Innocence of Muslims Filmmaker Arrested, Jailed
sycodon writes "Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man behind the film Innocence of Muslims, has been arrested and jailed in Los Angeles for probation violations. The situation is a win-win for the Obama administration, who can now appear to be punishing the man whose film sparked protests and riots around the world, but at the same time simply enforcing the law, as all evidence indeed suggests Nakoula violated the terms of his probation."
He should be jailed for spreading hate speech, not accessing Internet while being under probation. Free speech is letting others criticize you, so letting stupids like Nakoula insult more than 1.5 billion people has nothing to do with free speech.
Durka Durka! Mohammed Jihad!
It was clear he violated his probation from the beginning.
The beginning of what? What were the terms of his probation? If it's so "clear" why are the terms of his violation sealed from public view?'
It's very important for Muslims across the world to understand that he was NOT arrested and jailed for the CONTENT of that movie
You know who believes that statement? Approximately no-one. Are you SERIOUSLY claiming that had the protestors not claimed that movie was provoking them that he would be in jail, or even in trouble? Lots of other terrible movies are made every day and the producers run free to make more.
He was jailed EXACTLY because of the content of the movie. He is being punished to try and appease the protestors.
You know what other countries are doing by way of thanks? Jailing some guy who ripped up a bible in Egypt. Is this really the road we want to go down?
And the really funny thing is, the howling mobs care not, they continue to protest outside many embassies.

Shut up, Biden. Go back to your coloring books. Obama is going to skate in for 4 more years because people are stupid, not because Romney's an idiot. Obama's an idiot, but no one seems to care because he's throwing money around like a drunken titty bar patron.
It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
As has been accepted by everyone except the fawning liberal press, the embasy attack and the rioting in general had been planned for months to coincide with the annaversery of 9/11.
This is simply putting this guy under a microsocope and finding something, anything, to jail him with. He is a political prisioner. If not alledged parole violation, it would have been spitting on the sidewalk. You can bet this didn't originate with local authorities.
