"Arab Spring" Egypt: Atheist gets three years prison for blasphemy

He made "statements critical of Islam and Christianity," but it is highly doubtful that he would have been prosecuted for the latter. Free Speech Death Watch Update from Brave New Democratic "Arab Spring" Egypt: "Cairo Court Sentences Man to 3 Years for Insulting Religion," by David D. Kirkpatrick in the New York Times, December 12 (thanks to Block Ness):

CAIRO — A Cairo court sentenced an atheist from a Christian family on Wednesday to three years in prison for insulting religion, firing up fears about the future of freedom of expression here just as Egyptians prepare to vote on an Islamist-backed draft constitution denounced by secular groups as failing to protect such rights.

The convicted man, Albert Saber, is expected to be released on bail of about $167 pending an appeal. An open and avowed atheist, Mr. Saber, 27, was initially accused of circulating links to an offensive online video lampooning the Prophet Muhammad that set off protests across the Muslim world in September. Mr. Saber has denied promoting the video, and he is being charged for other statements critical of Islam and Christianity that police investigators found on his computer. Open profession of atheism is almost unheard-of in Egypt and is widely considered an affront to society as a whole.

Although blasphemy was a criminal offense under former President Hosni Mubarak before Egypt’s revolution as well, Mr. Saber’s case has raised special alarm because it comes against the backdrop of the sometimes violent battle over Egypt’s draft constitution, which elevates the crime of insulting religion to the level of the charter itself....

Islam is crime against humanity that is so bad that it must be enforced by a prison sentence, if you are lucky, or a death sentence.

The sadist Allah (e.g. Q.10:4, 6:70, 5:38, 5:33, 24:2,4,13 "… lash each one of them with a hundred lashes" ... also for married one-day-old infant girls 65:4) hates Christians & freedom of speech:

Q. 5:73 "They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity (God of Christians): for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them."

Where's Richard Dawkins when you need him? I'd like to see him try to find a way to get rid of Islamism, at least...

Make foreign aid to Egypt contingent on honoring the treaty with Israel, and on guaranteeing freedom of religion, speech, and assembly. Shouldn't this be pretty basic stuff?

Soon to be the new theme song of Sharia compliant Egypt? >>

Islam must never be criticized

The prophet Mohamburger is our man
The prophet Mohamburger is our man
If you disobey we kill you!
If you disobey we kill you!

And on and on i'm sure you get the basic gist of it..

Even though the "holy Qur'an" and the other "sacred texts" of the "perfect religion of peace" constantly drill into the grey matter of the thoroughly cultic Mohammedan mind that the beliefs of all other religions are flawed and essentially irrelevant, Islam demands that we non-believers respect and submit to its dominance?!

No thanks boys! No deal. We'll pass. Decline.

We ex-Muslims living with Islam's formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islam is a disgusting fraud.

Ex-Muslim Ali Sina's ongoing challenge to Muslims can be found over at Faith Freedom.org:

The Challenge

I receive many emails from angry Muslims, who sometimes beg me, and sometimes order me to remove this site. I consider both, pleading and bullying, signs of psychopathology. Argumentum ad baculum and argumentum ad misericordiam are both logical fallacies.

If you do not like this site and want me to remove it, instead of acting as a bully or as a victim, disprove my charges against Muhammad logically. Not only will I remove the site, I will publicly announce that Islam is a true religion. I will also pay

$50,000 U.S. dollars

to anyone who can disprove the following accusations that I have made against Muhammad. I accuse Muhammad of being:

a narcissist
a misogynist
a rapist
a pedophile
a lecher
a torturer
a mass murderer
a cult leader
an assassin
a terrorist
a madman
a looter

...These charges are irrefutable. You simply can’t disprove them because they are reported in Islamic sources and as such they are as good as confession...

http://www.faithfreedom.org/the-challenge/the-challenge/

He's a lucky they didn't lay Q 5:33 punishment on him as well, for 'warring with Allah' and spreading mischief in the land...Of course the sharia authorities have three years to mull it over, and can charge him with it at any time...

He is lucky he does not live in Saudi or Syria … his punishment would NOT be, just three years of prison … it would be beheading or at least, a knife stab or two by the devout Muslims …

I feel my children won the biggest Lotto on earth when they were born here In America instead of Syria ..

Some times, I picture them born there and driven by the madness in Syria just like all the young boys in the streets right now … and it burns a hole in my mind !!!

I still can NOT get the image of the 12 year old cutting head of a man

Pure Savagery !!!

@SaleemSmith,

50,000 $ is surely tempting! yet i cant take up your chcllenge that being beyond my [or anyone else's] skill sets.Rather i would've preferred to disprove simple things like

1.The Sun rises in the East
2.The world is round.

I'm hoping your family in Syria are safe...

I once convinced a cute waitress in a bar that an astronaut orbiting Earth reported that it was flat and water was running off the edges...She was amazed...

Folks: what is very noteworthy here is the amount of the bail. That is a lot on money there as thought they imposed 1.7 million$$$ bail on someone here. What this show is that Egypt is a shithole where most people live on a $ a day and that one $ BTW is our federal tax $$$$

"..accused of circulating links to an offensive online video lampooning the Prophet Muhammad.."

What we, who still live in a Free World, should do, is keep circulating links to this "offensive-but-true" online video lampooning the Self-Proclaimed-Prophet Muhammad.

"He is lucky he does not live in Saudi or Syria … his punishment would NOT be, just three years of prison"---

He should thank those modern, moderate egyptians.

@Swamiji,

My point is, in the whole of History you cant find a scumbag like 'Mo',with so many nauseating character traits which is proven beyond doubt.

Regarding your reply,i hate to think of what happened next in that episode.
Out of pure jealousy,of course!

Oh duh …

It is difficult to know who is still alive …

Electricity has been gone in Aleppo for the last 10 days … phones are off

We are in the dark about almost everyone …

Some Information are getting through Turkey through relatives who live in Turkey … as you know Aleppo is only short drive from the border and it is not secured as before

A brother in low of my cousin was killed in the streets while he was helping the wounded … he was a good doctor as I heard .. he helped many but all that stopped, now he is dead ..

I also heard that there is no bread because flour is cut off to starve people for submission .. so women are now baking bread by hand over wood fire ..

Fridges have been off, so every last frozen food have been spoiled and now there is no reserved food could be useful … the last time we talked to my sister in low, 15 days ago… they told us they eat olives and pickle salad and Jam .. they can not stand it anymore with cold weather,and no heat they are leaving to Egypt soon now that airport is opened again …

Mass starvation is expected … No end in sight

Thank you for asking
