Egypt: Christian sentenced to 3 years prison for Facebook post comparing Jesus with Muhammad | Creeping Sharia

Egypt: Christian sentenced to 3 years prison for Facebook post comparing Jesus with Muhammad | Creeping Sharia:
Egypt (MNN) — A Coptic Christian in Egypt was recently sentenced to three years in prison for a Facebook post.
The courts ruled the post on social media by Abdo Adel, 43, was blasphemous and convicted him of “insulting Islam in the first degree.”
Adel was first accused of blasphemy in July when his Facebook post compared Jesus with the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
He was arrested and soon afterward, a mob attacked the homes of Coptic Christians. 
Police arrested 90 Muslims in the mob, then released most of them after a “community reconciliation session.”
