Title: Mohammed-movie filmmakers sentenced to death in Egypt

QuoteEgyptian Christians sentenced to death for Islam film

(Reuters) - A Cairo court on Wednesday sentenced to death seven Egyptian Christians tried in absentia for participating in an anti-Islam video that was released on the Internet in September and prompted violent protests in Muslim countries.

"The seven accused persons were convicted of insulting the Islamic religion through participating in producing and offering a movie that insults Islam and its prophet," Judge Saif al-Nasr Soliman said.

The low-budget video, produced privately in California, denigrated the Prophet Mohammad and triggered anti-U.S. protests and attacks on Western embassies around the Muslim world.

The convicted persons included Egyptian-American Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, who is currently serving a one-year-jail term in Los Angeles after an American court convicted him of probation violations that stemmed from his role in the movie.

The 13-minute video portrays the Prophet Mohammad as a fool and a sexual deviant, although cast members have said they were misled into appearing in a film they believed was an adventure drama called "Desert Warrior."

Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church did not issue an official comment on the ruling.

"The Church denounced the movie, which it has nothing to do with. As for today's case, it is a court ruling and the Church does not comment on court decisions," said a Church source who asked not to be named.

Christians make up around 10 percent of Egypt's 83 million people and many complain of discrimination in work and treatment.

Remind me of this next time I forget myself and consider muslims to be more than savage animals.

Why does it always have to be death?  Why can't it just a fine or probation or something?

'Community service for all those who insult the Prophet!'

Because muslims are primitive savages.

The Coran does not speak of 'community service'.

I thought the Koran specified that "community service" for Muslims was expanding the Dar-El Islam. :hmm:

Christians don't get this option though.

if you say "qur" that sounds like a word for "fucks" in Hungarian.

Also "halal" means death in Hungarian.

Only backward cultures insist on their shit being spelled/pronounced/written in a foreign language. All self-confident cultures are happy to use English words (when talking about them in English).

That's how you can tell that Burma went from civilised to savage.

The Burma/Myanmar business is quite a bit more interesting than that :

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7013943.stm

A quick summary, it is called Burma in informal situations and Myanmar in books, official documents and so on.
