insulting God/Jesus?

According to the Bible, you're not suppose to use his name in vaid and conversion is punishible by death. The Bible commands its followers to kill their brothers and even their fathers if they worship another God.

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) -- A British teacher has been arrested in Sudan for allegedly insulting Islam by naming a teddy bear Mohammed, taken as a reference to Islam's prophet and founder, the Sudan Media Center says.

QUESTION? Is her star power going to over take the Big O?
Oprah is pandering Obama now we have Babs in the ring? Who shall win? Does it matter to you?
Just curious because the stuff is getting thick here. Any ideas who Republican's will get next? Or will they go that far? Thoughts ideas opinions? A good joke?

Gulliani's detractors criticize him for his "character flaws", much like many did on Bill Clinton, another very successful problem solver, hated by many envious people.

He has many character flaws BUT WHO CARES?? Character aside, Gulliani is by far the only candidate, of both reps and dems, WHO HAS ACTUALLY PROVEN SUCCESSFUL IN EXECUTIVE DECISION-MAKING situations, when he was N.Y. City major.

Check his resume. He transformed a crime-ridden, chaotic and highest-ranking in violence city into an orderly, low-crime, very safe city, THE MOST IMPORTANT CITY IN THE WORLD NO LESS. Then, after the 9/11 attacks, HE WAS THE VOICE OF THE U.S., the person who most helped the country stand up, regroup and show strength and resolve to the world.

I like McCain's character and experience better, BUT THE U.S. NEEDS RIGHT NOW A SUCCESSFUL, SHARP DECISION MAKER with a proven experience record, and the only candidate like that is Gulliani. Who else, dem or rep has a record of REAL achievements?

I served in the USAF for 12 years, have bachelors degrees and 2 years experience working for an Investment Banking firm , I'm seeking a Business Development position, my resume & background could not be more solid, I've seen many adds claiming to have preferential hiring programs for prior military, but I've experienced quite the opposite, most civillians do not relate or interpet military experience to be valuable or correlate to civillian sector skills, I get questions like do you have leadership experience, well I led over 75 troops into combat utilizing high-tech complex communications and weapons systems, synergized all of the planning, logistics to ensure all objectives were met, does that count for leadership, I've managed 100s of personnel, 100+ million dollars worth of equipment, I can fill 50 pages of professional, educational, etc accomplishments, oh by the way in my first year as civillian managed and created over $80 Million dollars of new business- Frustrated Vet

Things dont always work out the way they promised and the Conservatives say, as a last resort "well you liberals just WANTED us to fail. Yeah, thats it".

Please. Whatever happened to all that 'personal responsibilty' or was that just more empty rhetoric and hypocrisy?

I'm guessing it is as there are no liberals who ever said "As I liberal I hope America fails"

Let the personal attacks and non-answers begin 1...2...3..GO!

I live in an apartment and they hang out in the hallway and smoke. Smoke comes into my apartment all the time. It's making me sick.
I can't talk to them because they don't speak or understand English.

Asking both to avoid bias towards your own favorite candidate doing well.

Personally, my favorite candidate is Romney, but I think Huckabee did the best last night.

The only definition I've heard was from the untrustworthy Ted Kennedy. Yet his definition doesn't even make sense. He called it both mock drownding and said it activates the gag reflex. That doesn't make sense! The gag reflex would make you throw up. Drownding, on the other hand makes your windpipe close up, kind of like an asthma attack. So which is it?

The UK ambassador suggests that the convicted teacher my have been guilty of insensitivity to the local customs when she allowed the class to name the "Teddy bear" Muhammad. It is my contention that she only guilty of showing her sensitivity to that culture. A Teddy bear is not an animal at all but rather a FRIEND. It is your friend, it is your confidant. It is someone who listens to everything you say and does not judge you. It misses you when you are gone and is glad when you return.
It is the actions like those of this court that fuel the hatred of Islam and its judges.
Just two days ago, I heard a man call to his pet dog, Muhammad, it was a surprise in this part of the world, Kansas. I did not realize that it was intended to be an insult. I not would be suprised, IF, in this nation of pork eating people, that someone or ten someones named all of the swine on their ranch "Muhammad."
I would name my dog if I had one "Muhammad", not in honor of the prophet, but rather for you.

I'm not sure if this would be cosidered malpractice or if we should just file a complaint and who to file it with.

A doctor treating a patien for Bipolar disorder, anxiety, panic attacks, high blood pressure and diabetes. One of the medications for the anxiety and panic disorder is addictive. The patient goes in for his routine exam and refills and the next day realizes he was not given a refill on the panic disorder medication. The doctor is called and asked for a refill 4 days later after the patient has run out of the medication and experiancing severe side effects of withdrawl and panic disorder the doctor call the pharmacy and denies the refill and tells the pharmacy that he needs to see the patient. It states very clearly in all pharmacy information to NOT abruptly stop taking this medication due to extreme pschological and physical side effects of withdrawl.

Is this malpractice or just somthing that should be reported to the medical board?

I hear that most illegal aliens are good people. Most probably are. Just because a person works hard, does not mean they deserve a free pass. I'm pretty that there are a lot of good people. Does that give them a right to not follow the rules?
Do they not know about fairness?

that all of the troubles in the world were created by conservatives? You know, the way Limbaugh has..Just curious, as I can't comprehend how people can accept the crazy conspiracy theories, even if they do support their political preference. I dislike Bush, but it doesn't mean I think he caused 9-11. Yet so many people seem to swallow the rhetoric spit out by people like Limbaugh.
