ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) — An Egyptian blogger was convicted Thursday and
sentenced to four years in prison for insulting Islam, the Prophet Muhammad
and Egypt's president, sending a chill through fellow Internet writers who fear
a government crackdown.
Abdel Kareem Nabil, a 22-year-old former student at Egypt's Al-Azhar University,
an Islamic institution, was a vocal secularist and sharp critic of conservative
Muslims in his blog. He also lashed out often at Al-Azhar — the most
prominent religious center in Sunni Islam — calling it "the university of
terrorism" and accusing it of encouraging extremism.
