Anti-Muslim Movie Maker a Meth Cooker
Source: TDB
Update: The man behind the incendiary film, Innocence of Muslims, has a criminal record that includes a narcotics conviction. According to a source close to the Los Angeles County District Attorneys office, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was arrested by the L.A. Country Sheriff's Department on March 27, 1997 and charged with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced on Nov. 3, 1997 to one year in county jail and three years probation. The D.A.s office said he violated probation on April 8, 2002, and was re-sentenced to another year in county jail.
Nakoula had been registered to vote as a Democrat from 2002-2008, according to the L.A. County Registrar Recorders office. In April of 2008, he changed his political affiliation to American Independent.
Nakoulas identity and involvement in the film was confirmed to the Associated Press by federal law-enforcement officials. Nakoula, who lives near Los Angeles, had claimed to numerous media outlets that the man who created and directed the film was an Israeli real estate developer named Sam Bacile. The Associated Press reported yesterday that Nakoula was a Coptic Christian convicted of federal bank fraud charges in 2010.

In late June, a Los Angeles law enforcement agency was tipped off that an anti-Muslim film called Innocence of Bin Laden was going to be shown at a theater in Hollywood. Law enforcement officers were sent to the Vine Theater on Hollywood Boulevard to make sure nothing went wrong. Whenever you have something like that, people get riled up, said a law enforcement source who didnt want to be identified. You dont know who your audience is going to be.

Abdelmasih spoke at Geller's and Spencer's anti-mosque rally in Manhattan in 2010. The rally was organized to oppose the construction of the Park 51 Islamic center in lower Manhattan, a cause that attracted widespread media attention and led to other high-profile battles against the construction of mosques in the U.S.
"Wake up America!" said Abdelmasih, to a crowd of flag-waving Americans. He said the mosque will be built "over my dead body." Here's video of his addre
Ironically, the crowd at the anti-mosque rally first thought that Abdelmasih and his partner were Muslim "infiltrators trying to disrupt the event," as a letter Abdelmasih sent to Geller and Spencer read. The letter was published on Spencer's Jihad Watch website.
Nasralla Abdelmasih has also worked with Steve Klein, the right-wing Christian extremist who was a consultant on the film. Yesterday, Max Blumenthal reported that "in July 2011, Spencers website, Jihad Watch, promoted a rally Klein organized alongside the anti-Muslim Coptic extremist Joseph Nasrallah to demand the firing of LA County Sheriff Lee Baca, whom they painted as a dupe for Hamas."

yesterday it was thought to be Nakoula, but today I read he was not the organizer/director.
I'm sure the new story is on DU.

I know Terry Jones is a creep, but all the stuff coming out about who this guy is/might be/may have been in a past life/was before abducted by aliens.... (okay, the aliens bit was a little far out) is perplexing to say the least.

(14,173 posts)I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out he was encouraged by Rove and even funded by Citizens United in order to stir up some anti-American hatred in the middle east. The plan being that RoveCo. would foresee Obama's restraint against foaming at the mouth, if-you-aren't-with-us-you're-against-us, and lashing out with new warnings about a Muslim takeover of the USA. So this would somehow create a vacuum for the Mitt the Real American to come riding out on his dancing horse to stake that turf.
But somehow it didn't work out that way
