During the five-minute court session the judge said Soliman was guilty and would serve three years for insulting Islam and inciting sedition, and one year for insulting Mr Mubarak.

Insanity rules.

The one positive side to this, the bloggers in Egypt have said they won't stop working and won't be intimidated by a fascist government.

It really is said that this has happened to this guy. If it's not the government doing it, then it will be extremists fire bombing a publishers offices. Remember the cartoon?

This thread is just like big news for me.

Thanks for this. Hope this would be a lesson to all.

Have more threads like this.

Like I have said, you can't say enything about Islam
of any kind. it is not permitted.

And what is the reason?? and does this also explain why no islam group
will, or ever has publicly spoke out against radiacal islam?

I think this is shameful. I guess if you talk about it they they will hunt you down. well I think somethings got to change. If people have something to say let them say it. I don't think it should be a church state!

Interesting news. So we should be very careful in blogging concerned with politics which is so complicated. People don't want to get trouble with government.

It's not only muslims that are dangerously insane though, I personally think that all abrahamic scripture followers should be getting mental treatment instead of walking around in the streets, but that's just me.

That is just crazy. It would seem that the government would have more pressing issues that tracking down bloggers...
