Religion O’ Peace Update - The Teddy Bear Of Doom!
From the mouth of the enemy himself, comes this report from Al-Jazeera:
Hundreds of protesters have marched through the Sudanese capital Khartoum demanding death for a British school teacher convicted of insulting Islam.
The protesters chanted “no one lives who insults the prophet”, a day after Gillian Gibbons was sentenced to 15 days in jail and deportation for allowing her class to named a teddy bear Mohammad.
They waved green Islamic flags, held up ceremonial swords and chanted religious and nationalist slogans as they took to the streets after Friday prayers.
The naming of a toy animal after Islam’s most revered prophet has sparked great controversy in the African nation.
Can we PLEASE now move beyond the rediculous idea that the Islamists (or Salafists, or Wahabbis, or Muslim Fundamentalists, or Islamokazes, or whatever you want to call them) are somehow reasonable people, that we just need to learn to get along with?
