Teacher Jailed for calling Teddy Bear Mohammed.
 
A British teacher in Sudan has been arrested for allowing her pupils to name the class teddy bear Mohammed. If convicted she'll get either six months in jail or 40 lashes.

Send in the SAS, the Transformers, the A-Team, Rambo, Jackie Chan, Mr Bean: whatever it takes to end this madness.

the only thing that will end this madness is for the human race to fully grasp the truth that there are no gods, there never were any gods, and that the human race is to blame for every single ill that it visits upon itself, as well as being the one to praise for everything GOOD that has happened to us.

we are on our own, people.

Or if youre gonna believe in God, believe in a God who has a sense of bleedin humour.

Rob Instigator 11.28.2007 11:24 AM

for religious people, there is nothing funny about salvation/damnation

stupid dichotomy idiots.

I dont know, we tried that and it didn't help anybody. remember the stalinist purges? The Third Reich? The Cultural Revolution? The Kmher Rouge? I dont think that ideological atheism has done the world any better then ideological religious intolerance. there must be yet a third option. oh yeah, just plain ol regular tolerance. see what you are proposing is filled with as much antagonism as the Inquisition.... the better solution is true acceptance of everyone. the religious people accept the atheist or non-religious people, while at the same time the non-religious and the atheist accept the religious. this is tolerance and respect.

I take it you not familiar with the God of the Old Testament then?

and by the way,not that I am supporting the Sudanese decision to make the arrest, but this teacher, as a foreigner working and living in war zone, should have been a bit more careful in her own decision to allow the kids to name to pet after the prophet. after all, they are children, it is not expected that the children no every faux pas, especially those which can receive 40 lashes... if i was teaching in the Sudan, I believe it would be very important to dot my i's and cross my t's so to speak..

The Third Reich was a Roman catholic government, with full backing from the Vatican, the same as the fascists in Italy.
Communist "atheism" was a bullshit facade. they allowed the Russian orthodox Church to exist.
Like I said, as long as religion is based upon the question of damnation/salvation there will never be tolerance, acceptance, or communal religious lives. It is not up to the atheists and anti-theists and agnostics to change. the change must come from within the intolerant religious people.

This is what the Freemasons have taught and continue to teach, that no religion is greater than any other, that all are paths to wisdom to enlightenment, and that all are equally capable of this. this is why hardcore christians and hardcore jews and hardcore muslims HATE the freemasons and paint them as some Satanic cult. The Freemasons begat a country where these ideals were supposed to be of the utmost importance, the United States of America, and even that is being subverted, NOT by athiests, but by the very religious fundamentalist christians. fuck them ALL

they should cut off her face and make her eat it.

floatingslowly 11.28.2007 12:55 PM

my teddy's name is Xenu.

Xenu totally kicks the other demi-god's collective asses.


[edit: after EXTENSIVE research into Xenu iconolgy, I have discovered that Xenu is not only popular with the scientologists, but with gay leather bikers as well. caution is advised when discussing your stuffed animal names with either demographic]

no, Xena is from down under. Xenu is from outerspace.

however, I'm sure he doesn't mind being called warrior princess (in certain bars).

They named the teddy bear (not a pet) after one of their classmates.

Mohammed's parents should be sent to jail for the blasphemy of naming their child after the great prophet.
