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.

"Shame, shame on the U.K.," protesters chanted.

The Muslims chant, "PEACE! WE WANT PEACE! And we will have it when we kill everyone who does not bow to us!"

Islam, the religion of morons!

The real insult occurred because naming the bear Mohammed made it into the 14th holiest site in Islam.

Its a capital crime to name a teddy bear "Mohammed." They're deadly serious that being cute is the equivalent of insulting Islam. Where are the liberals, the feminists and the peaceniks in the face of this display of unbridled fanaticism demanding the head of an innocent woman?

Just more mindless, fanatic masses getting themselves in a lather over nothing. This is when I’d love to follow up with a ham sandwich airdrop (or equivalent)

I suspect that if this British women is lashed or somehow killed by a muslim mob that the Sudanese government may find that the SAS is suddenly “busy” in the Sudan.

And the U.S. will send Sudan tens of millions of dollars to support these people. The old definition of insanity comes to mind.

[RGSpincich]

The mussies don’t want to chop up the students and their parents?

The teacher just counted the votes.

These are the rabid Muslims we are supposed to live in peace with??????????? Lock and load!

[Psycho_Bunny]

Muslims profess to love their "God", but act in a manner indicative of their hating every single atom He created.

It seems to me that this gathering would provide a tempting target for a carpet bombing run. We are at war with these people, after all.

The real insult is to the teddy bear.

“Several Imams and Mullahs named Muhammed called for the execution of the teacher because the use of the name Muhammed is sacred and it is blasphemous to use it,” said Baghdad Bob, the new spokesmen for the group, “Muslims for World Peace”. /sarcasm

Instead of extricating her from there right away they chose to offer her up and negotiate, trying to handle this diplomatically. Hope they made the right choice.
