Popular Egyptian Actor-Comedian Sentenced To 3 Months For Insulting Islam

AP reported Friday that an Egyptian court has sentenced a popular Egyptian film actor and comedian to 3 months in jail and a fine equivalent to $170 for insulting Islam in roles he played in some of his most popular movies.  Adel Imam was found guilty on the basis of his roles in "The Terrorist", "Terrorism and Kabab", and "Morgan Ahmad Morgan." The case against Imam is one of several brought by conservative lawyers in recent months against those they believe have offended Islam.
