Telecom mogul Naguib Sawiris posted a picture on twitter several days
ago of Mickey Mouse in a beard and Minnie in a veil, called "Micky and
Minnie after..."
The picture generated a firestorm of criticism, death threats and a
boycott of his companies, according to the AP:
The ultraconservative Islamists, known as Salafis, called the cartoon
posted by Naguib Sawiris on Twitter a mockery of Islam. They launched
an online campaign calling on Muslims in Egypt to boycott Sawiris'
mobile phone company Mobinil. Shares of Mobilnil and Orascom Telecom,
which Sawiris founded, both fell Monday on the Egyptian stock exchange.
