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.

I may very well make my own version of a similar movie, I have always wanted to make my own film.

Now I will need....

A lot of bacon, access to a dog kennel, a pig farm, thousands of Korans, some thermite.

Islam has absolutely no clue what will be the reaction if millions of people fully armed and with a ton of resources decided to flood the internet with viral anti-islam messages.

And I won’t back down if Obamas goon squads ask me to stop, no way in hell.

Arrested? On what charge? Curious minds would like to know.

Since when has it become illegal to tell the truth about Islam?

Since when has it become a crime to speak out with political incorrectness?

Are we now living in a liberal fascist state?

************************************
The truth about Islam is right here:

Islam, A Religion of Peace:

Sura (2:191-193) - “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.”

Sura (5:33) - “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement”

Sura (8:12) - “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,” Kill any Jew who falls under your power.”

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

There's an excerpt of another article linked below plus a list of probable other reasons for the man being taken into custody.

It's simply too early to begin arguing merits of an undefined as of yet, criminal case, or a potential false arrest charge. Such discussion would only be based upon news articles which were composed of snippets of information given to local news outlets thus far.

However, you can rest assured that the man is represented by more than one attorney, as mentioned in the articles "attorneys," that said attorneys were present in the man's home most of the day, and that his attorneys were also present when their client was taken into custody.

What does that mean? Also who or what entity were you referring to when you wrote "Dear Reader" ?

"His work was the video and now he stands to make millions off of it."

Just curious here, did you see the movie trailer or have you seen the entire movie?

I ask because I have only viewed the trailer which was somewhere around 15 minutes long.

It was the worst thing on video I have ever seen. The trailer was made up of thrown together completely unedited scenes.

The dialogue was poorly written. The scenes had no evidence of any kind of direction, and the actors were awful. The audio was a combination of bad miking, little to no post production work and amateurish over-dubs.

The sets were poorly lit, the camera work was obviously done by an amateur, the costuming was absurd as was the make-up on the so-called actors.

One of those "actors" had on a fake beard that flopped and wiggled loose and jutted out at moments so often that the fake beard itself deserves top billing screen credit plus points before any human involved in the "project" gets paid.

That's my opinion of course, and if your opinion is that the movie version of the trailer is going to earn the man "millions"... okay, then.

"Dear Reader" is Obama. The teleprompter reader.
This is a play on the title of Communist North Korea's "Dear Leader", which Koreans pronounce like 'Dear Reader' as well. :-)

Check this out:

However, Clinton’s attempt to distance the U.S. from “Innocence of Muslims”--and, by extension, its felonious producer--may be complicated by the revelation that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula became a government informant after his 2009 arrest for bank fraud, The Smoking Gun has learned.

“what are we missing?”

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels

Freepers should go the website and comment on this story. Change the hearts and minds of many instead of just commenting here. My comment on the website:

“Seriously? Obama talks up Islam for 4 years and denigrates the United States. Dems brag throughout their convention about killing Osama, a Muslim. Obama tears down leaders that are at least not hostile to United States and encourages those who hate the United States to take power in various Arab countries. Our embassies are attacked on 9/11. And the press and the President expect us to buy the story that a little tiny internet movie which nobody has seen has caused all this mess? Even those who don’t follow the world situation know that there’s something very smelly about this.”

Attorneys Meet With Believed "Innocence of Muslims" Filmmaker in Cerritos

"You are holding his children hostage. Please leave," says attorney
By Olsen Ebright and Jonathan Lloyd

| Friday, Sep 14, 2012 | Updated 9:27 PM PDT

< Snip >

...A federal grand jury indictment in February 2009 charged Nakoula in an alleged bank fraud conspiracy. The indictment accused him and others of fraudulently obtaining the identities and Social Security numbers of bank customers at Wells Fargo and withdrawing $860 from bank branches in Cerritos, Artesia and Norwalk.

Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons confirmed that Nakoula served a year in jail after pleading guilty to possession of meth with the intent to manufacture in 1997...

FSO301, I am not sure I understand your question. What part was not clear or which part do you not understand?

The excerpt of the article I posted from NBC added more information to the story found in the excerpt from the Los Angeles Times article-the excerpt which I had posted as the basis for this thread.

Was there something in the NBC article which made it sound like they were discussing another story?

Just trying to understand what you are asking. Thanks.

...taken in on what grounds?

The police state in action.

An example of why the government at all levels keep passing thousands of laws.

They make certain they can always fabricate a violation of something to charge you with.

Just going through your innocent daily routine is sure to be a violation of some law.

I asked a question. Actually, it was a rhetorical question. The question was what do check kiting, meth making and probation have to do with who created the video?

Remember, there was a middle eastern themed movie this guy was involved with but the movie as created appears to have nothing to do with islam.

What has hussein and hillary upset is a YouTube video someone created from that movie in a manner not unlike the countless Hitler parody video's created out of scenes from the movie The Downfall (German Der Untergang).

The subject video that hussein, hillary, the mainstream media, hollywood, the ACLU and the muslim world are upset about was composed by someone who selectively edited and dubbed from the original movie.

Does this mean that all I have to do is burn down a General Motors dealership to get Roger Moore arrested?

It is hard to believe that I could get the suave, sophisticated Roger Moore confused with the big fat slob, Michael Moore but I managed to do it.

I meant to say that the tendency on the left to legislate subjective hurt feelings can cut both ways. This tendency is especially apparent in efforts by the left to enshrine black hyper-sensitivities, witness the flap over use of the word "niggardly."
