(Reuters) - A Cairo court on Wednesday sentenced to death seven Egyptian Christians tried in absentia for participating in an anti-Islam video that was released on the Internet in September and prompted violent protests in Muslim countries.

"The seven accused persons were convicted of insulting the Islamic religion through participating in producing and offering a movie that insults Islam and its prophet," Judge Saif al-Nasr Soliman said.

The low-budget video, produced privately in California, denigrated the Prophet Mohammad and triggered anti-U.S. protests and attacks on Western embassies around the Muslim world.

The convicted persons included Egyptian-American Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, who is currently serving a one-year-jail term in Los Angeles after an American court convicted him of probation violations that stemmed from his role in the movie.

Ya think the commander in chief will condemn this? Oops, I forgot. He never condemns his co-religionists when they attack Christians.

Is anything being done to intervene with these people?

Our Lady Help of Christians, please help them.

Still pushing this crap.

“The low-budget video, produced privately in California, denigrated the Prophet Mohammad and triggered anti-U.S. protests and attacks on Western embassies around the Muslim world.”

Those poor actors, who worked on this film because they can’t get anything else, thought this would launch their career. Boy, were they wrong. Advice to all actors, even if you only have one line, demand a complete copy of the script.

Barry and Hillary acted as prosecutors in the case, assisted by Susan Rice.

“According to Egypt Independent, five of the defendants live in the United States, including the film’s creator, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who is currently serving a one-year prison term in California over parole violations stemming from his role in the video. The two others live in Australia and Canada, respectively.”

I wonder if they had a monkey trial for U.S. educated terrorist Morsi here in the U.S., would the media bother reporting it?

There’s a lot of blood on Hillary and Barry’s hands. She’s our own little Lady Macbeth.

We are dealing here with a death cult before our very eyes.
