Man behind anti-Islam film gets 1 year jail term

Egyptian-born man who produced "Innocence of Muslims" video that sparked anti-US protests worldwide sentenced to prison.

LOS ANGELES - The California man behind a crude anti-Islam film that stoked protests against the United States across the Muslim world was sent back to jail for a year on Wednesday over probation violations stemming from his role in the video.

The Egyptian-born Coptic Christian, who has been publicly identified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, but whose legal name is Mark Basseley Youssef, admitted to several probation violations during a hearing in US District Court in Los Angeles.

At least one violation involved his use of an alias, Sam Bacile, a name that several actors from the film said he used in producing the video, which was circulated on line under several titles, including "The Innocence of Muslims."

The 13-minute clip attributed to Youssef, 55, portrays the Prophet Mohammad as a fool and a sexual deviant, although cast members have said they were misled into appearing in a film they believed was an adventure drama called "Desert Warrior."

The film touched off a torrent of anti-American unrest in Arab and Muslim countries. The start of the violence on Sept. 11 coincided with an attack on US diplomatic facilities in the Libyan city of Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya. US and other foreign embassies were also stormed in various cities across the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

Youssef, who had been on probation following his release from jail on a bank fraud conviction, was taken into custody in September over probation issues and has been held without bond at a Los Angeles federal detention center.

Prosecutors said Youssef violated the terms of his release from prison in June by using aliases, fraudulently obtaining a California driver's license under an assumed name and lying to probation officers by falsely claiming his only involvement with the anti-Islam film was as a script writer.

In court on Wednesday, he admitted to four violations and four others were dismissed. In addition to being sent back to jail for a year, Youssef was ordered to be placed on four years of supervised released once he gets out.

I'm going to balance my income with my taxes and donations so that I have 0 taxes to pay... my donations will include mostly the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and a few other favorite charities... I would rather give my money to groups I know can use it better than some crack smoking slobs who refuse to work for a living...

Rubio would have been a much smarter pick for VP... Mitt lost by 3 million votes, there are 11 million Hispanics who voted, and 7.7 million of them voted for ovomit... with Rubio and his brilliant manner of speaking, he could have swung the election...

Please tell us how to do that?

With pending tax law changes this may no longer work post-2012, however you can recognize about $85k of capital gains since 2008 at zero percent federal taxes if ordinary income is kept low. Get your copy of last year's tax program and run the numbers. I've done this for 2 or 3 years since 2008. Unfortunately it does not work for state taxes if you live in a state with income taxes.
