Sudanese Muslims burn a photo of the Muhammad teddy bear teacher
Mohammed + Teddy Bear = Riot
Mohammed + Atta = No Riots
Have I got that right?

This ver correct equation of Muslim Math was brought to us by those who gave the world zero.

No, zero is of Indian extraction.

Teddy bears are extremely offensive to Muslims. The teddy bear, being cute and cuddly, constituting a sort of totem of a beloved child or pet, is totally at odds with the jihadist warrior, who is ruthless, unthinking and cruel. Hitler(PBUH) would not have liked teddy bears, as they would have impeded wehrmacht morale. Likewise, the worldwide Jihad would be weakened if teddy bears were allowed to be associated with The Prophet(PBUH).

Name a classroom teddy bear after a kid named after a prophet and get RIOTS !
Mass murderers kill civilians in the name of that same prophet and get PRAISE !
Something odd in the water over there?

But the Koranic ones said it was they who gave us zero. Surely they wouldn't lie, would they?

I really wonder what got into this middle aged womans brain when she accepted to work in a Islamofascist nation as Sudan?
There is something wrong with this woman and i'm not so sure Britain should be pulling all the stops to get her back.

If you read the previous articles on this issue, the school was a mixed group of Christian and Muslim students. Regardless of that, I think it's foolish and utterly amoral to suggest that there should be any hesitation in supporting this woman to the fullest.

The Archbishop of Canterbury who last week called the USA the "worst imperialist country" in history and who praised Muslims for being so devout that they prayed 5 times a day, must be trying to practice some damage control or he is a political animal well schooled in the good old flip flop. He came out of his cloister long enough to comment on Mohamed the Bear and poor teachers Gibbons' treatment. Excerpt from article follows:
" Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, spiritual leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans, said Gibbons' prosecution and conviction was "an absurdly disproportionate response to what is at worst a cultural faux pas."
....
"Gibbons was arrested Sunday after another staff member at the school complained that she had allowed her 7-year-old students to name a teddy bear Muhammad. Giving the name of the Muslim prophet to an animal or a toy could be considered insulting."
Boy talk about changing his tune. It is kind of insulting that he believes the public's memory is shorter than a week. He must have taken some lessons from Cardinal Mahony on how to talk out of your mouth and your posterior at the same time.

You know, if these widely-aired lunacies keep happening so frequently--rape victim/alleged adulteress sentenced to 200 lashes one week, teddy-bear teacher jailed and threatened with death the next, Mr. Spencer could shut down Jihadwatch as redundant.

Ahmadinejad had it right when he said this about the Sudan;
"A great stronghold for authentic pure Islam", arguing, "In Islamic country of Sudan, thanks to the presence of great and pious Alims and thinkers the light of the Glorious Qur'an flows in the veins of people's lives, and piety waves in the hearts of this land's people.
http://www2.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-20/0703015352005938.htm
The word piety comes from the Latin word pietas, the noun form of the adjective pius, which means "devout" or "good".
Yes,I agree with you Mr. prez ahmadinejad ,true Islamic piety waves in their hearts and to the people calling for her death, well they are living in the "light of the Glorious Qur'an".
Good Muslims, devout, yes "pious"..Yep.

In reference to Ahmadinejad terming the Sudanese people as ‘great and pious Alims and thinkers’
“The word piety comes from the Latin word pietas, the noun form of the adjective pius, which means "devout" or "good".”
‘Piety’ when one considers the supreme sublimity of Michelangelo’s ‘The Pieta’ seems utterly blasphemous when applied in such a base manner to these thoroughly hateful people
at November 30, 2007 3:10 PM
Blacks may be persecuted by the Arabs -- or rather, by those who, although they may indeed be black Africans, have been taught, having assumed Arab names and identities, to think of themselves as "Arabs" and thus superior to the blacks whom they are then taught to despise -- but they are also, in Khartoum, Muslims.
Are those depicted in this picture "Arabs" or "non-Arab blacks"? It depends on how they are regarded in Khartoum, and how they regard themselves. Indeed, that tiresome notion of race not existing but being merely a "social construction," if it fits anywhere, would fit the situation in the Sudan. That doesn't mean, by the way, that all black Africans can simply declare themselves Arabs and stop the war being made on them, especially in Darfur. But the clear-cut obvious delimiting between "Arab" and "non-Arab black African" here cannot be made always and everywhere.
In any case, this crowd with the BBC describing it, bizarrely, as "good-natured" -- yes, good-naturedly screaming for someone's good-natured decapitation -- is united in one thing. They are all Muslims, behaving as they think it right and proper for Muslims to behave, demanding what they think is right and proper for Muslims to demand.
There is nothing else that need, about that crowd, to be said.

