Come November 6, it will be two years since an Egyptian student was imprisoned for expressing his opinions in his personal blog. It breaks the heart to think of what he is enduring, which includes physical and psychological abuse and isolation.
A variety of defenders of freedom are getting together in various cities to remind the Egyptian authorities that Kareem is not forgotten. If you can help or just want to be present, please contact the FreeKareem.org campaign. Dignified gatherings are planned for a number of cities around the world. Please take part. If you cannot do that, please write a respectful letter to the Egyptian authorities or donate to his support on the FreeKareem.org site via Paypal, as his extremist father has disowned him and his friends (who are mainly poor students) raise small amounts to pay for his food and clothing while in prison, as the Egyptian state does not do that. (I have donated in the past and am about to send more now.)
Thank you Tom for reminding us. How soon we who enjoy our freedom forget those who do not.
You are a great man Tom! Kareem is still imprisoned because he only wants to be a free and open-minded man. This is a tragedy of the modern world. We can only support that brave and proud guy.
How horrible, that someone would be penalized for expressing his opinions, however strange they might seem to the ‘governing body’ controlling the forum. Of course, Christians are constantly being mocked for bringing their faith to public forums, as this blog evidences. Such is life in Babylon.
What are you talking about, Bob? When does Palmer “mock” Christians for bringing their faith to public forums (not that it’s at all clear what that means)? He takes on people who want to impose their schemes on others, whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or Atheist.
