Prosecutors agreed to drop the other four allegations under an agreement with Youssef&#8217;s attorneys, which also included more probation.<br \/>\nNone of the violations had to do with the content of &#8220;Innocence of Muslims,&#8221; a film that depicts Mohammad as a religious fraud, pedophile and womanizer.<br \/>\nHowever, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Dugdale argued Youseff&#8217;s lies about his identity have caused harm to others, including the film&#8217;s cast and crew. The movie sparked violence in the Middle East, killing dozens.<br \/>\n&#8220;They had no idea he was a recently released felon,&#8221; Dugdale said Wednesday. &#8220;Had they known that, they might have had second thoughts&#8221; about being part of the film.<br \/>\nYoussef&#8217;s attorney Steven Seiden said his client admits to being the film&#8217;s scriptwriter but had no other involvement except what he described as being a &#8220;cultural adviser.&#8221;<br \/>\nYoussef, 55, was arrested in late September, just weeks after he went into hiding when the deadly violence erupted in the Middle East.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/hostednews\/ap\/article\/ALeqM5i0aKPIse1bbtAHD3LIdkpTfHfw7g?docId=c116e763ff084c0289aa2bd1b519032d\">&#8230;read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There you go folks just a snapshot of how any one of us will be dealt with under this imperial regime!
