Another Arab Spring Triumph - Egyptian actor sentenced to prison for "insulting Islam"

The sentence Wednesday evening came weeks after Islamists swept most seats in a parliamentary election. The case was brought by Asran Mansour, a lawyer with ties to Islamist groups, and had languished in court for months, judicial sources said.

Mansour accused the actor of offending Islam and its symbols, including beards and the Jilbab, a loose-fitting garment worn by some Muslims, the Egyptian news portal Ahramonline reported.



Does anyone remember that attention-seeking airhead who wanted to bring an Arab Spring to Canada? She should consider going to Egypt to experience the real thing.
