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.

“Face it, they are just an angry people who need little excuse to kill Westerners, Jews or even their own family members.”

The Sudan government is drumming up the outrage, but the part they are really angry about is conveying to children the idea that voting is a reasonable way to decide anything.

I didn’t accuse them of being stunning intellects. I was just surprised there were more people over there blaming the victim.

I believe the new term for HIV gays should be “Mohammads”

These Muslims need to grow up and stop living in their fantasy world. The way they’re going, they are taking that walk down the Santa Monica Pier to catch the Mother Ship.

Heaven’s Gate away!

Yet they name their violent, illiterate, retarded children Muhammad with no repercussions.

Knowing the insane hatred of muslims, that teacher should have left that country immediately after this issue unfolded. That was the only logical act.

She will eventually be eaten by the islamic alligators if she stays close to their stream. Heck, she won’t even be safe if she returns to England. She might be seen on a train by some muzzie.

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

Tens of millions? Try BILLIONS!!!

US Agency for International Development:

The U.S. Government (USG) is the leading international donor to Sudan and has contributed more than $2.7 billion for humanitarian programs in Sudan and eastern Chad since FY 2004.

Seems the more American taxpayer dollars the gubmint throws at these Islamic countries the crazier their populations become. D.C.’s answer, of course, is just to send more.

I have to admit that I didn’t have the figures at the tip of my fingers when I posted, and I knew that tens of millions was safely within the bounds of correct.

Well, except for the one poster who says it's her fault and she's lucky she isn't beheaded.

She is lucky she hasn't been beheaded. Yet.

She has a 15 day sentence, what's the over/under for when it becomes life? I'm going with 9 days...

As for her fault? I wouldn't go as far as saying fault, but it did require either a willingness to be a martyr, or willful neglect of the realities of life under sharia to go there in the first place.

A du comment; ‘ This is not the Islam that anyone would want to be associated with...these nutbags are about as crazy as the fundies on the right!

Encouragingly though, that comment got smacked pretty hard. Maybe there's hope after all.

And to think people bash Ron Paul for opposing foreign interventionism.

Gee. That doesn't seem bad to me. I hope they don't find out I name each turd loaf 'Muhammad' before I flush it down the toilet.
