A Tunisian convicted of blasphemy for posting cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed online will continue to serve his seven-year jail sentence, an appeals court ruled on Monday. Observers say the case shows Islam's influence in the post-dictatorship age.
Although I don't condone what Jaber Majeri has done, I think 7.5 years is ridiculous!! What sentence would he be given if he raped or murdered someone - 2.5 years??
People should lighten up about this Islam thing...
Remember that exhibition in Paris showing a painting of Jesus Christ with, what appeared to be excrement, thrown all over him? Well, nothing else was said about that, and the person who created it was definitely not jailed.
It's called freedom of expression - live and let live friends!
