Alleged 'Innocence of Muslims' filmmaker taken in for interviewing by deputies
Los Angeles Times ^ | September 15, 2012

Posted on 09/15/2012 1:08:09 AM PDT by bd476



Just after midnight, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Arab world.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies escorted a man believed to be Nakoula Basseley Nakoula to an awaiting car. The man declined to answer questions on his way out and wore a hat and a towel over his face. He kept his hands in the pocket of a winter coat.

Sheriff's officials could not be reached by The Times, but department spokesman Steve Whitmore told NBC4 that deputies assisting the federal probation department took Nakoula to the sheriff's substation in Cerritos for interviewing.

Authorities waited until most media had left for the day.

Earlier Friday, sheriff’s deputies had to escort attorneys through a scrum of news cameras into Nakoula’s home. This time, authorities only had to avoid a lone photographer for The Times and a few other lingering reporters.

Nakoula has told the Associated Press he was a logistics manager on the "Innocence of Muslims" movie, not the director. He told a Coptic bishop Thursday that he had no role in it, the clergyman told The Times.

Think about it this way - probation is imposed on a convicted criminal in lieu of imprisonment. So, conditions of probation can be very broad, up to and including house arrest. Depending on the initial crime, limits limits on computer/internet use are rather common.

I just heard the best line so far on the distortions by the media and it was said by Jonah Goldberg:

You would think all these ongoing terrorist attacks around the world are distracting from the real story about Romney's statement.

I am still waiting for them to pick up Martin Scorsese for his awful film about Jesus..Last Temptation of Christ.

Also waiting on Ron Howard and Tom Hanks to be brought in for questioning

Would a Super PAC dare create a commercial with Obama narrating “if the political winds change he will stand with the Muslims” along with a pic of him and a pic of a page with that except from his book enlarged? Don’t show it now, show it early October, in a couple of weeks.

Thanks! I just watched it. Her remarks are as clear, concise, cogent, truthful as anything being said today. Unbelievable, for what we are up against not only in this country, but the world. I fear the islamic tide sweeping the globe has swung too far to retract. Dark days are here; no doubt about that.

LA Sheriff: Feds interview Calif. filmmaker

“There are indications that “Innocence of Muslims” may have already been under way as a film project when Nakoula was arrested. A casting call for actors and crew for a film called “Desert Warrior” ran in Backstage magazine, based in Los Angeles and New York, in May and June 2009. The casting call described the film project as a “historical Arabian Desert adventure” and listed a “Sam Bassiel” as producer.

One notice identified “Pharaoh Voice Inc.”as the film’s production company. California state records show Pharaoh Voice was incorporated in September 2007 by a “Youssef M. Basseley.” The principal address for Pharaoh Voice in Hawaiian Gardens, a southern California community, is the same location where Nakoula lived until 2008, according to state records.

During an interview with AP, Nakoula denied that he was Sam Bacile, but acknowledged knowing him.”

As a country we ought to stop all monies sent to Islamic countries and STOP ALL immigration from those same countries. We must stop all money being used to attack us and provide entrance for those who would infiltrate and seek the destruction of this country. Without doing so will insure our demise.

Ok, we all know the real reason is the film, but if he broke the terms of his probation the authorities should ignore it and leave him alone?

Part and parcel of the plan FRiend. Those in power think they have a deal. The American people were not consulted that I’m able to ascertain.
