Egyptian writer to face trial for insulting Islam
[ARABNEWS] Egypt's prosecutor has referred a female writer to trial for allegedly insulting Islam by criticizing the slaughter of animals during a major religious festival, a judicial official said on Saturday."Happy massacre," Fatima Naoot wrote on her Facebook page in October during Eid Al-Adha. Animals are slaughtered during Eid to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to fulfil God's command to sacrifice his own son, although in the end God provided him with a sheep.
