What name would you give a teddy bear

[monty]

Discuss, but be careful what you say!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

All reminds me of the stoning scene in Life of Brian (welcome back Monty)

 

[Rob]

Theodore?

It refers to this Rob.

A British primary school teacher in Sudan is facing 40 lashes and up to a year in jail for allowing her pupils to name a teddy bear after the prophet Mohammed

The worlds gone [Poor language removed] mad.

Go to war unless they release her.

Bloody whoppers.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

It just goes to show how pathetic certain elements of the world community are.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Solution?

Dont let any of them near our country, don't let our educated people in theirs.

The cheek, woman f**king over there helping and they do that.

I dont often get wound up over the news but pissed me off hearing this.

 

[TX Bill]

I'd name mine "Mohammed Bear" and tell the radical Islamists to suck it.

Religion of Peace my ass. :angry:

 

[chicoazul]

Its down to the interpretation, radical in Sudan it seems.

I have a few Muslim mates and they would be horrified by this. I hope they get her back safely.

 

[Rook]

I'm just shocked that they didn't behead her in front of her class.

she has been naive, whats the saying? "when in rome"

she hasnt been very clever on this count, i suspect money might get her off/out but british diplomacy cant really interfere with judicial practices abroad.

imagine how rats like hamza would view and therefore spin all british aid to sudan being pulled due to the punishment dealt to this lady in the name of allah.


RJ - not all muslims are pathetic shits.
danny - there is no 'our country'

the foreign office could pull all brits out i suppose, but there are ramifications to that action as well. i wonder if it were a sudanese individual if the penalty would be so lenient. consider that one.

I agree Suits, wasn't it in the Sudan that a woman was given a considerable number of lashes for allowing herself to be raped, a a years imprisonment. I don't recall what happened to the men that raped her, I'm presuming they had bits chopped off, but didn't really listen to that part of the story!

And as Suits says, when in Rome ... whether it be working, or even just visiting foreign countries, it only takes a bit of research to find out if there are any activities, clothing, or subjects that should be avoided.

But saying all that, you'd like to think that the Foreign Office would get involved in some tactful way.

Without trying to be racist, [Poor language removed] them there false god and that pig [Poor language removed] Muhammad.
Suitsblue said "she hasnt been very clever on this count, i suspect money might get her off/out but british diplomacy cant really interfere with judicial practices abroad."

[Poor language removed] diplomacy then just send in the army and let Sudan and all Muslims all accross the world know we are sick of there [Poor language removed].

I don't see the problem, i mean they call there kids Muhammad without a second thought and im sure a lot of them do a lot more damage to the name than a stuffed bear.

As far as im concerned we should just declare war on Islam and show no mercy they are already bombing us anyway so i doubt we would even notice the difference.

 

[SuitsBlue]

invading another country whilst iraq and afghanistan continue to burn might not sit well with a few individuals in parliament and very probably a few countries, not least sudans neighbours - especially an invasion under a flag of a war on islam.

contentious issue this, if they make an example of her i doubt many other westerners will be so stupid in future.
