to death? If you disagree with me please prove it by criticizing Islam, not the people Islam

No. Again, fundamentalism hard at work. Fundamentalists are the enemies or reason and dialog wherever they pop up and in whatever culture.
In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the Islamic world was an example for the encouragement of science, the arts, philosophy, etc...
The court of the Shah was long a center of culture.
Anytime, someone posits beliefs that are not to be discussed, but only obeyed, you know a culture is entering decadence.

You would first need to define 'criticizing Islam!'
The teacher did not criticize Islam, as she named the bear after a pupil!
If that could be construed as blasphemy, then what about the parents of the child?!
Naming a teddy bear after a pupil, is not criticizing, or blaspheming Islam in any way, shape or form!
All this particular case has done, is make a mockery of Islam, for over-reacting to something completely innocent, as even the boy the bear was named after has told them what happened!
It doesn't say much for Islam's faith or trust in the honesty of their own people!

Islam has committed a cardinal blaspeme.
They have set themselves up to be better than all humanity. That is indeed a blaspheme in the eyes of allah and they will be brought low.
Even mohammad would a give his blessing on that. And in that islam cannot argue.

In deed, the act of the teacher has to be looked upon with her intentions, and if someone is not sure and has no clue for her intentions then it is highly immoral to accuse her of defaming Holy Prophet, Mohammad.
Islamic Laws emphasise on the INTENTIONS of the deed, not to its apparent values. Allow me to mention an event from the days of our Prophet Mohammad so that it might get clear to so many who might give it a little thought:
During the days of Prophet there was an Idolator who used to play naughty with the Muslims, one day, a disciple of The Prophet was in very bad mood and the same person exasperated him to such an extent that the disciple chased him & killed him. This he later reported back to The Prohpet, who asked him, 'What did he say when you raised your sword?'
The disciple replied, 'He said, I believe in One God, the unseen.’ But I still killed him as he was lying.
The Prophet was cross with the disciple and asked him, ‘Did you see his intentions? And how can you be sure for he was lying or was truthful?’
Therefore, my friends, and the People of The Book, that is, The Christians & The Jews, in Islam it is the intention of the person which counts, not the apparent values, and for this matter, it is only God All-knowing, All-wise Who knows the best about the intentions of the teacher.
A prudent, god-fearing Muslim with firm belief in hereafter will never challenge such a person on the apparent values. It is about the least learned in religion or for those who are too engrossed in practicing Islam than getting the true spirit of it. Therefore, by making fuss about such matters they think that they are doing good service to Islam & enhancing their faith in God and His messenager, which is absolutely corrupt.

Usually it is merely a misconception.
They should be told the truth, taken out of the toxic air that seems to stand as a preview of Islam, which is usually what they witness from the oh so accurate Internet and television.

If I'm considered a blasphemer, so be it. At the moment, Islam is my least favourite religion.

criticism involves intellectual discussion and debate. some people unfortunately cant do that and resort to insults instead.
criticism and insult are two different things I think its about time people learned the difference between these two words. Muslims do not get upset because someone criticizes Islam but because they constantly insult! and who wouldn't be?

The Law of the koran states that all who do not submit to islam are to abe killed... there is only one koran and only one islam... the vast majority of those who are now in submission to islam are, for the most part, good people... unfortunatly they are, as muslims, if they are real muslims, sworn to obey they law of allah as it is in the koran... absolutly and compleatly and with out exception... unless they are doing so they are not true to allah and are subject to the same fate as any other who does not submit to islam... by the koran ALL who do not submit are to be killed.... I am not "blaspheming" islam or the koran or allah... the koran,The word of allah, is The Law of islam... muslims are to follow The Law... without exception.
What does that make all who follow The Law of the koran... relative to all the rest of the population of the world who do not submit to the law of the koran?

I feel sorry for the people of that faith . someday they will leave the box of fascist Islam .
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
