Twitter4Kareem on November 6
By Curt on Oct 3, 2007 in Twitter4Kareem, Kareem, Egypt
As we mentioned before, we are co-sponsoring a protest on November 6 with FreeKareem. On that date, the Egyptian blogger Kareem will have been unjustly incarcerated for one year, due to communicating his opinions on his blog. There are physical marches and other activities set to coincide with this date. On our end, we are asking everyone to use their Twitter account to talk about Kareem, free speech, imprisoned bloggers and have related conversations for the whole day. We’re offering the badge above that you can download on your blog or site to indicate your belief in free speech for bloggers worldwide and for Kareem in Egypt in particular. (The bluer version is available in our Flickr account in the sidebar.)
When you write about this aspect of the day, please use the tag twitter4kareem.
For more information, please visit FreeKareem.

Kareem, you’re a real young hero. Your bravery is incomparable. It’s not that easy to be surrounded by a bunch of criminals and criticize them straightforwardly in the face. You proved that your word is such a big threat to their terroristic ideology. Your word is proved to be much stronger than the sword Muhammad used to impose his terroristic ideology during his invasions. You have to know that people like you existed since Muhammad first imposed his terror on people, but they were erased from islamic history. Brainwashed Muslims have to know today that they can no longer eradicate opposition because this age is the age of science and technology, it’s no longer the age of backward mythology. The world must be proud of people like you.
