IT’s being reported that an Egyptian blogger has been jailed for four years for insulting Islam and the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on the Internet. One of his article’s described some of the companions of the Muslim prophet Muhammad as “terrorists”, and has likened Mr Mubarak to dictatorial pharaohs who ruled ancient Egypt.
