Egypt court dismisses lawsuit over Mickey cartoon

None

An Egyptian court has dismissed a lawsuit brought by an ultraconservative Muslim accusing a Christian tycoon of insulting Islam.

 

Telecom and media mogul Naguib Sawiris had angered Muslim hard-liners by relaying on his Twitter account a cartoon of Mickey Mouse in a beard and Minnie in a face veil as a parody about the growing influence of Islamists since Hosni Mubarak's ouster. (AP)
