‘Guilty’: Egyptian Court Upholds Famed Arab Comedian’s Jail Sentence for…Insulting Islam
We read:
" An Egyptian court on Tuesday upheld a conviction against one of the Arab world’s most famous comedians, sentencing him to jail for offending Islam in some of his most popular films.
The case against Adel Imam and others like it have raised concerns among some Egyptians that ultraconservative Muslims who made gains in recent elections after Hosni Mubarak’s ouster last year are trying to foist their religious views on the entire country.
Critics say the trend threatens to curb Egypt’s vibrant film industry and freedom of speech.
Imam was sentenced to three months in jail and fined around $170 for insulting Islam in roles he played in movies such as “The Terrorist”, in which he acted the role of a wanted terrorist who found refuge with a middle class, moderate family, and the film “Terrorism and Kabab. ”
The actor was also found guilty for his 2007 role in “Morgan Ahmed Morgan,” in which Imam played a corrupt businessman who tries to buy a university diploma. The film included a scene parodying bearded Muslim men wearing traditional Islamic clothing.

ReplyDeleteWell O'bummers dream is now a reality.
ReplyDeleteCults are usually defined as having a living single leader. In the 600s Islam might be considered a cult, just as Christianity would have been considered a Hebrew cult in the early part of the first century. Once that leader dies, and there is a growth large enough the former cult becomes a sect. At a certain membership and denominational threshold the sect becomes its own religion. Simply because Islam practices some arguably barbaric ritual and cultural traditions doesn’t make it a cult. You can have good cults and evil religions.
