Giza break judge...

The BBC reports that a young 22 year old Blogger has been sent to jail for 3 years for insulting Islam and the President.

See - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6385849.stm


Personally, this kind of news is about as depressing as it gets really. Some of the best years of his life robbed for nothing.

I take it the judge didn't see the irony (or hypocrisy) in incarcerating a young man who had the audacity to claim that Islam suppressed free speech.


It seems this case has been going on for a while (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kareem_Amer)

And I think anyone who writes a blog, especially one with the temerity of containing anything defamatory about Jack McConnell or Tony Blair, should read this website campaigning for the freedom of this guy. (http://www.freekareem.org/)

Totally agree that the imprisonment of this guys is ridiculous, though disagreeing with what he said. It has though Jeff got no place within Islam. In fact, states like Egypt and Saudi use opportunities like this to express fake religious credentials when the reality is they are anything but. A careful study of the religion shows that there should be freedom of expression.

There are all sorts of political and religious dissidents in Middle East prisoners, many of whom have been tortured and some killed. Kareem's case is just one of the myriad of related problems.
