Kareem Amer is an Egyptian blogger who is being wrongfully imprisoned and

certain aspects of corruption in the Muslim clergy and in the Egyptian government.

## FAQ

  Can I customize this plugin?

Absolutely. Whether you would like to show only Kareem’s photo and the feed
 from
FreeKareem.org, or only a video and the social networking links, or simply an alert
and a count-up of his time in prison, or a “tell a friend” e-mail option to increase
awareness, or anything in between – this plugin allows you to choose whichever you
prefer to show on your sidebar.

  How do I customize it?

After you download and upload the plugin to your WordPress site (see
 “Installation”),
go to “Settings” and proceed to the Free Kareem tab. Tick whatever option you would
like your widget to include, and untick whatever you wish to eliminate. All the 
buttons are ticked by default, but this is just to show you the options before you
begin customizing it depending on your needs.
