Egyptian Blogger Disowned by His Family

Michelle reports on some unfortunate developments in the story of jailed Egyptian blogger Kareem Abdul Nabil Suleiman, as detailed at FREEKAREEM.ORG:

The family of Al-Azhar student Abdul Kareem Nabeel Suleiman, accused of “contempt of religion”, has disowned him before his court verdict session on the upcoming Thursday. His father, a retired mathematics teacher, has demanded applying the Sharia [Islamic law] ruling on him by giving him three days to repent, followed by having him killed if he does not announce his repentance. ...

The father of the accused also described the organizations that are working on having his son acquitted as “monkey rights” organizations, in his own words. He also described his son as the “monkey” who has imitated the atheists of the West in their intellectual thinking.

The family also said that they will announce their disownment of their son on the Internet as well.

Apparently, the family doesn't mind using the atheist monkeys' technology when the science set forth in their Holy Quran turns out to be complete bullshit.

My heart goes out to you, Kareem. Would that your courage was more common here in the West.
