Journalists face possible blasphemy charges
Saudi journalist, Nadine Al Bdair, and Editor-in-Chief, Magdy Al Galad, will be summoned for questioning in Egypt on Tuesday, Gulf News has learned, after General Public Prosecutor, Abdul Majeed Mahmoud, ordered the prosecutor of south Cairo to investigate blasphemy charges against the two.
Nadine has been heavily criticised for her recent article in the Egyptian daily Al Masry Al Youm calling for a new edict to allow a woman to marry four men.
In her view, if men and women are equals, they should be given the same privileges.
Many Muslims expressed outrage over the article.
Prosecution lawyer Khalid Fouad Hafez told Gulf News that he had been waiting for two weeks for the Public Prosecutor to hear the case. Since the case was filed, Nadine has been out of the public eye, but a source from Al Hurra TV, her former employer, says she might be in Beirut.
I want to know what the Arab and Muslim members think of this? Are you on her side regarding this right she claims or will you side on Religion.
