Many in Sudan are calling for the death of the British teacher, now in jail because her students (all Muslims from Muslim famiiies) gave a fictional teddy bear a religious name. Imagine how Christians would react if a fictional bear were named peter or paul. Oh, horror. Surely we would all be in the street calling out for justice and enraged. NOT. When will Christians wake up to the fact that we are the good guys in an otherwise evil world. Can we ever have a meaningful dialogue with these people who scream for blood everytime they feel insulted. Why are they not insulted by their own foolishness and evil behaviors directed at good people? Did not that British teacher leave her own comfort to go over there to help those people? Where will it all end?

Im an atheist, and I agree with every word, however, I believe the naive moral view of most Christians will help Muslims in bringing down the west.
Muslims in the Sudan are not much different than Muslims anywhere. The Sudan story has to compete with the Saudi-rape story...which has to compete with the countless Islamic conflicts worldwide. Almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic. In fact, Islamic terror and upheveal is so common, we simply cant remember all the things going on.
Like, I bet you have already forgot the one month islamic riot in France...yes? Maybe even the London bombings have slipped your memory...theres soo many things, happening and that have happened...all in the name of Islam...constantly...never ceasing...

It does show that Islam is in a state of crisis.
There are many devout Muslims who really want to be with God. There are many more decent Muslims who may pay more attention to worldly matters, but are not trying to harm anybody.
But there are elements of Islam who are very far from God and decency. Some of them are deliberately organizing these murderous riots for political ends.
This crisis affects the whole world. But the crisis in Islam will have to be resolved within Islam.
Meanwhile, the rest of us will have to fight just to maintain our freedoms.

A little research manifests that Islam does support violence, but is not justified by God in establishing a theocracy, unlike men like Moses in his times, and very contrary to the New Testament and the true Jesus: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/JESUS.Vs.Muhammad.html
