Blogging gets you jail time
Who would of ever thought that you could go to jail for blogging.

Egyptian blogger Abdel Kareem Nabil, 22, was sentenced Thursday to four years in jail for using his Web postings to criticize the Islamic religion, the Prophet Muhammad and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. A spokesperson for the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information said the conviction and sentence "sends a chilling message" to all bloggers in Islamic countries.

It is a very interesting topic.
"Only Nabil was brought to trial....his posts often went beyond criticism of the government to attack..."
I wander if the other people may stop bloging..
