So Terrorists Hate Teddy Bears Now?

Apparently a British woman teaching in Sudan is under arrest for letting her students name a teddy bear that one of the little girls brought into class. The class took a vote on what to name the bear, and they chose Muhammad. Uh oh. Not the M-word! This got the teacher in some hot water, as she apparently can receive a punishment of up to 6 months in jail, 40 lashes, or a huge fine. I think I'll take the fine, thank you very much. You can read the article here. The school is run by Christians and is multi-racial and co-ed, but unfortunately Sudan's population is 50-70% Muslim and only 4-15% Christian. No wonder they didn't like the teacher naming the bear Muhammad....but wait...didn't the kids take a democratic vote on what to name the bear? Oooooohhhhh. I get it now. Maybe it wasn't the fact that they named it Muhammad (which is the most common name in the world, unlike the name McLovin), but the fact that a Western woman gave a group of children (including females, one of which whom the bear belonged to) THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE VIA A DEMOCRATIC VOTE! Gasp! Blasphemy! God forbid the Muslim world allow their citizens an ounce of freedom! How dare they!

You see, these are the kinds of nut jobs that our government keeps letting into our country; where they proceed to form their own little social bubbles, and then bitch and moan and sue the pants off people who don't want them to enact their Sharia law, or who simply offend "the religion of peace" in any way. Yeah, "religion of peace" my ass. Arresting a woman because her students named a teddy bear - a fucking inanimate object - after the prophet Muhammad and then threatening her with jail time and 40 lashes is not characteristic of a "religion of peace." If Islam is the "religion of peace," then the Cross Bronx Expressway is the best highway ever designed. Fuck! Can we please grow some balls and start putting an end to this madness? I have an idea of how to end it, and it starts by pushing a big red button on-board a submarine. Seriously...how many more people have to get royally fucked because they offended Islam?





P.S. Muhammad can fondle my balls! Oops :) Looks like it's 40 lashes for me! Any chance I could just take that fine?
