LA police investigate maker of anti-Islam film
In other words, they're enforcing sharia in America. Here's the news (via Big Government). He may have committed some financial fraud, something I'm sure plenty of other people in showbiz have done as well, but that and the film he made are peanuts compared to the destruction and death that were allegedly carried out over the film. In reality, it appears that all the chaos was really in revenge for killing an al Qaeda leader:
