from freely traveling, from working, etc… The judge redistributed the litigants property to the judge’s friends.

    http://LawInjustice.com/ has details about this disturbing case and some quotes from the judge:

    THE COURT: “I’m telling you don’t screw with me. You are a fool, a fool, a fool, a fool to screw with a federal judge, and if you don’t understand that, I can make you understand it. I have the force of the Navy, Army, Marines and Navy behind me.”

    THE COURT: “You realize that order is an order of the Court. So any failure to comply with that order is contempt, punishable by lots of dollars, punishable by possible jail, death”

Sharia is oppressing women like they’re property, advocating violence against anyone who exercises free speech or questions Islam, and prescribes death for apostasy. You must have no idea what Sharia is or how serious its implications are to make stupid statements like that. I’m proud that we don’t live in a barbaric oppressive country with a religious-based set of rules that would keep us in the bronze age.

    You may as well arrest me now – I will not shut up and sit down.

    I keep waiting for the knock on my door ( I actually live 2 miles from the local FBI head quarters) and in 2009 when DHS and Pelosi came out with the description of “right wing terrrorists” I turned myself in – they didn’t know what to do with me. I also wrote to the DHS, FBI & DOJ to again turn myself in – and included all the details about me including distiguishing marks….I was trying to save tax dollars by giving them everything they would need to find me.

    I haven’t tried to fly,but I did get my carry permit – so maybe they decided I was harmless. Good on them – though if you are a real enemy to the US, you should fear me….

Egyptian television network AL-NAS broadcast inflammatory excerpts from the trailer on 9/9. While there likely were planned protests for 9/11, the outrage over the movie added fuel to the fire.

      “Someday your liberal talking points is going to drive someone to punch you in the mouth…. It will be the fault of your speach, not the guy who beat you up.”

      Fantasies of violence are the trademark of having no argument. You can’t imagine a scenario where you beat him intellectually so imagining a punch in the face satisfies you…brilliant. By the way, if you’re gonna rant about free speech, at least spell it correctly.

      Nakoula Basseley Nakoula turns out is a real piece of crap. Not for making this crappy film but for violating probation 8 times. A foreign man with a foreign name, in and out of jail for fraud is the kind of thing that would otherwise have blazers foaming at the mouth. You think a guy that violates probation 8 times and is a convicted felon for fraud, an ATM cash thief, is impervious to US law as long as they piss of muslims? That’s not how our country deals with crime and punishment. Civil liberties taken away unconstitutionally? I’d like to hear this one. Explain how making a movie earns you a get-out-of-jail-free card for any and all past crimes.

      No, I don’t imagine he will be punched in the face. I could have said “killed”. The point was reference to how people who are killed because someone created a video. Yet, they arrest the guy who created the video, and then coddle the murderers.

      But that’s what people who try to ‘ban’ free speech will get. More violence will occur, and the the more appeasment to the violent ones. The few that speak out against he violence, locked in chains.

      You have no sense of the irony, of what the poster was asking for…

      In anycase I do agree, that the guy was a criminal. “If” he broke probation/ I.E. if he personally used the internet, while under probation, and blocked form it. I can see him getting in trouble. If he didn’t personally use the internet, but one of the other non-criminal film makers were involved with the upload, then he is innocent. He at least deserves a fair trial (or are the right to a fair trial another right being eroded in this country?)

      But time will tell if they also try to use this to go after other people who practice their free speech.

      Same principle. If piss christ guy was on probation, would they have arrested him for any minor infraction? I put forth that they would do the opposite, and protect him, telling the folks to “grow up” and get a thicker skin.

      I understand he is an American citizen who immigrated from Egypt… Look back to your own past, you probably had at least one ancestor who came over here on a boat or plane, to become an American citizen…

      You can live in your dillusional world if you prefer. But someone who carries the name Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is not exactly one who has assimilated into American society through years of citizenship here. And also, do NOT judge someone you don’t know – my ancestry comes from Great Britian and American Indians (I am a descendent of Pocahontas). I am as American as you can get.

      Rediculous arguement…

      Let’s say he was a white guy named Terry Jones, of some church woho made the video. It would still be an american practicing free speech.

      If this guy is a US citizen, a ‘legal immigrant’ he still has the right to practice free speech. Unless you believe free speech should not be a right? Or that its only a right for ‘some’ americans.

      If that’s the case, I’d stilll have to respectivelly disagree with you.

      Yes A$$wipe I am a descenent of pocahontas. But I’m not using it to win votes in an election like Warren is. If you would like to fly to Dallas I’d be happy to show you my geneology book. My family has kept extraordinary records.
      But for you jerks, who are either liberals or Ron Paul freaks – prety much of the same ilk. Do you really believe the entire country -the USA – should take the blame for this violence and the killing of these 4 innocents? Because your adamant responses to my innocent posts lead me to believe so.

      Wow, what a bunch of asswipes. I invite you to fly to Dallas and I’d be happy to show you my geneology book. How DARE you accuse me of being Elizabeth Warren!!! That was an insult and what I reported you on. I would never use my geneology for politcal purposes as she did. I’m a travel agent not a politician. BUT – for someone to assume I have foreign background which means I have no right to criticize the Islam extremists for hating Americans because the guy who made the film is an Egyptian? Well it’s a weak-ass argument.

      “Azzswipe”

      More personal attacks eh?

      Actually I wasn’t sure, I thought you might be a liberal, considering your bigotry, and non-support for free speech.

      Are you sure you aren’t trolling, and trying to act like the kind of ‘stereotype” ‘racist conservative”, that liberals try to say all “tea partiers’ are?

      Cause frankly we tea partiers are not that way.

      Umm, you said part of your ancestry was british… That means your ancestors came over here on a boat just like many of my ancestors did. I can trace my ancestry to the Sons of Liberty, who fought in the Revolutionary war (or even further back), you can probably do so as well.

      My point is if you go back far enough, we can all trace our heritage to immigrants from foreign countries! Even the native americans originally came from foreign continents, if you trace the history far back enough…

      What is important though is that once we created our nation, immigration was done through legal means. There are laws against illegal immigration, that must be respected.

      But ultimately we (as in legal citizenry) are a melting pot of many nationalities all coming her or living her to be Americans. No hyphens…

      Why are people always screaming, “Haliburton! Haliburton! Haliburton!”

      That’s ancient history. Any relevance to today’s public discourse has long since evaporated.

    “A U.S. District Court hearing was scheduled for Nakoula on Thursday afternoon. It was closed to media and the public.”

    How does the public know he violated his probation if it is closed to them and the media? He could have made the movie and the production company could have done the internet/computer part…

    A blatant example of how our PC Bolshevik government is going to cave into those crazy, barbaric, savage, ignorant, Medieval, intolerant cavemen in the Middle East. Our communist government is arresting this guy for exercising his First Amendment rights. Remember how the commies said “this Freedom of Speech goes too far!” You are NOT to offend Muslims, but it’s okay if they offend you or even kill you. That’s perfectly okay. Our government is our own worst enemy. With friends like all the PC commies in our government, who needs enemies???
