Arab comedian sentenced to jail for offending Islam.

CAIRO -- 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.

5. I can't imagine a god so wimpy he needs hired thugs to defend him.
Why would they believe in a god who can't seem to take care of himself and needs to be constantly defended?
And all I could think was...

Usually they reserve that line for those evil Christians, normally they don't dare say anything offensive to Allah, because they have to be tolerant.

Can we send them Janeane Garofalo and Bill Maher?

The DUmmies should be happy about this. Their own betters higher up the communist totem pole arranged for the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Egypt (and eventually the rest of the middle east). This is also what they would like to do to conservatives if they could get away with. Rush Limbaugh would be the first one they jailed for thought crimes.

On a side note, liberals are terrified of Levin. They know he has the ability and intelligence to destroy them in court, thus he can freely slander Media Matters and they dare not sue him for fear of discovery in court.
