(BBC) Scary Junior class in Sudan votes to name their teddy bear Muhammad. Visiting British teacher delighted that the children have used the principle of democratic voting to name something they dearly love. What could possibly go wrong?   (news.bbc.co.uk) divider line 172

Wait until they find her Koranic roll of toilet paper. Oh boy.

Aren't people named Muhammad, too? Would that not also be an insult to Islam? I mean, what mere human could possibly be worthy enough of such a renowned and august name?

/Should have named the Teddy Moses, Buddha or Jesus.

I've always wondered that myself...if any "image" of the prophet is worthy of jihading up the joint, then what happens when parents name some kid -- especially an ugly, stupid one -- after Muhammad? Wouldn't that be a major insult and worth responding to in the usual calm, reasonable fashion?

Everything is an insult to Islam.

Especially posts in forums on the internet.

I'm pretty sure naming a Teddy bear "Jesus" will get you fired from Catholic school, too.

Of course, the difference is, in Sudan, sand-filled vaginas carry the force of law. Remember that, the next time some libtard starts whining about oppressed muslims and the supposed separation of church and state.

 
Nemo's Brother 2007-11-26 08:36:15 AM  
The answer is Mr. Coffee Nerves is that Muslims like to be angry at people and don't really put much thought into what makes them angry and why. As long as some homicidal religious leader shouts and points, they know where to go and how to act.

 
FLMountainMan 2007-11-26 08:36:51 AM  
WTF? Can I arrest the guy over in IT named "Jesus"? Glad to see that the children are going to lose a teacher over this crap.

I can't wait to hear how the Muslim apologists spin this.

Actually, I probably can.

It's a good thing she didn't decide to get raped, she's probably get a hell of a lot more lashes in punishment.

I don't ordinarily like to pass large-scale judgments on swaths of people, but in all honesty, oftentimes I think Muslims need to chill the fark out and lighten up a little.

They have stiff penalties for those "Convicted of being raped".

In most hispanic countries, which traditionally are Catholic, Jesús is an old-fashioned but quite common name.

Last I checked, it wasn't "libtards" who got us into a farked up needless war to "liberate" those oppressed Muslims.

No, not "just like" Christians. Last I checked, Christians didn't have the authority to throw your ass in jail, thanks to the seperation of church and state, so your comparison equals FAIL.

Does the slashie section of your comment apply to yourself as well?

Nope. Not if it's Hay-zeus "Jesus". But that is an awkwardly formal name for a stuffed animal. I called my stuffed bear Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Because the Saudis are a bunch of uneducated animals? Reprisals for naming a bear after a pedophile because his name is too holy?



lol wut?

You are correct and I am an idiot. I've been up for 40 hours and am procrastinating on a paper. Sudan, not the kingdom of Saud, still having relapses to the rape thread.

FTFA:"...each child was then allowed to take the bear home at weekends and told to write a diary about what they did with it.

He said the children's entries were collected in a book with a picture of the bear on the cover and a message which read, "My name is Muhammad."

The bear itself was not marked or labelled with the name in any way, he added."

He doesn't look like a Muhammad

Last I checked until 2003 were still anti-sodomy laws on the books in more than a dozen states, which meant that Christian moralizing did lead to people getting their asses thrown in jail for transgressing Christian values.

Plus: in most states gays can't even have a civil union or spousal benefits extended to a long-term partner let alone a marriage, anti-discrimination laws against gays are incredibly weak, openly gay people are banned from serving in the military and dishonourably discharged if they are in the military, and adoption by same-sex couples is still not allowed in some states.

How's that church and state shiat working out for you? Do you really think that Christianity has no influence on your laws and more importantly, that Christians have no influence on the people who make laws? Do you remember the 2004 election and how Republicans ensured good turnout among their Christian base by emphasizing anti-same-sex-marriage Constitutional amendments and getting referenda in a bunch of states?
