'Innocence of Muslims' filmmaker sentenced to death in Egypt

[Super Nova]

WTF is going on.

This sort of action by a state is designed to instill fear in the west to close down our freedom of expression rights. I think they do this to send a message that anyone who has a go at Islam is putting their life at risk no matter what society they live in.

This sort of behaviour needs to be addressed some how. I don't know the solution. maybe when the world makes me kind I can fix it then.

Sometimes I feel like creating a web-site really going after Islam and stir the crap out of them but anything that would put my family at risk is not an option. Many people feel the same. So their approach works in silencing our right to take the piss and question Islamic history and the character of their prophet.

They are winning because they are suceedign in controlling our freedom of expression by fear. I think they call that "terrorism".

The Californian man behind the Innocence of Muslims online movie that triggered violence in the Middle East was sentenced to death on Wednesday in absentia in an Egyptian court.

Mark Basseley Youssef was among the seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor sentenced on charges linked to the low-budget, anti-Islam film.

The case was seen as largely symbolic because the defendants, most of whom live in the United States, are all outside Egypt and unlikely to ever serve the sentences.

The charges were brought in September during a wave of public outrage in Egypt over the amateur film, which was produced by Youssef, who lived in Cerritos, California.

Parts of Innocence of Muslims were posted online, and the movie portrays the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud and womaniser.

Egypt's official news agency said the court found the defendants guilty of harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information — charges that carry the death sentence.

Youssef, who also used the alias Nakoula Basseley Nikoula, among other names, was sentenced in a Californian court this month to one year in federal prison for probation violations on a bank-fraud case.

Youssef, 55, admitted he had used several false names in violation of his probation order and obtained a driver's licence under a false name.

Message to Muslims: You are all just as stupid, cowardly and egomaniacal as every other religious fuckwit on the planet.

You get zero respect from me because that is exactly what you deserve.

Come and get me, abdul.
