A foolish question was asked earlier by Mark623112:
Do you think the term "Racist" is over-used?

Actually racism is overly used by people who are not even aware they are racist. You don't have to say slurs just to be racist. This is the new manifestation of racism, in the same vein as Bill O'Really. He claims not to be one but holds bigotted views of colored people and SAYS THEM IN PUBLIC.
Sorry Mark, you just don't get it and just want to justify your views, which I am sory to tell you are racist. A lot of these questions spring from racist, imperialist, orientalist ideas that sadly many conservatives have.

Why?

It is a bit unfair as the muslim children named the bear and not the teacher. The children will love the teddy bear so what is wrong with calling it Mohammed. I am christian and I dont understand much about muslims, but she isnt muslim so why should she be punished. You name children Mohammed and parents love there children and they will love the teddy.
I think it is stupid as a lot of other religion will think the women has been treated very unfairly and this could make some people have a hatred view on muslims. Therefore I think this is blown out of preportion.

seems everyone's talking about teddygate on here today, so has this case made people even more hostile to beliefs of muslims?

How come in the Sudan you get 15 days prison for calling a cuddly toy 'Mohammed', but in Portugal you get away with serial child neglect and get given a £million for calling a cuddly toy 'Cuddle Cat' ?

How quickly will he be out probably do about nine years after good behaviour and all the other little things that seem to reduce their sentances, I think he should take the 40 lashes from the teacher in Sudan...and maybe add a few noughts on to the end..yep I think thats about right

Let the kids vote on a teddy bear name. They voted on Mohammad this angered the muslim clerics and she is going to get 40 lashes which is the same as a death sentence.
If she lives she has to spend 6 months in jail with these catastrophe injurys from the whipping which should finish her off. Yet, she is a really good school teacher who is not against muslims. So why are they doing that?
Isn't that going to make people not like muslims?
Don't violate me, we have freedom of speech and it is in the yahoo.com news for today I saw it and read the story.

Last night a black janitor spilled his dirty bucket of water on my office floor getting it on my very expensive shoes and on my suite jacket which was hanging over a chair. I said "what the hell?" and he said dont worry sir, I will shine that right up for you." I was angry so I said, "yeah, cuz you are a shine" as I left for the night. What can happen to me? He works for the building.

Only evidence they have is the killing of one Danish newspaper editor and even that is flimsy (one person already executed for that crime) and that he is involved in the deportation of some danish jews. Do you think this is justified, should he be tried ? or is it time to move on, views from both sides please

Anyone out there have small children under 10? Here`s a scenario :
Your kid has had a drawing and painting class today,
what pictures do you except him/her to bring home and show you ?

Pictures of the sun, sky, trees, fields, flowers, kids playing,
match stick cats n dogs….the innocent things innocent kids
see every day right?

Ok imagine the pictures a Palestinian kid brings home from
school after his/hers day painting ? Pictures of building reduced
to rubble, the trail of helicopter fire, bullets raining down on the
houses and courtyards, blood on the streets, people carrying
coffins down the main road, these are the mental images of
innocent kids aged 10 or under who have seen their mothers
fathers sisters brothers butchered by incoming fire.

This is to all the people who think muslims send their kids
to be suicide bombers….the children who have seen these
atrocities draw what they see: At 10 years of age, they are
filled with hate and prejudice towards their occupiers, they
are asked and they agree to be suicide bombers to avenge
the killing of their mothers and fathers.

I have 2 children under 5, they are totally innocent, they
have to be shielded from the above, shame on everyone
who thinks muslims send their kids to be suicide bombers,
shame on you for letting this happen. A whole generation
of innocent children have warped images in their head.
Look at your kids tonight, is that what you want for your
innocent under 10? I will spare you the link where these
portraits are google them for yourself

Shame on you

Putting someone like that to death would that be beneficial to the people that have suffered because of him. Do you think he even fears death? Probably not, so what would be the best way to deal with him and what do you think the US will ultimately do when they do find him?

Most of his supporters that I know are Italian and it is that Italian thing. OK. I understand ethnic loyalty. But what does he have to offer?

I can't see him taking on Putin except in a brawl and as Guilianai walked out to the alley to fight, Putin would simply push a button and blow up New York.. Well, you know what I mean. Even Putin has more class and is more Presidential. I am really interested in understanding this.

Thanks.

surely this woman would die from shock if she was beaten that many times. Can the body take that sort of punishment. She is not a young woman, what happens if she dies.

Henry Hyde led the "moral" crusade against Bill Clinton regarding the Lewinsky affair. Yet, he had an affair with a married woman while he was married.
He was also charged in the S&L scandal and let his "friends" go down.
What an example of morality! A criminal AND hypocrite. Well, thats a con-servative for you!
