A teddybear named Mo

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Absolutely unbelievable... I'm usually pretty open, interested and nonjudgmental about other cultures and peoples.. but this makes me ill. I don't want to know these people. I don't want to be near them, any more than I would want to be in the midst of Nazis or rub shoulders with members of the Ku Klux Klan, who all believe in their own superiority and think they have a godly right and responsibility to hate people and/or kill people.

Can anyone of any religion who is not bigoted and full of hate actually believe this sh$$te??

the world is crazy..

I know George Bush and the evil satan America will be mentioned in some responses.. this is about neither. This isn't even about religion. This is about individuals who would actually protest for the death of an innocent teacher even if they didn't think the offense was trivial.

Read about this a few days ago on the satirical website, the Daily Mash.

Of course the satire would be lost on these people ...

And as for Mo Johnston, I remember him at a press conference at Celtic Park a few days before, saying Celtic were the only club that he wanted to play for!

How can people change a topic that is obviously about the poor Gillian Gibbons, the british teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear "Muhammad."

They are calling for her to be executed for it.

Like Bobbie, i am very tolerant and think people should be allowed to believe in there religion, but there has to be some common sense as well and tolerance of outsiders within that religion.

I cant go into it to much just now as my friends Muhammad the elephant, Muhammad the tiger, Muhammad the sheep and Muhammad the cow are wanting to go for a drink, so late peeps.

I love my Teddy

On a more serious note - I can only agree with Bobbie and Daftdog.

You would think that they - the protesters - baying for blood - would have far more to concern themselves with -
living in Sudan for a start. Religion - Opium - People .
P.S. love your post bill.

Read in The Mail yesterday that the British government gives Sudan £326million a year in aid.

Can any right-minded person explain why ? ?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

The ironic thing is, some of that money was probably spent on education. Maybe it would have been better spent on educating the adults.

While I agree calling for the teacher to be executed for insulting the prophet is a bit OTT, am I the only one who thinks that maybe she was a bit on the dippy side for not knowing that these people take a dim view of this sort of thing. Surely when she first thought about going to Sudan, a quick peek on the internet would have told her of some of the local customs. We are quite quick to say foreigners should obey our rules when they come here, but complain when Johnny Dago says the same.

[daftdog]

I'm sorry, while i agree with Gizmo's point in general, i don't agree that she is singularly responsible.. The pupils named the bloody thing Mohammad.. so in my humble opinion, the parents are just as responsible for the situation for not teaching their own children that Muslims don't like animals or toys to take the prophets name. Why should a British teacher be solely responsible for this.

Any reasonable human being can see it was a simple mistake.. No children were harmed.. and a lot of the local Muslims saw it as an honest mistake, it was the bloody hard line Muslims that forced it this far and the situation will have harmed efforts to find more teachers for the area..

Maybe its just me, but is it not time the western world just left countries like that to get on with it themselves, as they just seem to take everything they are given, but have not a single ounce of tolerance for the cultures of the western world.

I don't think you have had (correct me if I am wrong), thousands of protesters in the UK calling for the death of any foreigner for any crime or imagined crime done in the UK, no matter how heinous. I suppose the children should be put to death also because after all, they are the ones who ultimately named the teddybear the favorite name.

NO, we just put them up at the tax payers expense in their own private prison suite and allow the Lybian government to pay for Sky tv installation for the whole bloody prison.

Yes Mr Megrahi is suffering in his wee cell not a mile away from my seat.. must be a long day watching your choice of a few hundred channels.. (wonder if he is enjoying the Spurs v Birmingham game)
