To all my fellow bloggers, just be happy that you live in a country that allows freedom of expression (or at least it seems so).
Today an Egyptian court sentenced Abdel Kareem Soliman, a blogger, to 4 years of imprisonment for criticizing the country's top Islamic institution, al-Azhar university and President Hosni Mubarak, whom he called a dictator.
He also called the institution "the university of terrorism" and accused it of suppressing free thought.
The university expelled him in 2006 and along with that pressed prosecutors to put him on trial. What's even sillier is that the whole trial lasted only 5 minutes.
So I wonder what would happen to me if we were that strict here, cause I've made fun of Dubya on my blog many a times, and rightfully so.
