Egypt Arrests More Bloggers

From the article: "The most recently detained blogger, Abdel Kareem Nabil, was detained in Alexandria on 6 November and was charged with disrupting public order, inciting religious hatred and defaming the president. Amnesty International says Mr Amer appeared to have been detained for expressing critical views about Islam and Egypt's al-Azhar religious authorities."

Not everybody follows the religion that freedom is the highest value; not even most Americans do that. Profit is usually held to be a higher value.
