Sudan protestors: Execute teacher
CNN ^ | 11/30/2007 | CNN

Posted on 11/30/2007 5:45:54 AM PST by Red in Blue PA

KHARTOUM, Sudan (CNN) -- Hundreds of protesters brandishing swords and sticks gathered outside Khartoum's presidential palace Friday to vent their anger against a British teacher jailed for allowing children to name a teddy bear "Mohammed."

About 600 Islamic demonstrators piled out of mosques, chanting: "By soul, by blood, I will fight for the Prophet Mohammad." Some of the protestors demanded the teacher's execution, according to the Associated Press.

The decision by a Sudanese court to jail Gillian Gibbons late Thursday was widely criticized outside of Sudan as too harsh, with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband saying he was "extremely disappointed" the charges were not dismissed.

In leaflets distributed earlier this week by Muslim groups and seen by CNN, the protesters promised a "popular release of anger" at demonstrations called for Friday.

The leaflets condemned Gibbons as an "infidel" and accused her of "the pollution of children's mentality" by her actions.

Where is the outrage from anyone? Where is the enterprising Republican candidate discussing this issue in depth? Where is anyone? Maybe Rush, I don't know, I don't get to listen. I assume Rush is a sane voice here.

I saw the “John 3:16” thing on a truck the other day and thought about what an islamic verse, let’s say, “Mohammed 3:16” would say: “For allah so loved the world that he commanded all his followers to kill everyone in it or, at least, die trying.”

In my paper this morning, this story was on about Page 12 and was also very small.

Absolutely pathetic the way this is being covered.

The left is all about the destruction of the Western Culture and its basis, Christianity.

You shouldn’t expect to hear outrage about something that furthers that cause.

So, should Christians be killing those hispanic families that name their children “Hey Seus”?

Just think of the analog - Mohammed is their leading earthly figure, and any reference to him in word or depiction inspires this infantile culture/religion to lash out violently.

Sadder still is this “religion of peace” nonsense being promulgated by people in our government who are “whistling past the graveyard”. If we don’t wake up soon, we’re lost.

It is a very bad idea to execute all the kids. It was one 7 year old that suggested the name. In the name of Allah, the most merciful and compassionate, only this boy should be beheaded after indescribable torture (and the body drawn and quartered). And then his family should suffer the same fate, but for compassion's sake, the authorities should cane all the family members with 77 lashes before torturing them. Justice, in the name of the most merciful Allah. Inshallah!

“Absolutely pathetic the way this is being covered.”

She’s a BRITISH citizen. It IS all front page over there. If she were an American citizen, it would be all front page here.

That said, in my liberal rag (circ. about 100,000) the story is highlighted in a box on the front page and the full story is inside, so it did make the front page in a way.

It was also one of the headline stories on liberal NPR this morning.

It’s the lead story online right now at the Clinton News Network, CBS, ABC, and FOX.

What else is it that you want?

Killing in the name of Mohammed? A-okay. Naming a teddy bear 'Mohammed'? Not so good.

Aside from any (faux) outrage from Rosie and the lamestream press, what I want to know is, where is the condemnation of this injustice from so-called “moderate” Muslims? I keep hearing that they’re out there. I’ve even heard it said that they compromise the majority of adherents to Islam. If so, why aren’t they speaking out or at least trying to persuade their brother Muslims in a more public way to show restraint and tolerance and compassion for this British subject who is obviously innocent of any wrongdoing? Could it be that those things are foreign to their religion, or at least to them? I suspect so.

They should probably immediately execute themselves - every single person participating in that demonstration that chanted:

"By soul, by blood, I will fight for the Prophet Mohammad."

If that was indeed the chant, then I believe they have insulted their prophet. As I understand it, any time they refer to the prophet - eg. by the name Mohammad - they are to praise him. So they should have chanted "...Mohammad. All praise and honor be upon him." Or something similar. Since they have given offense to their religion, in their own narrow scope, they should immediately fall on their swords. ... We're waiting. ... Still.

It is REALLY a great shame that POTUS the peanut cancelled the neutron bomb project, for here would be a perfect target.
Wipe the “people” (I use the term loosely) out and then start over.

Actually, there are a fair number of other Christians and Europeans in the area. You’d have to take them out, as well.

I think we are over looking a conflict of cultures that is the most important. This Teacher was trying to prove to herself and the world that Islam is supposedly a religion of peace. I found it incredible that this teacher had to explain to these backward children the concept of democracy and the process of voting.

Didn’t a audio tape of Bin (Shit Head) Laden surface decrying capitalism and democracy? Since Democracy promotes free thought and individualism and the islamic world can’t function in such a world.

So maybe this was about her trying plant the seeds of democracy into this young children’s minds (God knows it pointless to teach it to their parents) and the naming the teddy bear was a good enough reason (for the islamist) to remove her from influencing young children’s minds any further

A teddy bear is enough to get them whipped up in a murderous fury. Oh yeah - then there's cartoons and after that, it was my tagline. The Religion Of Peace takes very little to send it on a violent rampage.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
