Egypt: Christian teacher jailed for blasphemy, showed “disgust for Islam”

Jun 30, 2014 4:17 pm By Robert Spencer

DimyanaAbdelNourDisgusted by the idea that Muslims must wage war against Jews and Christians until they pay a special tax and submit to Muslim hegemony (cf. Qur’an 9:29)? Blasphemer! Disgusted by the idea that Muslim warriors can keep captive infidel women as sex slaves (cf. Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50)? Blasphemer! Disgusted by the idea that a man should beat a women from whom he “fears disobedience” (cf. Qur’an 4:34)? Blasphemer! Disgusted by the idea that Muslims should “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (cf. Qur’an 8:60)? Blasphemer! Disgusted by the idea that Jews and Christians who do not accept Islam are the most vile of created beings (cf. Qur’an 98:6)? Blasphemer!

“Christian teacher jailed for blasphemy,” SAPA, June 30, 2014:

Cairo – An Egyptian appeals court upheld a blasphemy conviction against a Coptic Christian teacher and sentenced her to six months in prison on Sunday, overturning an earlier ruling that only imposed a fine.

Egypt’s state news agency MENA said the appellate court in Luxor ruled that elementary school teacher Dimyana Abdel-Nour had insulted Islam in front of her pupils.

Last year, Abdel-Nour was convicted and ordered to pay a fine of 100 000 Egyptian pounds (about $14 000), but she appealed. MENA reported that the prosecutors also appealed, saying the crime must be punishable by a prison sentence, not only a fine.

Three 10-year-olds had complained to their parents that Abdel-Nour showed disgust for Islam when discussing it in class. Egypt has seen a surge in blasphemy charges in recent years.

    Jailed under Sharia for “showing disgust with Islam?”

    I’ll file that under “The beatings shall continue until morale improves.”

    “Three 10-year-olds had complained to their parents that Abdel-Nour showed disgust for Islam when discussing it in class.”

    Is there any chance that these 10-year-olds were actually reprimanded for poor discipline and took their revenge on the teacher by accusing him of insulting Muslims?

    It is very devious, I know, but it has happened before and I know of at least one case like that. Not so long ago, a Qatari girl was caught cheating on a test and she accused her Nepalese teacher of trying to make a physical contact with her – all to make herself look like a victim and save her face.

    Some Muslim kids seem pretty good at manipulating the system in their favour, especially against their non-Muslim teachers who are usually expatriates and thus helpless against the privilege and arrogance of the natives.

      Like the saying goes, “monkey see, monkey do”.

    I might show a little disgust for Islam myself.
