Once upon a time I believed that a theocracy was probably the best form of government. This is only one more small example of why that cannot be true. Any form of free speech or criticism that runs counter to the revealed truth cannot be tolerated. Even of correct.
From BBC news:
An Egyptian court has sentenced an internet blogger to four years' prison for insulting Islam and the president....During the five-minute court session the judge said Soliman was guilty and would serve three years for insulting Islam and inciting sedition, and one year for insulting Mr Mubarak.
I can get the inciting sedition (please note - not treason); but even that is questionable. And a FIVE MINUTE court session?
Justice cannot be served in five minutes.
