Execute a Teacher For Naming A Teddy Bear?

KHARTOUM, Sudan - Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear “Muhammad.”

The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pickup trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gillian Gibbons, the teacher who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation. She avoided the more serious punishment of 40 lashes.

They massed in central Martyrs Square outside the presidential palace, where hundreds of riot police were deployed. They did not try to stop the rally, which lasted about an hour.

“Shame, shame on the U.K.,” protesters chanted.

They called for Gibbons’ execution, saying, “No tolerance: Execution,” and “Kill her, kill her by firing squad.”

The women’s prison where Gibbons is being held is far from the square.

What in the name of everything holy is wrong with these crazy people in Sudan?  A British teacher working in Sudan allowed a student to name a bear Muhammad, and now everyone is going crazy, they have put her in jail, and there are protesters everywhere with knives, axes, ect, chanting for her execution.  I’m honestly surprised that these morons didn’t beat the child half to death for naming the bear that.  Its  ignorant governments like this that make me glad our military is far superior to theirs, else we might have some crazy rule like this.

I think we should all get teddy bears, stitch the name Muhammad on there, and mail them over to the Sudan government.  If they can protest with guns and knives, we can protest with teddy bears.  I understand the religious significance of Muhammad, and while I am a Christian,   I have all the respect in the world for them to believe how they want.  That right to believe the way they wish does not extend into the possible execution of an INNOCENT, person who allowed a child to name a teddy bear Muhammad.  Its a child! If you are not as outraged as I am by the way Sudan has handled this situation, something is wrong with you.

I say this to you government of Sudan, get over yourselves, show a little understanding.  Would your prophet want you acting like ignorant savages because a child named a teddy bear after him?  I think not.
