ALEXANDRIA, Egypt -- An Egyptian blogger was convicted Thursday and sentenced to four years in prison for insulting Islam, the Prophet Muhammad and Egypt's president, sending a chill through fellow Internet writers who fear a government crackdown.
Abdel Kareem Nabil, a 22-year-old former student at Egypt's Al-Azhar University, an Islamic institution, was a vocal secularist and sharp critic of conservative Muslims in his blog. He also lashed out often at Al-Azhar - the most prominent religious center in Sunni Islam - calling it "the university of terrorism" and accusing it of encouraging extremism.

Nabil, wearing a gray T-shirt and sitting in the defendants pen, gave no reaction and his face remained still as the verdict was read. He made no comment to reporters as he was immediate led outside to a prison truck.
Seconds after he was loaded into the truck and the door closed, an Associated Press reporter heard the sound of a slap from inside the vehicle and a shriek of pain from Nabil.
His lawyer, Ahmed Seif el-Islam, said he would appeal the verdict....

And so to prove they aren't extremist they give him jail time for writing something negative about a school and the president of Egypt.
There are some amazingly terrible crapholes in this world...and most of them seem to be ran by Muslims.
Sadly, this prison term for this writer illustrates the evil of Islam and its many minions...(as if we needed yet another example)
But wait, I thought that America was a facist country that tried to quell minority sentiments... What these people are doing makes us look almost... respectful of humans. I-I could be having a break through!
Yes! I got it! America actually kicks ass! I'm free to say and think as I please!
(If only liberals could see... if only...)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
"sentenced to four years in prison"
My gut feeling tells me he won't live to see the end of his sentence.
Allah was the first born out of a pig's butt, his siblings were piglets.
It's no wonder they worship him, then suiside themselves. Really,
how long could anybody worship a man born from a Pig's butt
before killing themselves. Sheesh, I would.
No human has ever been born that way "since".
Need I say more?
What would it cost to bribe the egyptian sand rats and get that man over here to America?
I'm wondering if he's going to make it to the prison.
But Muzzies are only angry because of Israel /s
I wish we could send Jack Bauer to break him out and bring him here....I like him.
Somebody around here has a tagline paraphrased:
Islam is a religion of peace. And if you disagree, we reserve the right to kill you...
Hope he stays alive.
...sound of a slap from inside the vehicle and a shriek of pain from Nabil.

Just one of many, I am sure. Poor guy.

And Geoge Bush. Don't forget what Murtha told us: If we pulled out of Iraq, al-Qaida would disappear.
And the demon rats are also saying if George Bush had not gotten us involved in Iraq the peace loving Islamic terrorists would not be upset with us!!!
