It’s a brittle religion and culture that can’t stand scrutiny and questioning, and has to shut it down by force.
“Coptic Christian YouTuber sentenced to five years in Egypt over faith-based online videos,” by Obianuju Mbah, Christian Today, April 29, 2026:
A man has been sentenced to five years in prison with hard labour in Egypt after posting online videos about Christianity, according to Christian legal advocacy group ADF International.
Augustinos Samaan, a Coptic Christian scholar and content creator with more than 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, was convicted under Egypt’s blasphemy laws for videos defending and explaining the Christian faith.
According to ADF International, Egyptian authorities charged him under Article 98(f) of the Egyptian Penal Code – a provision commonly used in blasphemy-related prosecutions.
He also faced accusations of “misuse of social media” and “contempt of religion,” offences linked to content considered insulting to Islam.
Samaan lodged an appeal on April 24 in an effort to quash the ruling on the grounds that it is a violation of his religious freedom….
ADF International said Samaan was initially detained in October 2025 over videos it described as “largely academic,” many of which sought “to answer common questions about Christianity.”
Some also examined theological and philosophical differences between Christianity and Islam….

Perhaps creating a “Free Egypt from Islam” movement is in order!

I voted for President Trump three times. I think he is a transformative figure. BUT every time he praises any moose slime for ANY reason I think of things like this and I want to yell BULLSHIT at the television. American tax dollars subsidize a government that sends people to prison for “explaining Christianity “. It’s WAY beyond wrong. It is is sick, twisted and perverted. Egypt is no better that the rest of them.

Muhammad has been blaspheming Jesus and killing Christians since the 7th century. 60 million Christians killed by the so-called religion of peace. And they are still killing Christians to this day. Islamophobia is as phony as Islam is. It’s more like Islam has a phobia about anything not Islamic. If Islam is the religion of peace, then why was it spread by the sword?
David Lakatos says
Islam is the religion of murdering Muhammadian jihadist slave traders.
I have been made victorious with terror.”

Muhammad’s One World Religion of Doom.
Wellington says
Islam cannot tolerate freedom but it will use freedom if provided it in free societies in order to destroy it.
Again can be seen that Islam is a giant negative. It provides no good that can’t be found elsewhere and yet puts forward much ill and stupidity that is difficult to find anywhere else.
Conclusion: There is no upside to Islam. None. I challenge anyone to provide me a single example negating my contention here.
