 Nakoula after his arrest by sheriff's deputies for allegedly violating his probation. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Nakoula's probation bans him from accessing the internet. Nakoula is suspected of violating his probation because an anti-Muslim film created by him appeared on YouTube.
That film, "The Innocence of Muslims" depicts the Islamic prophet Mohammed in a critical manner and sparked outrage in the Muslim world in September. Advocates for Nakoula say the violation is simply a means of punishing him for exercising his free speech in a manner which raised anger in the Muslim world. If convicted, Nakoula could face two years in prison. © 2012, Distributed by NEWS CONSORTIUM. - - - Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer Intentions for January 2013 General Intention: The Faith of Christians.
