Egyptian authorities on Tuesday ordered the arrest of seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a U.S. pastor for alleged involvement in the production of an anti-Islam video tied to protests across the Middle East and North Africa, the BBC reported.

[b]The seven Egyptians -- one woman and seven men -- and Florida Pastor Terry Jones will be tried by a criminal court on charges of "insulting the Islamic religion, insulting the prophet and inciting sectarian strife," in the "Innocence of Muslims" film made in California, the BBC reported, citing Egypt's public prosecutor.[/b]

The seven Copts to be tried include Elia Basseley, who the prosecutor said is also known as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. The 55-year-old, widely linked to the film, has been interviewed by U.S. federal officers probing possible probation violations. Also named was U.S.-based Morris Sadek, who has said he promoted the film that provoked outrage in the Muslim world.
Jones, who angered Muslims in 2010 by threatening to burn the Quran, also is accused for supporting the film.
The connection of the other five Copts accused in the case, who were not identified, to the film was unclear.

For many Muslims, any depiction of the Prophet Muhammad is blasphemy, let alone one deemed insulting. The crude film portrayed the Prophet as a womanizer, thug and child molester. Clips circulated on the Internet for weeks.[/quote]

I never liked Terry Jones, but I don't know how I should feel about this.

Oh, fuck off.

I [B]really[/B] hate the guy, but you aren't getting him just because he's successfully trying to piss you off.

How about you lot learn some self control, and not react to the [I]tiniest fucking criticism[/I] with intense violence?

Not really Islam, but the influences of Babylonian culture.
