The California man behind an anti-Islam video that sparked global protests has been sentenced to a year in prison. On Wednesday, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was ordered to spend 12 months behind bars for violating the terms of his probation from a prior conviction. Following a 2010 check fraud conviction, Nakoula was forbidden from using computers or the Internet without permission from his probation officer. Under the alias of Sam Bacile, Nakoula produced “The Innocence of Muslims,” which provoked outrage in Muslim countries after it was circulated online.
