Muslim man gets 11 years jail after burning Bible

Muslim man received a harsh
prison sentenced after he burned
the Bible, according to court
proceedings in Egypt.
The Islamic preacher, who is known
in Egypt for his hate speeches
against Coptic Christians, was
sentenced to 11 years in prison for
burning a Bible in front of the U.S.
embassy during a protest against
an anti-Islam movie, last year.
An Egyptian court in Cairo
sentenced Ahmed Abdullah on
Sunday for insulting religion and for
burning of a Bible. He was also
fined 3,000 Egyptian pounds, or
about $430.
Abdullah's son was sentenced to
eight years in prison and a fine of
2,000 Egyptian pounds, or $286 for
his role in the Bible burning.
Abdullah publicly burned the copy
of the Bible as part of a protest
against the anti-Islam movie
"Innocence of Muslims". The movie
was produced in the United States
by a Coptic Christian of Egyptian
origin, and raised anti-American
protests in the Muslim world.
Abdullah also announced that he
planned to send his grandson to
urinate on the Bible.
The decision was a surprise to
many, since the Egyptian courts are
heavily biased towards Islamists.
