Mickey Mouse cartoons a crime in the new Egypt

This is exactly what is coming to America if we do not stop the Islamic invasion. Let this be a lesson to all who believe that the "Arab Spring" will bring peace and democracy to the Middle East. After the Islamists establish themselves as the governments of Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Iraq and the other countries of the Middle East, they will become the launching pad for the furtherance of the global Jihad.

Tweeting a Mickey Mouse cartoon is now a crime in Egypt.

Coptic Christian billionaire, Naguib Sawiris, will face trial for tweeting a cartoon of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in Islamic dress, Reuters reported today.

The liberal politician and media mogul is charged with "contempt for religion" by a Cairo prosecutor for posting the cartoon that outraged Egyptian Islamists last summer.

Sawiris deleted the tweet -- which included the comment: "Mickey and Minnie after", in reference to Islamist popularity in post-revolution Egypt -- and apologized for posting it.

Muslim-Christian tensions have risen since a popular uprising ousted decades-long dictator, Hosni Mubarak, last February. Sawiris' political party, the Free Egyptians Party, garnered between 10-15 percent of the vote in the country's recent parliamentary votes.

Pro-democracy activists rose up last year to fight for rights like free speech.

In October, over two dozen people taking part in a protest for Christian rights were killed when army soldiers and plainclothes thugs cracked down on the demonstration. Some of the protestors were crushed to death by army vehicles.
