Give me the chance to insult bleeding Islam...and all religions; I HATE religion!
Mine was Catholicism until I woke up.
Why does [anyone] need to go peddling her wares in a country like Sudan anyway!
Leave them all where they are at, luvvy; in the Dark Ages in their mud huts [...]
Get yerself back to the 'Pool!

Hi Robin – thanks for commenting and reading. I’ve read that she’s been found guilty of insulting Islam and will serve 10 days in jail (the sentence was for 15 but she’s been in there for five already) and then deported. Her attorney wanted to appeal but her place of employment doesn’t want an appeal. I’m not sure what’s next – I’m following the BBC and the Guardian for this story.

I caught part of this story, on the news last night. These people are just plain crazy for punishing the teacher over a name of a teddy bear. Really??? Couldn’t someone just politely inform her that she couldn’t use that name, and suggest another name she could use? But… I guess that would just be too easy.
