Egyptian blogger jailed for 4 years: Bloggers of the World, Unite!

Abdel Kareem Nabil, a 22 year-old Egyptian blogger, has been jailed for 3 years for criticising religion, and another year for criticising a politician (President Mubarak).

I salute him, acknowledge his courage and conviction (pardon the pun) and wish him the best. I hope that my extra bit of exposure will assist his cause and help to protect him personally. There but for the Grace of Dog go I.

If criticising religion and politicians is evil, then whoever writes for FunkyPix2 is doomed to burn forever... and there's no sign of repentance. Blog on, McDuff...
