The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Last November, an Egyptian atheist blogger, Hesham Fouad Ahmed aka Hesham El Masry, was arrested by authorities and was allegedly charged with insulting Islam. On October 30th, Hesham joined a debate hosted by Bassem Sam against an Imam, Ahmed Karima. The discussion was broadcasted live on Youtube. Both parties gave each other a chance to talk at the start of the discussion. Unfortunately, the debate quickly turned heated, with Sheikh Karima yelling at Hesham to "Stop!" A week after the discussion, Karima appeared in a video accusing Ahmed of disrespecting Islam. According to The Secular Underground Network, Karima used his "connections to press national security to apprehend" Hesham. Karima also urged the Public Prosecutors in Egypt to arrest Hesham and charge him with disrespecting Islam and to block his channel in Egypt. According to Sarah Leah Whitson, the Middle East and North Africa director of the Human Rights Watch, "Atheists are one of Egypt's least-protected minorities, although the constitution ostensibly guarantees freedom of belief and expression."