The "MO” Bear Picnic
Every”MO” bear whose been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of halal things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek and kill Jews if they please
'Cause that's the way the “MO” bears have their picnic
Picnic time for “MO” bears
The little ”MO” bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch Jews unaware
And see them picnic on their holiday
See them stomp’in rioting about
They love, to rage and shout, so much to complain about
At six o'clock their lover men
Will take them home to bed
Because they're just little”MO” bears
If you go down in the woods today
You better not go alone

This is so sad and pathetic. I am sure Islam is a very strong and proud religion however a great deal of followers let it down so badly. I understand it is meant to be the most tolerent and forgiving religion but clearly this in reality is not the case. These people need help, they are clearly extremely insecure in their beliefs for whatever reason. Islam, as other religions do, should be strong and rise above either accidental or even intentional challenge.

It's amazing how these African Negro peoples bow to the Saudi gas station, a place that truly practices aparthied. The treatment of non-Arab "guest workers" there is a travesty. Yet these folks are wannabe Arabs, adopt Arab names, etc. Islam is truly the engine of Arab Imperialism where the self-appointed "best people" crap on non-Arabs. Maybe someday the African people will wake up and realize that the Are-A-Fat Arab types have contempt for them. We can hope.

I seem to recall from Psychology 101 two methods that might serve to eliminate this rage. One is extinction where you endlessly repeat the stimulus but the response is not rewarded, the other is saturation where flooding the brain with repetitive stimulus gradually diminishes response. The internet seems to be doing both. So if dogs, cats, and other pets the world over are named mo and their pictures flood the internet, do you think extinction of this behavior or saturation would occur? Um...probably not.

re:Zaltys post above it is interesting to see the aptly named Unity school website.
The school was originally intended for English ex pats living in Khartoum. Coptic Christians liked the concept and gave to expand the school. Since then the school became a girls school and now is COED teaching an English School Curriculum. The school originally was a Christian school, but now caters to both Christian and muslim students. The teaching staff appears to be dominated by Anglos and based on staff pictures on the site, most are recruited from Great Britan/Europe. See below.. the school and Khartoum are described in idyllic terms to attract potential students and staff. It appears that they are not intending to replace poor Ms Gibbons or fire Sister Sarah, as there are no vacancies posted on the site. Too bad for those of you that want to relocate to the welcoming and cosmopolitan environs of the Sudan.
Here is their description of Kharoum...
"Khartoum is a rapidly growing city and the number of restaurants are increasing by the day! Taxis and buses are easy to use and there is a school pick-up with a driver, which is sometimes available for teachers’ use. Thankfully Khartoum remains a very safe and friendly city, which is surprising to most newcomers to Sudan."
Sister Sarah must not be a very good Muslim as she dares not to cover her head, and appears to favor western dress. Maybe someone should call the local morality police, who can show her the error of her ways through subtle methods of... err.. correction.
I would guess that poor Ms. Gibbons, the soon to be deported teacher under threat of death, might now disagree with the characterization that Khartoum is a "very safe" and "friendly" city.

"This case should have required only simple common sense to resolve. It is unfortunate that the Sudanese authorities were found wanting in this most basic of qualities. They grossly overreacted in this sad affair and this episode. Gillian should never have been arrested, let alone charged and convicted of committing a crime. We hope that Gillian will be able to return home without much further delay," said Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain."
""This is a disgraceful decision and defies common sense. There was clearly no intention on the part of the teacher to deliberately insult the Islamic faith. The children in Ms Gibbons' class and their parents have all testified as to her innocence in this matter. We call upon the Sudanese President, Umar al-Bashir, to intervene in this case without delay to ensure that Ms Gibbons is freed from this quite shameful ordeal," said Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain. "
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7121025.stm
Muslim Labour peer Lord Ahmed is on his way to Sudan to push for her release.
Lord Ahmed, who is being accompanied by the Conservatives' Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, expects to meet President Omar al-Bashir and possibly the chief justice. He is travelling at the invitation of the Sudanese government.
"The Federation of Student Islamic Societies (Fosis), which represents more than 90,000 Muslim students in the UK and Ireland, said it was "deeply concerned" at what was a "gravely disproportionate" verdict.
The federation's president, Ali Alhadithi, said: "What we have here is a case of cultural misunderstandings, and the delicacies of the matter demonstrate that it was not the intention of Gillian Gibbons to imply any offence against Islam or Muslims.
"We hope that the Sudanese authorities will take immediate action to secure a safe release for Gillian Gibbons."
-------------------------------------------------
you see what is happening?
the british government has been silent on this, not hard nosed or pressing the sudanese but instead they have given this opportunity to the Muslim organisations. the muslims will come back with her freedom and the UK islamic leadership will look like they saved here and islam is best for britain.
This is a total set up, a farce. the sudanese government just handed the british muslim organisations a publicity coup.

