I was not surprised when some security bureaus announced that one of those who executed the recent Sinai Peninsula bombings was an Al-Azhar University student from the Faculty of The Fundamentals of Religion. I am well aware that this university is one of Egypt's important producers of terrorism through its academic curricula, with which it strongly fills students' minds, and so turns them into human monsters that do not hesitate to harm whoever announces his disagreement with them. This is because their curricula have taught them in all simplicity that those who differ from them do not have a place in this life....
Al-Azhar University does not move a muscle when one of its students blows himself up, or heads off to kill the defenseless innocents. Yet, it raises hell when one of its students has an independent, bold, and free opinion!

The article was from May 2006. What has happened to him? Is he still jailed, or was he executed for “insulting Islam”?
Funny, how Amnesty International doesn’t get involved with cases like this.
I found a couple of more blogs from him..

Definitely, interesting reading, unfortunately it is at the expense of this man. It certainly makes me appreciate our country even more.
He received a 3 or a 4 year sentence

(this post interested me, so I ended up doing some google searches on him).
In the end, I pity these students, for what they have become, and for what will eventually be their fate and the fate of their country if this hate continues unchecked and uncontained.
My own religious beliefs teach me that the Shepherds are responsible for their Flocks.
The Imams of Islam are headed for Hell.
Though we give egypt billions in aid each year they are not our friend.
The govt. of egypt is abysmal.
Egypt would join ANY war against Israel in a heartbeat.
Everytime stories like Kareem’s surface, it makes me appreciate the freedoms that we have here even more. Of course, it does make me less tolerant of the Lefties who don’t appreciate what they have here. Constant struggle.
3-4 years is lenient. I was sure he’d get death. Thank God he’s still around. Maybe he could be freed from Egypt.
