<br /><br />
The prosecutor general in Amman charged the 12 with blasphemy, demeaning <a href="http://www.apologeticsindex.org/i07.html">Islam</a> and Muslim feelings, and slandering and insulting the prophet Muhammad in violation of the Jordanian Penal Code. The charges are especially unusual because the alleged violations were not committed on Jordanian soil.]]></description>