Kevin, I thought the exact same. After a while I reasized that I was actually thinking of Mr. Bean and Blackadder.
Here's a quote attributed to Rowan Atkinson from Internet Movie Database:
"To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticize and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed."

Hugh has proposed an invasion of southern Sudan to liberate it and protect the people there. Good idea, but we'd never do it: the Saudis wouldn't like it.

Should Ms. Gibbons make it back to the UK safely, here's how I expect her requisite news conference to go.
First she'll say just how glad she is back home and that the whole ordeal is now over. She'll then go on to say how she is sorry for any misunderstanding and hope that peace and understanding can be achieved. She'll also go on to say how she hopes that this incident won't sour relations between muslims and non-muslims. Followed by how she wishes to be left in peace to live with her family. She may also mention a desire to return to that part of the world to continue teaching.
Now understand I am basing this on two parts. One is what her son said in an interview: "I don't want the verdict to lead to any anti feeling towards Muslims. Everyone has been very nice, but one of my fears, and I imagine my mother's also, will be that this results in any sort of resentment towards Muslim people." (thisislondon.co.uk/news)
And two is the fact that she would so willingly go to a muslim nation actively involved in genocide. It confounds the mind as to why unless one accepts the view that others believe that the way to end the violence is through understanding.
Naturally I could be totally wrong, it is quite possible this experience will leave her with a bad taste in her mouth in regards to islam. Hopefully we won't have to wait long to find out since I picked up somewhere that the Sudanese are supposedly already working on her deportation papers. If so, could that mean she never serves the full sentence handed down?

Then Bush would display them in a prominent place in the White House, just before shipping them off, and then dropping them out of a plane over Sudan. This would show those loathsome, evil Muslims what we think of them, and their nightmare, monster belief-system! :-)

Sorry, I can't name my child's teddy bear "Muhammed." I hate Muhammed too much. We won't have that horrible, evil, name in this house. We won't name the teddy "Adolph" or "Joseph," either.

Concerning above, you know I meant Joseph Stalin.
Not, of course, St. Joseph, Jesus's "father."
A pity they have the same name - one all good, the other all evil.

I'm glad it's making the news. Every irrational display wakes up a few more people.
Unfortunately this happens all too often. Voice Of The Martyrs has articles about these peace-loving followers of mohammed-the-bear and the things they do to their neighbors all the time. This incident is far from unique.
I know it isn't very nice of me to think this way, but every time I see one of these million-mad-man marches taking place...I dream of what the scene would look like if I could see it in person (through the gunsite of an Apache).
Sleep well everyone! I'm sure NONE of these sorts are here in the U.S. ;-)
Texan, good to see you posting again.

Someone in another posting said:
"I don't know about the rest of you but those folks in the pictures look to be black and not Arab. I thought the blacks were the ones being persecuted by the Arab Sudanese government"
----------------------
Of course, the Sudanese, they ARE racially Black. But they insist they are Arabs, claiming that their homeland is Arabia. And in fact, these people have outright contempt for those they consider "Black."
I noticed this in a PBS episode of Prof. Henri Louis Gates Jr.'s. Wonders of the African World series (Black Kingdoms of he Nile)
http://www.pbs.org/wonders/fr_wn.htm
Prof. Gates JR. converses with a Black Sudanese, who insists he is not one of the ignorant, black Africans, but his homeland is Arabia ( and points across the coastline north to the Arabian peninsula). The man insisted his family is from there, and he expects to return to Arabia someday. What a pitiful situation. Prof. Gates, Jr. was left speechless.

Cathkins - I heard it too.
We listen to ABC FM - which is a classical music station, so ONLY the very top-ranking news stories make it onto the news slots which happen three times a day. This story about Teddy Bear Rage (which should connect in people's brains with other things - Cartoon Rage, Pope Rage) was either first or second item up, in the breakfast slot.
My fourteen-year-old daughter heard it and said, - "That's CRAZY".
Idea: once Ms Gibbons is safely back in England, how about some UK jihadwatcher volunteers to send her a Welcome Home present? - a copy of "TheTruth About Muhammad" - with a covering letter explaining why it's been sent, and a bookmark in the section about Asma bint Marwan and the other poets and 'mockers' and Muhammad's oh-so-fragile ego.

