UPDATE: Now the radical Sudanese Muslim clerics want this poor teacher to be executed for her supposed crime of blasphemy of the moon god allah. These people are so demoniacally possessed they can not be reasoned so much so the government had to move her to a safer place.

Seventh Century Islam is ridiculous for reasons like the following: A British teacher from Sudan is sentenced to 40 lashes for blasphemy because she allowed her students to name their class teddy bear Mohammad for a class project.
Well, I guess this teacher is experiencing Islamic Diversity up close and personal.
My question is, isn’t this mockery of Mohammad? Shouldn’t she be butchered instead? I guess because of the ever changing Holy Koran (say this with a roll on your tongue) one can’t keep up with the latest trends in personal interpretation of this book.
Who would have thought that these Islamists would be so upset over calling a cute, cuddly little bear Mohammad. They sure have no problem calling people, oopps, I mean, infidels, monkeys, pigs, and dogs.
I have to agree, that’s pretty ridiculous.
The obvious conclusion is not that religion makes good people go nuts, but that all belief systems are subject to manipulation by an elitest group who desire to rule others. Belief systems include the athiestic world view by the way. Islam has been able, in the past to appreicate the nuances of avatar involvment in stories. Ali-Baba & forty thieves uses a hero type and the children who hear the story don’t want to grow up to be thieves nor do they worship the Hero. “When I became a man, I put aside childish things”. The childish things are necessary to assimilate many of the complex realities of life.
When the muslim children see the teddy bear they see a champion. He could be used to teach respect or contempt, depending on HOW he is used. No child in the history of Teddy Bears ever mistook it for a GOD or prophet. The religious authorities of Sudan know all of this. The indictment against them is the hypocrisy abusing thier religion by employing it as a pretext to humiliate a Britain, a member of the coalition in Iraq. It is that only and nothing more.
or maybe because this particular religion does make people go nuts and it isn’t possible for them to be rational when this religion is played out as it’s commanded?
I’m going to name my big steaming pile of shit mohammed. Think they’ll like that?
LOL!! I’ll send the death threats to you!
