This man, Abdel Kareem Nabil, is 22 year old. He has been sentenced to 4 years in jail in his native Egypt. His crime? Blogging.
His blog was critical of Islam and its violent tendencies. He now has lost his freedom. To read about it, click here.
Some of what he wrote: "Muslims revealed their true ugly face and appeared to all the world that they are full of brutality, barbarism and inhumanity,"
This was written in response to a 2005 attack on Egyptian Christians by an angry Muslim mob.
Do you surf the net? Do you read blogs? Do you frequent Youtube? Why not search for voices from the world. Voices like Kareem's. They are able to speak out from Egypt, and Iran, and Iraq, and Turkey, and Pakistan, and China, and on and on. We live in an age that allows the oppressed to have a voice. But is anyone listening?
Are you?

Listening, but I try not to think about it much. Ramos and Compean, for example, I did take interest. I wrote letters, signed petitions, etc. Sorry to say, they're still in prison. What good is listening when you're powerless?
Powerless? My friend, from the smallest acorn the mighty oak tree grows!
Wow, what courage!
