This is becoming total BS. A school teacher is being held in prison in a muslim country, the Sudan for allowing her class to name a teddy bear Muhammed. She faces the possibility of a prison term of six months, a fine, or a whipping of up to 40 lashes.And to make matters worse, Britian is falling all over itself to apologize for the offense. Damnation - if a religion is so sensitive and the followers so insecure that they react in such a manner over naming a toy Muhammed which is one of the most popular names in all of the Muslim world, how can we ever expect Muslims to ever live in the real world? The government expects to release the teacher soon even though they found the act an insult. Well - as Steve Martin says - Exxcuuuuse Me!!! Muslims have no problem blastpheming God and Jesus Christ or torturing and murdering anyone who converts to Christianity in their countries. They have no problem calling for the total annihilation of Jews and Israel. They have no problem making fun of our faith but let an innocent act such as naming a teddy bear Muhammed and the whole damn religion goes into hysterics. I am suprised that Khartoum didn't have street riots with signs calling her the teacher's death. You may not think this incident has anything to do with the upcoming election but how our candidates view these things is very important in a world view. Will they join in the apology group or will they stand for freedom of expression and take a stand against extremes of religious intolerance. It does give one pause to think. |
