Two MECA Members Released in Egypt

Two members of the Canadian group MECA, the Middle East Christian Association, have been released from police custody in Egypt without punishment. They were arrested in August on the charge of making "anti-Islam" statements, which is apparently punishable under the Egyptian interpretation of Sharia.

Hey, wasn't Free Dominion under investigation by the Canadian Human Rights Commission for making "anti-Islam" statements too? Yes, they were. Canada: one step behind Egypt in Sharia-compliance.

Right hand of Egytian Amr Nasr chopped off for picking pockets in the Grand Mosque.

As an aside, the same item mentions that public Beheadings peak this year at 190.

The religious police drive about in cars with darkened windows and if you expose your shapely ankle they will pounce from the car and purify your erotic behaviour with billy clubs.

Quiet, reserved and humble; now I understand. = TG
