KILL you if you decided to name a Stuffed Toy "Mohammed"? They are now actually marching in the streets by the thousands to kill the person who did this. The two week prison sentence is not satisfactory to them.

I re-named an old Hound Dog "Leroy", after a very nosey neighbor once. He learned of it and was miffed but his only reaction was to name his ugliest dog after me. Killing somebody over the name of a stuffed toy? Hard to imagine.

I think it's great. She'll get out after a 15 day prison sentence and go home and the whole world gets to once again see that these are just giant cults and cannot be reasoned with or compromised with.
There's an important thing here that is being missed by the media. Her Muslim students named the bear. That means they will feel bad for the way their teacher is being treated which means they will grow up hating these religious nuts. Every time these nut jobs stand up and do their stuff more and more people inch away from them.
This teacher should be given a parade. Bless her heart.

Its a worry isn't it. But the world has always been a mad bad place. And there have been many wars which started off with an even more silly start than a Teddy bear. The war of Jenkins ear for instance,
But how can us Western people feel comfortable when we are attacked over petty silliness? Its only a Teddy. I guess they must feel so insecure about their religion to act soo badly? I don't think that we are intolerant, in fact Britian is far too tolerant.

Now, imagine what would happen to the person who named the stuffed toy "Jehova" or "Jesus Christ." The more religious the culture, the more violent they are about their beliefs. Luckily, America is following the more civilized nations and slowly weeding religion out of public affairs, despite attempts to make Christianity the state religion.

I'm still quite puzzled by this. The children, who were raised Muslim and should know their faith, named the teddy. The teacher, a Brit with only a vague working knowledge and an affection for kids, as well as an assumption that they wouldn't break their own religious rules, let them.
So why is it that the mob wants the teacher killed? Surely the children should, by their logic, be shot for actually naming the bear.....?

With all that has gone on in the news, peoples sense of urgency has become callous. If this would have happened many years ago..people would have seen it differently...they still believe it is wrong but are so used to hearing stuff like this.....things go on right under our nose and we do not fully grasp what is actually going on...

And the ACLU, and Most in the Democratic party would agree with them. Why else would they say that the butcher in Guantanamo have more rights to a lawyer than American Soldiers have the right to live and fight to win.

That is sad, but on another note it is sad that some refuse to respect anothers belief system. I don't think anyone deserves to go to prison for naming a toy Mohammad though, that is absurd, people don't go to prison for carving Jesus out of a pile of dung, and I would say that is extremely offensive to Christians. ;-)

NEVER forget. The people who are doing this are NOT Muslims.
They are full-fledged, card-carrying members of Wahabism, a death cult which has deliberately perverted Islam.
Their dearest wish is to die. Their second dearest wish is to take as many others with them as they can.
Since this is the Season for granting wishes, I say, let's give 'em their dearest wish! Then we won't have to bother with their second dearest wish!

There are many crazy religions out there. Like here in the US we have nut cases who actually blow up buildings and kill children because the government allows abortion. It is crazy the world over.

So what else is new? Read a history book, any one of them. It's been happening forever. I know a guy who firebombed a pizza place because the owner "looked at him funny".
