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 the left? All I hear are crickets.
Any bets on what percentage of the protesters are named, oh.....Mohammed?
Do we give AID to these idiots? Hopefully we do so, then we can cut it.
Regards
Why this story doesn’t get more airtime even on Fox is beyond me!
And where is Rosie with the gibberish that Christianity is just as dangerous as islam?
Where is the outrage from the left? All I hear are crickets.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.
Absolutely ridiculous to have a stuffed teddy bear named mohammed.
Now, if it were a stuffed rabid jackal...
In a country so volatile and backward should we expect any less???
Isn’t this the place where they kill people by the thousands ?
Sad, but true.
They should really execute the kids, as they are the one’s that picked the name...
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.
LOL!
If this story isn’t an example of that, I don’t know what is.
I checked DU the other day regarding this...most of them think the entire think is an outrage as well.
More insanity from the Cult of Death.
Meet my PIG. His name is "Mohammed the Pedophile".
He likes to have sex with one of his own little piglets, the one named "Aisha".
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.

Imagine if she named this mohammed.
“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?
The Islamofascists have hijacked one of the world’s greatest religeons. /BS
"...and the worst are full of passionate intensity."
For naming a teddy bear Muhammed?! And people think Americans are intollerant. Good grief.
After all -- what better answer for "what's the big deal?" than this?
and... in Britton, the name Mohammed is now on their top-ten new baby boy name list.
Give their mamas 30 lashes.
"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.
Bite me, you savages.
I recived a “BREAKING NEWS ALERT” from ABC News on this story yesterday.
The same types Bush wants to hand part of Jerusalem over to. It is wicked to sit in the council of such men.
I want the court that sentenced her to be leveled with a MOAB... to be followed by a note promising nuclear retaliation if she is harmed! Islam is either at your throat or under your feet. No doubt about my choice. About a half million Muzzies against one Christian. 'Bout an even swap, I'd say!
Moderate islam is like crop circles; much talked about but rarely seen (or heard).
Sorry, gotta steal your mo-ham-mad 3:16 line...
its that ham-tastic
I’m beginning to fear that this poor teacher may not make it out of that Prison alive.
Join me in praying for her divine protection.
“About a half million Muzzies against one Christian. ‘Bout an even swap, I’d say!”
Actually, there are a fair number of other Christians and Europeans in the area. You’d have to take them out, as well.
“I recived a BREAKING NEWS ALERT from ABC News on this story yesterday.”
Come on, it’s more fun to pretend the MSM is ignoring the story.
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
If you are waiting for an explanation from me on that, you will be waiting for awhile;-)
