Egyptian Blogger Jailed For Insulting Islam

An Egyptian court has sentenced a blogger to four years' prison for insulting Islam and the president.

Abdel Kareem Soliman's trial was the first time that a blogger had been prosecuted in Egypt.

He had used his web log to criticise the country's top Islamic institution, al-Azhar university and President Hosni Mubarak, whom he called a dictator.

Jeez, it's almost like Islamic law makes it a crime to insult Islam or something.

I wonder where they got that idea from?

Then evil was the end of those who did evil, because they rejected the communications of Allah and used to mock them. (Qu'ran; 30:10)