Hey, Hugh...most swami's have normal life spans, duh_swami's live to be very old. Remember Professor Erwin Corey? He claimed to be the worlds only 2000 year old man. I am not quite yet that old, but I am working on it...
Posted by: duh_swami at November 30, 2007 10:38 PM
I feel terrible for this woman. I read about the place she was supposed to be imprisoned and I really hope she makes it out without catching some dread disease. I also find it absolutely ridiculous that these Sudanese muslims have the nerve to call for her death.
Words fail me.
Anyway, I was inspired to make a Mohammed teddy bear in protest of this ridiculous court ruling and also in protest of the horrendous behavior of these savages. That is the only way I can possibly describe them because really? Calling for an innocent teacher to be executed? Savages may be too light a word for this. If anyone's interested, here's the bear I made:

I'm sorry if I can't post links here, as this is my first time posting so I really don't know the etiquette, but this just has me incensed, to say the very least. What horror this woman will likely go through. She'll probably need protection for the rest of her life... all over a bear. I also feel bad for her students. The kid was what, seven years old? I bet he feels awful. This is just too much to comprehend for an adult, let alone a little kid. A true horror, all around.

No, Irwin Corey was not the "2000 Year Old Man." That routine was done by Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. Irwin Corey was The World's Greatest Authority. You know, just like Jeffrey Sachs of the World Institute, and others of that busy-body ilk.

HMMM I seem to remember him using that routine, more than once. I did know about the other guys. Of course, all those years, all that tofu, hinders the old memory banks. I can't remember how he worded it, he might have said the original, or the only...Oh well it's gone. He was the worlds Greatest Authority. And could expound on it at length.

Islam is a HOAX!!
Muhammad has you DUPED!!
Allah is a FAKER!!
All this 'To Do' over some dead guy/false prophet who fashioned a cult after a moon god named allah -- and Muslims sure do have an odd fascination with destroying things with fire. Why is that? Is there some sort of cultic symbolism attached to burning things? Or is fire simply in their blood!
Yeah, well, they make my blood boil.

Will the real Islam please stand up?
Self-appointed enforcers of Islamic law spread influence in Egypt
Government-backed clerics fear that their relatively moderate brand of Islam is being replaced by a more militant version fueled by widespread political discontent at home and fury over what's seen as Western meddling in the Muslim world. To add insult to injury, sheiks who've devoted their lives to studying Islam's intricacies are finding themselves upstaged by religious vigilantes with no formal training.Posted by: yadayada

obviously the imam put in a few kind words(blasphemy, riot, beheading) on behalf of Ms Gibbsons, just to put them in the right frame of mind and voila the spontaneous reaction of the religion of peace horde.The rage you know.......

The way I see it, the only people with a legitimate reason to be offended here are fans of teddy bears.
Fortunately, they're not nearly as prone to violent protests as fans of good ol' Momo (pee be you ache).

The Barbarians are now calling for the execution of Gibbons by firing squad.
I watched Bill O'Reilly this morning online. He had Brigitte Gabriel as a guest and she called it "Islamo-Naziism." Not Fascism - Naziism.
Posted by: darcy at December 1, 2007 7:51 AM
Just seen Bill O'Reily interview both Bridgette Gabrial and a Muslim whose last name I believe is Vicks from an American Muslim organization. BOR tonight REALLY hit hard on the Muslim gentleman and Ms. Gabrial did a stunning rant about the dangers that the west is facing from Islamofacists.
Posted by: bigcatgirl13106 at November 30, 2007 8:29 PM
Yes, that's it, bigcatgirl. Yes, BOR has really come along - knows his stuff and isn't taking any taqiyya. Gabriel said "Islamo-Naziism," not Fascism. And anything she says is 100% correct in my book.

