Egyptian Justice Minister Says He Would Jail "The Prophet Mohammed" If He Broke the Law, Justice Minister Promptly Fired


From Newsweek:
CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's prime minister sacked Justice Minister Ahmed al-Zend on Sunday after he was criticized for saying he would jail Islam's Prophet Mohammad himself if he broke the law. 
Zend's comments came in a televised interview on Friday. He immediately said "God forgive me," and on Saturday issued an apology in another interview. It was not immediately clear who would replace Zend, a hardliner and outspoken critic of the Muslim Brotherhood. 
"Prime Minister Sherif Ismail issued a decree today to relieve Ahmed al-Zend...of his position," a government statement said, giving no more details.

This explains why secular law is MEANINGLESS in 'certain' societies, and why the idea of religious freedom being IN LAW in those societies is a farce
