There is no "Film" Just a very poorly done Trailer .. The issue is not about a Movie that does not exist.. Look at the sign's and listen to the people protesting... none of them are talking about a Movie..

What the Arab on the street doesn't know is, they are insulting and injuring US citizens as well.

Nit picking point by point proves nothing but willful blindness.

Nakoula pleaded no contest in 2010, was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison and was ordered not to use computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.

When he got out of jail early he was so grateful that out of religious devotion he decided to break that probation by going on Craigslist to find actorf to film scenes for a really poor quality movie that he knew would result in the deaths of Americans and Jews worldwide... and he did this all of his own accord

</sarcasm>

This sure does add up!

Apparently he tried to be anonymous about it, but poorly.

Now that his name and location are known, he is probably fearful for his life.
Purportedly knew he would be putting his life at risk to make the film,
and did it anyway, should he get police protection? (serious
question).

I have some mixed up opinions..

did was not against the law. He hasn't been charged with violating his probation (yet) - he's just like everyone else and deserves the same protection as everyone else.

Even though the return to prison would not have been due to the content of the film, it might be something that could cool things.

As to Koch or Adelson, I don't think so. This was NOT a big money production and it is believable that his family really did fund most of it.

If others such as Geller, Adelson, or Koch were involved, they would know this to.

he will probably die within a few months.

all still hanging on a cross of iron.

I'm sorry that we seem to have a bunch here who think that the film itself is illegal in some way

These two acts are against his probation. Violating probation is not a thing to be taken lightly. I don't dispute that he had a right to make a film (free speech and all)...but I don't think he thought through the whole thing. As they say, you are free to say what you want, but you are not free from suffering any consequences (unintended or not) of that speech.

will not take the time to realize he'd be in jail for violating probation rather than for the movie. These would be the same people who didn't bother to find out that the American government had nothing to do with it so they're already low information folks.

In poor taste, perhaps; inflammatory, absolutely.
about the closest it comes to illegality is the old question of yelling fire in a crowded theater.

all said and done, it's just really sad.