Kev
your magic ball missed out the part where she is brought home by a "british" muslim delegation in which the press will hail as saving her life and therefore islam is great for britain!
incidentally i just saw on the bbc world news about 5 minutes ago, they actually said that the sudanese demonstration was "good natured".
Posted by: leonthepigfarmer
Thanks for that added bit leon. I admit that the magic ball can be hard to read after my kids have been playing with it outside.:)
On another note, read where they put Ms. Gibbons in a secret location because of these "peaceful" demostrations.
Posted by: Kevin at December 1, 2007 10:25 AM
I also saw the BOR interview with that.....gentleman. And frankly, I don't think BOR went far enough in denouncing islam. However he did take that.....gentleman to task and never let up about the silence of the "majority" of muslims. Please don't tell me we have to go through another period of a "silent majority." The first version was lame enough.
Posted by: Kevin at December 1, 2007 11:31 AM
There is convincing evidence that this action on the part of Sudan was premeditated. To incite, and in such short order, a large segment of the population with no access to sophisticated communication sources is indeed suspicious.
This is the continuation of Jihad underway in Britain to test its resiliency in the face of the Islamic war in progress there; to be sure, its effects are being watched throughout the Muslim world.
The humiliation of the British nation evidenced by their benign response to the kidnapping in March of this year of sailors and marines in Iranian waters was carefully watched by enemies and friends alike: allowing the debasement of one’s nationals and military does have consequences. The guiding principles governing Jihad test the infidel to wage defensive war; here, the Brits have failed once again, ad nauseam.
Thus far, the Brits are well on the road to being overwhelmed by the Islamic project, to wit, none, within the political establishment, are the wiser. Mrs Gibbons unfortunately is the victim of a once proud nation impervious to its import to the civilized and civilizing world.
We, in the US, await the reawaken of a resurgent UK which settles the score compellingly and when necessary, forcefully.

Our local newspaper, which is as liberal left as you can get, published this story along with the picture of the angry mob. The more of these rediculous incidents get published the better.

The only true victims in this case are the teacher and students, who are surrounded by bunches and bunches of incredibly stupid idiots, and that poor teddy bear, who was named after an illiterate desert nut case. Oops, did I just insult the great (false) prophet?

"There is convincing evidence that this action on the part of Sudan was premeditated. To incite, and in such short order, a large segment of the population with no access to sophisticated communication sources is indeed suspicious."
Wouldn't surprise me at all. The real shame of it all is that I've met many Sudanese (mostly during my stay in Cairo) and they were just about the friendliest, most kind-hearted people you'll ever meet. Unfortunately, the government continues to actively fund these fanatics while sidelining (or worse) the vast majority of Sudanese people who would never hurt a fly.
*sigh* If I were in charge, I'd say it's time for Omar al-Bashir to go. But I'm not in charge. (for which many on this site are immensely grateful, no doubt)

Tiny minority of extremists alert?
What do you base that statement from?
I am all but assured that about 250,000 plus Sudanese in and around Darfur would beg to differ, that is, if the dead were allowed to speak.

There has been entirely too much talk in this situation in which well-meaning Westerners have attempted to "defend" this teacher. They say "well she didn't mean anything by it" etc.. We should be sending a very clear message to Sudan. It doesn't matter what this teacher may or may not have said or implied or thought. Her opinion on Islam or Muslims does not matter. A law that seeks to punish people for "insulting Islam" or blaspheming Islam or insulting religious feeling or whatever other coy euphemisms you come up for it is absolutely unacceptable in todays world. We should stand firmly for the right of free expression. This must include profane, insulting, offensive, and blasphemous speech or it is not truly free expression. The Sudanese, and the rest of the Muslim world, is going to have to get used to this if they want to participate in the global economy, and that includes our foreign aid, including us sending teachers and other well-meaning sorts to their countries.
Posted by: Monte Gardner at December 1, 2007 8:59 PM
We should all understand that this situation is not about a Teddy Bear. Just as the Danish cartoon crisis was not about Danish Cartoons. This is about a culture that is so imbued with radical, xenophobic paranoia that any action by outsiders, no matter how innocuous can become remapped into their cosmological war of good vs evil in which the "poor besieged Muslim victims" are oppressed by the vast, unfathomable jewish-crusader conspiracy to destroy Islam. Thus, the simple act of calling a teddy bear "muhammed" becomes an act of "brittish colonialism" intended to control or interfere in their society in some way. This is the same culture that produced the "documentary" about Zionist commercial conspiracies in which it was claimed that Pepsi was an acronym for "Pay Each Penny Save Israel". We need to attack this knee-jerk xenophobia. Perhaps better and more unrestricted (uncensored) access to internet by the masses could be 1 part of the solution.
Posted by: Monte Gardner at December 1, 2007 9:10 PM
I hate muslim math.
The set of all muslims = {1.6 billion muslims}
The subset of all muslims who are offended/insulted again = {1.6 billion muslims}
The subset of all muslims who are sure that everyone else is not a true muslim = {1.6 billion muslims}
The subset of muslims who think islam is a beautiful religion of peace = {1.6 billion muslims}
The subset of muslims who say that this or that muslim does not represent them = {1.6 billion}
The subset of muslims who want blood for insults = { not defined }
