Why has this c-grade crudely-produced amateur particular film made by "a nobody" -- "an unknown" -- a non-famous, non-prominent, person -- and posted on the internet for several months been used by Islamic supremacist organizations as the pretext to launch these riots?
Why has the Obama administration fervently explicitly said that these Muslim riots are not a response to any policies of the U.S. government, and that, "of course", these riots are not a response to any policies of the Obama administration, and that these riots were caused by this film, and that these riots were caused solely by this film?

Why has the response by the Obama administration to these Muslim violent riots been to verbally condemn this film, and to verbally condemn the maker of this film, and to say that "Islam is a great religion", and to arrest the maker of this film, and to dramatically stage their arrest of the maker of this film?

And, btw, although the film was crudely made, and although the acting of the film was bad, and although the film is unpleasant, and although the film may feel offensive to some people, the film was factually accurate.
And, in any case:
This country has something called the U.S. Constitution and something called the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- and, therein, something called the freedom of speech.

"Most people think that the book 'Israel Lobby' by Stephen Walt and John J. Mearsheimer was published in 2007 -- at the same time in the US and in Germany, by the way. Well, the first edition of that book was rather published in 1940 -- by leading National Socialist anti-Semitic publicist Prof. Dr. Johann von Leers.

Antisemitism in America - Yale Kills YISSA, by Clemens Heni http://clemensheni.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/yale-kills-yiisa/
"Contrary to fantasies about a powerful 'Israel-Lobby' in the US, antisemitism is very strong among the elites in America."
Seems not. A term of his probation is that he not use computers or access the internet without approval from authorities, so he was apparently questioned about that. These are common parole / probation conditions for those convicted of the sort of crimes Nakoula was.
The real story here, imo, is the fact that once you're in 'the system,' it's quite hard to get out from under. As this demonstrates.
But that can set me off on a whole other rant for a few weeks...
I think that the reason that was given for his being arrested/detained (in handcuffs, at midnight, with news media coverage) is for issues having to do with a relatively minor criminal offense that he committed previous to all of this -- issues which I think may be what JayinPhiladelphia described.
I think that the news media may have already been there, staking out the person's house.

The point is:
O Why did leaders of the Islamic supremacist movement use this (factually accurate) film by this person as the pretext to launch these riots? O Why did the Obama administration respond to these Muslim riots -- and the killing of a U.S. government official by Islamic supremacists -- by apologizing for, and verbally condemning, the practice of freedom of speech? Why did the U.S. Embassy in Cairo respond to these riots -- and the killing of a U.S. government official by Islamic supremacists -- by issuing the statement: "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others" O Why has the Obama administration focused on, and used as a scapegoat, this person who made this film? O Why has the U.S. news mass media not reported essential facts of this series of events but, rather, completely followed the lead of the Obama administration and focused on, and scapegoated, this person who made this film?
