Still remember standing in the middle of the Blue Mosque basking in the grandeur of it all. Totally life-altering for me.

CHRISTIAN MAN JAILED FOR SIX YEARS IN EGYPT FOR “INSULTING” MUHAMMAD
Defamation of Religion is considered a misdemeanour under Egyptian law, punishable by a prison sentence of one month to three years.
Makram Diab, a school secretary, was accused on 23 February of insulting Muhammad, almost two weeks after a heated discussion with a Salafi teacher at the school where they worked. The complaint was made by another teacher, who was not present during the dispute, and signed by another 11 teachers. Muslim staff at the school went on strike until Diab was arrested and prosecuted.
According to the official court version, Diab allegedly said that Muhammad had sexually harassed his disciples, but the defendant’s sister said that he had simply asked the Muslim teacher whether it was true that Muhammad had married 40 wives.
An appeal has been lodged on Diab’s behalf and will be heard on 15 March. He is being held in the high security section of the Assuit prison.
