Post Titled: Stuffed Animal Named Muhammad
News has trickled in throughout the day about the British teacher Gillian Gibbons who is jailed in Sudan for allowing her elementary school class to name a stuffed amimal Teddy Bear "Muhammad"
Earlier BBC reported that thousands turned out on the streets to protest the light 15-day jail sentance (in some of the worst prison conditions in the world, mind you) in favor of the death penalty by firing squad. The BBC has since backpedalled, and retreated a bit with the story- now saying that only some of the protestors called for the death pennalty, and there were only aproximately a thousand protestors...

This just seems to prove that human beings -as smart as we think we are- are sometimes (err, often) sooooo soooo idiotic.

And I hope this doesn't turn into another retarded and overblown Danish cartoon incident-

AMJAD's BLOG says it best:
"Three words: This is ridiculous."

The Stranger's editor Dan Savage was even more eloquent:
"Before I go home tonight I’m going to pop across the street to the new Crypt, buy myself a buttplug, and name the fucking thing Mohammed.

Christ."

but... that's just the Stranger. (Don't kill him. Please.)
