From Cairo:
A senior Islamic cleric is taking a writer and a culture magazine editor to court for offending Islam after writing a poem comparing God to a “traffic policeman,” a judicial source said Sunday.
Sheikh Youssef Al Badri, of the government Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, together with 18 other plaintiffs, is suing poet Helmy Salem and Ahmed Higazi, the editor-in-chief of the culture publication Al Ibdaa, for “blasphemy” and “offending the divine being.”
Will they call the divine being as a witness, to testify how offended He was?
On the other hand you’d think, as a divine being and all, that maybe He could take care of Himself.
