As I have noted before, nobody is able to stop Sharia from being institutionalized in Egypt, and now we see it before our eyes…history in the making indeed, do not be on the wrong side of it.

From Salma El Wardany of Bloomberg:

Two Coptic Christian boys were arrested and detained by Egyptian authorities for insulting Islam after accusations they had torn up pages of the Koran.

Nabil Rizk, 10, and Mina Farag, nine, have been held in a juvenile detention facility in Upper Egypt since yesterday pending further investigation, Ishak Ibrahim, head of religious freedom at the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, said by phone today. A resident went to the police station accusing the boys of tearing up papers, included Koranic verses.

The boys have been detained, according to a faxed statement today from the Egyptian prosecutor in the town of Beni Suef.

A Coptic schoolteacher in Sohag was sentenced last month to six years in prison for posting cartoons deemed defamatory to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad on his Facebook account.
More than 18 cases of religious defamation have been filed since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak last year, Ibrahim said.
