LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday ordered the man behind a crudely produced anti-Islamic video that inflamed parts of the Middle East to be detained because he is a flight risk.

U.S. Central District Chief Magistrate Judge Suzanne Segal ordered Nakoula Basseley Nakoula held after authorities said he violated terms of his probation.

Nakoula, 55, was convicted in 2010 for federal check and sentenced to 21 months in prison. Under terms of his probation, he was not allowed to use computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.

Nakoula was arrested after federal probation officials determined he violated the terms of his supervised release, Thomas Mrozek, a U.S. Attorney's spokesman in Los Angeles, said Thursday.

Protests have erupted around the Middle East over a 14-minute trailer for "Innocence of Muslims," which depicts Muhammad as a womanizer, religious fraud and child molester. Though the trailer was posted to YouTube in July, the violence didn't break out until Sept. 11 and has spread since, killing dozens.

Nakoula, a Christian originally from Egypt, went into hiding after he was identified as the man behind the trailer.

The full story about Nakoula and the video still isn't known.

“I am not Barack Obama, and I approved this message.

My fellow American's. I know that many of you are dismayed with this unemployment report. Make no mistake.....I, too, feel your pain....Trust me on this....For change is on the way.

What I am proposing to do is extraordinary....no one has tried this before.

The answer to our unemployment problem is for us to hire 10,000 mathematicians and accountants. These math experts will be specially trained by our CBO in the method known as "Fuzzy Math Keeping."

By taking real facts and figures and then twisting them to suit our political purposes, we can solve the problem of our economy continuing to go into the tank. Besides, the American people, as well as our liberal media, are entirely clueless and easily misled...There will be no complaining in the mainstream media....just singing the praises of our actions instead!

Remember, my friends, follow the Democratic Gameplan

Vote Early...Vote Often.”

If Obama is the answer, I don't want to hear the question.

The violence in the Middle East has nothing to do with a 15 minute u-tube trailer and everything to do with anti-American hatred throughout the region.

The American government has jailed this man because of his representation of Mohammad and the Muslim faith. Pure and simple, he is now a political prisoner of the Obama regime.

The US Government jails those who criticize Islam and pays those who puts a caricature of Jesus in a jar of urine and calls it "art".

I doubt there's anything that could be done that would cause the average citizen to be surprised.

What? I can no longer call my family or eat pork? Well, I don't want to be racist, so I better just keep my mouth shut and go along.

Just being very sarcastic.

The guy was a crimal already, not an amrecican and from what I've seen did this just for the sole purpose of sturing up trouble.

I my opinion he should be held as an accessory for enciting the riot that killed American.
