A piano player from Turkey is in some big trouble for making some comments about religions through Twitter. He was making some jokes about a religion leader and some Islamic practices. The forty three year old man was originally sentenced a ten month period in prison. The sentence was suspended for five years. If he re-offends in the next five years he will have to serve the sentence. The man says that this is outrageous and he was just speaking his mind and he brings up freedom of speech. He says he'll be fine and not make any other comments about other religions but he isn't very happy about the whole thing.
